Unexplained Missile Launched Off LA Coast [VIDEO]


www.aolnews.com

An unexplained missile shot across the sky off the coast of Los Angeles and was caught on video by a CBS News traffic helicopter during Monday night's rush hour. Today, the missile is still a mystery. A Navy spokesman told CBS affiliate KFMB that it was not theirs, and so far the Pentagon has not been able to explain it either. The missile was reportedly about 35 miles west of L.A. and just north of Catalina Island.

NBC's Pentagon correspondent, Jim Miklaszewski, reports that a missile laun

*I did a quick search to see if this is posted before and I found nothing so if it has already been posted please remove*

An expert interviewed in the video claims it could have been an intercontinental ballistic missile launch to warn Asia that yes, America can do that.

This is extremely odd and I would like the input of anyone that seen this event or know anything about it.



This has occured just a few days after the mysterious rocket launch over Phoenix, Arizona.

I cannot back this claim as it's just a rumor for now. With that said I am hearing rumors or whispers of rumors that this missile was a "warning" of sorts from China. Again I have nothing to back this rumor because at this point it is exactly that, but if true ...... wow! I do know that China did downgrade the US credit rating today to A+, and that seems like a pretty big coincidence to me based on the rumor.

According to the expert in the video I provided he says it might be an intercontinental ballistic missile while Obama is in Asia to prove to Asia that yes, America can launch an intercontinental ballistic missile from a submarine.

For anyone that believes that China would get away with launching a missle from our coast... Apparently has lost grip on reality and has embraced fantasy.

That sub would be occupying space at the bottom of the ocean... Immediatly...

Its funny..Everyone calls the US war mongers... then believes we would sit by Idle as a missle is launched by a foreign govt... on our coast line..

Ill make this public knowledge.... If this turns out to be a chineese missle.. I will live sex free the rest of my life.

That is such a rediculous theory!!

This has already been posted, but let the people decide what it could be. I wouldn't be suprised if Barry is trying to flex his muscle while over in Asia.

Early on in the report they said the Navy had no idea about it. Now if the Navy did know anything about it I am guessing they would have had canned answers ready to prevent panic. I am also wondering where China's secret nuclear submarine was when that launch took place. I definitely question if this was in fact our missile. I am thinking it was a show of force from China not from US. The world knows our military might. What the world doesn't know is China's.

Yeah well I am pretty sure that we wouldn't have any idea if it was from the secret nuclear Chinese sub since we have openly admitted that it can travel into our waters 100% undetected. Nope couldn't have been. Sorry, but I question all the spoon fed answers. I am surprised they didn't just write it off as a weather balloon that caught on fire, or some kids just playing with home made bottle rockets.

How in the world could the Navy claim they didn't do it when they launched the missile WESTWARD in eye shot of one of the world's largest population centers during daylight?

It's not a hobby rocket. It's big. It's real. They better cough up some answers, and do it quickly.

This was a threat of some kind, but from who, for who?

I just heard this on regular radio and they claim NASA and the Military are perplexed. Do you really think thats true? I mean the news kind of implied it was by some source that was not supposed to do it. at least that was my take on it.

I am concerned about all these missiles, perhaps because Luke set off theirs it called out other sleeper cells to launch theirs?

Just so people know, you NEVER launch a missile towards the WEST to get things into orbit. So that means, whatever payload this missile was carrying was not intended for orbit, it was intended to intercept either an airborne or a ground target.

Now it's POSSIBLE that this was some sort of Naval accident or rogue action. That would explain the delay thus far in an official government statement of confirmation: They are crafting a cover story to release soon.

Well the missle was launched in international waters wasn't it? So it could have been another country's missile right?

Where did it land? Has it landed yet?

No way, not that close to Los Angeles, and especially not without our government's approval (which we can conclude based on their denial of knowledge so far).

However, no matter what, I'd like to think that our military tracked said missile. With the amount of money they get for defense, and after 9/11, they better have tracked that thing.

According to a congressional defense analyst, China is trying to acquire, and may well already possess, submarine-launched, supersonic land-attack cruise missiles -- weapons which, when deployed by Chinese navy submarines, could shower U.S. coastal cities with nuclear-tipped stealth missiles in a surprise attack that may not be detected until the first bombs are detonated. The Russian NPO Mashinostroyenya "Yahont" (NATO SS-N-26) missile "was put on sale in August during a Russian air show," said Richard D. Fisher, a defense analyst working for Rep. Chris Cox, R-Calif. Fisher, who attended the air show in Moscow, told WorldNetDaily that the Russians openly bragged about having sold the weapon system to a major world power. Both Fisher and Aviation Week and Space Technology confirm that China was by far the most likely customer. The new Chinese navy missile is intended to fly at very low altitude to defeat radar detection, and strike its target at supersonic speed. No Western nation currently has such a weapon. In fact, the only similar weapon, an underwater version of the nuclear-armed U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile, has been withdrawn from service.

According to this China is way past what most thought was capable. They have undetectable missiles according to the article. In fact our own defense analyst said that we probably wouldn't even know they launched it until the first bomb goes off.
