Default Mystery Missile Launch Seen off Calif. Coast

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/...n7036716.shtml

(CBS) A mysterious missile launch off the southern California coast was caught by CBS affiliate KCBS's cameras Monday night, and officials are staying tight-lipped over the nature of the projectile.

CBS station KFMB put in calls to the Navy and Air Force Monday night about the striking launch off the coast of Los Angeles, which was easily visible from the coast, but the military has said nothing about the launch.

It won't be said and will be denied, but it was probably just a SLBM to flex muscle.

Oh, just a SLBM to a flex muscle.

Pretty safe assumption.

have you been completely ignoring china and their rhetoric lately, especially concering the east china sea?

IF it was a flexing it was directed at china and their aggressive territory claims as of late

Do you think blasting off a missile in show of power is doing anything? It's widely accepted in the world that the USA has the most powerfull military in the world. blasting off a missile is not really doing anything more.

I just dont see how effective a show of muscle is for the USA at this point. It just a given that they have the power to attack just about any target in the world :dunno:
