Here's a rule I live by and it works out pretty weird: when people say something really unusual happened in the sky and they know in their hearts what it is, they're wrong. Because people generally really suck at recognizing what they're seeing in the sky.

If it were a rocket launched by us and the military wanted it to be a secret they would have just announced a launch and lied about what they were launching (as they probably do all the time) or done it where nobody was likely to see (we have launch sites all over the world and in very remote places). They would have to be pretty stupid to launch a missile over Los Angeles and think nobody would notice.

If it were a missile launch by someone other than the United States I really don't think they'd be able to keep their intense interest in it secret at all (and the president would probably not continue his overseas trip).

That said, at times like these I really miss Art Bell.
