Random Missile Fired Near Los Angeles…Wait, What?!?

I can’t believe I missed this yesterday! Apparently a random and mysterious “missile” was fired off the coast of Los Angeles. Military officials are still investigating the matter. The fact that they don’t know what happened — or are not revealing the truth — is extremely disturbing. Here’s the skinny from the LA Times:

Military and aviation officials said Tuesday they don’t know who may have launched a mysterious object spotted in the sky late Monday off the Southern California coast, but noted that whatever the projectile was, it did not pose a threat to national security.

A KCBS news helicopter spotted what appeared to be a missile traveling through the sky northwest of Catalina Island, about 35 miles west of Los Angeles.

Holy hell!!! The United States of America has the largest and most sophisticated military in the world and it can’t keep track of its own missiles?!? A case of “oops” is completely unacceptable. That said, the truth could be really cool. In my head the missile was launched to repel a fleet of skrulls or some other nasty alien race.

What do you think happened? Also, thanks to Jason for the link! (Also also, I was going to file this under mobile tech. *snicker*)

  1. Saw something tonight that said it was a plane's contrails and that the camera angle makes it look like it's something else.

  2. Funny. My friend JD and I were having a conversation about the second amendment the other day and his argument was: "you have the right to a firearm within reason," and my argument was: "you can't really draw arbitrary lines in the sand like that because who gets to decide what is 'reasonable'?" He then, of course, went with the example of someone owning an ICBM. He says; "So you think it's OK if someone buys a surface-to-air missile and has it in his back yard?"

    Well, I didn't have a snappy comeback, but thanks to this story, I think I just won the argument.

    Thanks, Mr. Padilla!
