Mystery Missile Launch: Nothing to See Here...Move Along

A missile was launched the other day and no one seems to know who is responsible for it.  The L.A. Times reports the following statement from the Department of Defense:


Officials with the Defense Department, the Navy and the Air Force said they did not have any details on the object or its launch site. Pentagon officials said that initial indications were that the military was not involved.


"We are aware of the unexplained contrail reported off the coast of Southern California yesterday evening," according to a statement Tuesday from the North American Aerospace Defense Command and the U.S. Northern Command, which operates the U.S. and Canadian missile warning system. "At this time, we are unable to provide specific details but we are working to determine the exact nature of this event.


"We can confirm that there is no indication of any threat to our nation and we will provide more information as it becomes available," the statement said


No threat to our national security?  Are you kidding me?  Move along plebeians.  Nothing to see here.  Nothing to see here.  Move along.
