Technically this is Wednesday morning, but some people call it Tuesday night. ;-) I'm just posting it in the event someone sees it and thinks it is a UFO. Most of the time, if these go off, it is very close to the start of the window to maybe one hour into the window. If something looks dicey, the launch generally gets scrubbed rather than go off at the end of the window.

I shot one of these from Nevada:

I thought George Bush mixed up the nuclear launch box with the X-box controller. ;-) That is, I didn't know about the test.

A bit off topic, but there was an article in the UK press regarding the number of UFO sightings going down in the "internet age" due to people being better informed. Well I call it information, some call it debunking.

Advance notice of these missile tests has eliminated many UFO sightings.

Note this missile was launched by an E-6B Mercury per the link.
