Cruise ship stranded without power after fire
Did someone say they violated US airspace? I'm not sure how far off the coast of CA that extends but please enlighten me if you know.

Nobody, absolutely NO BODY, would violate US Airspace after 9/11 without every alarm going off up the chain.

Think about it? No ballistic missile is launched without a NOTAM (Notice to Airman) being issued. There is a whole issue of flight safety for all concerned. Also think about an unannounced launch of a ballistic missile. It isn't going to go unnoticed by the likes of Russia with their space based and ground based ballistic missile warning systems. For the Russians it would be considered a rogue launch. Strict protocol is in force between the US and Russia to avoid such a misinterpretation.

There is a contrail left after the missile is launched. If you watched the video, you can plainly see there is a missile.

Mystery deepens with video of ‘launch’ off O.C.
Looks like a jet contrail to me. A missile gets going quite a bit faster than that.
