Update - US Navy Missile Test Launch confirmed.
"The Navy Strategic Systems Programs held a scheduled missile test flight at sea from USS Kentucky, which is a ballistic missile submarine. The test was conducted off the coast of Southern California, the Pentagon said in a statement." - CNN
I have received several tens of reports and emails describing this event seen in California, Nevada and Arizona; some viewers have included several photographs and a video of this event. From the images and details of duration of 40 seconds up to over 5 minutes and more, and descriptions I conclude that a missile launch was witnessed. I don"t have any information of scheduled launches. I will get confirmation of my analysis, if available, and post later that and the images received.
