The conditions required would be for the event to be at the correct altitude to be illuminated by the Sun while the viewing location is still in darkness.

No. It was an explosive charge to separate the payload from the third stage. The gases released were illuminated by sunlight. But it was way out in space.
It occurred a couple of hundred miles west of Vandenburg, at an altitude of several hundred miles, in sunlight.

The government didn't explain it. People who were trying to figure out what it was did.
Are you an expert on ICBMs and their flight characteristics? Why do you think the missile would have to have exploded? What other "stuff" is going on?
The timing and direction coincide with the missile (just as it did in Norway). Why believe it is "something new" when the facts show what it is?

There are three "stars" in a triangular formation slowly moving upward in the middle of the frame. You can see them if you compare the first frame against the last frame. A fainter "star" to the side of this formation "flares" as the wave passes over it. So...what are those things?
