I have no idea what is going on, but neither does the U.S. Military…
A mysterious ‘missile’ streaked across the sky off the Southern California coast Monday night and was caught on video by a local CBS News helicopter camera.
KCBS said the trail was visible from Los Angeles. The helicopter crew described the missile’s location as 35 miles out to sea north of Catalina Island.
The U.S. Navy is the likely source, but Navy officials have been unable to determine who launched what, NBC News reported.
Senior Pentagon and Navy officials said they did not know who launched the missile. As one official said, “We’re checking.”
Meanwhile, a Navy spokesman told local CBS station KFMB that there was no Navy activity reported in that region Monday night, and that it was not the Navy’s missile.

That’s just the spirit of Jack Bauer looking over the California skies. He left once Jerry Brown became governor again, so it is no longer safe there .

Oh, man, there are about 75 Mr. Slave jokes in my head right now-none of which you’d get because you don’t watch South Park. You’d like Mr. Slave. He talks about Jesus Christ a lot.

Wait? You think some flim-flam report from the Pentagon will stop conspiracy theories? Obviously, you don’t know Americans too well
