Someone launched a mysterious missile 35 miles off of the California coast last night — just west of Los Angeles and north of Catalina Island. But anyone in the military knows who did it, or what the hell the thing was, they haven’t told me yet.

“Several different offices are looking into it,” says Anthony Roake, a spokesman for Air Force Space Command. “I’m reaching blanks with the folks I’ve talked to.” U.S. Strategic Command and Air Force Global Strike Command sources are similarly stumped. NBC and CBS

says they’ve had no luck with the Navy, either.

Roake says the Air Force’s last launch in the area was on Friday, when an unmanned Delta 2 rocket took off from Vandenberg Air Force Base with an Italian satellite aboard.

A local CBS TV news crew caught the mysterious missile, which threw up a long, thick plume against the Pacific sunset. If I learn anything about where the thing was headed, you’ll be the first to know.
