Mystery Missile Launch
The BBC report of a significant missile launch off the coast of California is at the link. Only problem is the US is not aware of any DoD launch! Perhaps it's another RN admiral going ballistic. 
Please try keep this thread to the missile launch and not hopping mad admirals.

Two things come to mind, assuming the Pentagon types are not lying through their teeth.
1. If it was a foreign missile off the coast of Los Angeles, that is quite perturbing. If the launch vessel/submarine got close enough to fire such a missile, it would be close enough for a shorter range attack on LA. Not that loss of LA would be that big of a deal
, but the wider connotations are worrying. The "kink" in the vapour trail is reminiscent of a submarine launched missile to me. NK or China?
2. If NORAD don't have a handle on this, it would be equally surprising. I won't hold my breath for an explanation though!

Somewhere, deep in the Pacific, on board an SSBN.
Captain.. "OK Number One, we will practice launching from tube six today".
Number One.. "Err, sorry sir, tube six not available"
Captain... "Why ever not Number One"?
Number One... "Well sir, Seaman Jones was fixing a short circuit in one of the galley ovens last night and you will never believe what happened!"

I liked one of the other quotes on that site...
"Aliens finally decided to leave planet earth as they realize it is just impossible for humans to agree on anything."

Yes, it was an aircraft!
BBC News - Pentagon says aircraft caused mystery 'missile' trail
I say BS! What an insult to ones intelligence.
If it was an a/c, it was a hot ship.
My money is on it being a WX balloon.

Debated over on Jet Blast. I won't repeat all my posts on this thread as they can be viewed at the following link.
The helicopter camera crew footage of the event is edited. There is a lot more than the short snippet that was aired. Some later footage of the event on my post at #78.

Another example of how an aircraft contrail can be misinterpreted. It is all about perspective.

Some excellent work from the guys over at Above Top Secret.
The following images prove that it was no missile. The helo cameraman admitted that he filmed the trail for 10 minutes. No ballistic missile would be in view for that length of time. As the airliner approaches the coast the contrail dissapates and it carries on its easterly heading.
Here are some independent images.
