Whatever it was at least it was outward bound thank G-d... There is still a great deal of speculation as to what it was but more and more people are starting to say it was an airliner... I find it hard to believe it could be an accidental launch because I would hope there needs to be a few levels of arming to send something like that on it way
. I would also think even if the U.S military didn't fess up to something like that Russia or China would be watching close enough to detect the launch of something big enough to leave vapor trail like that and use it to embarrass the U.S military.
