The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, issued a
statement jointly with the U.S. Northern Command, or NORTHCOM, saying
that the contrail was not the result of a foreign military launching a
missile. It provided no further details.

Of course that implies that they know what it was - probably some
classified test.

Or, just as likely, they're clueless. But I agree that it was some sort
of U.S. military "exercise."

NBC is saying this was just a commercial airliner contrail shot from
an angle that made it look like a rocket.

That really sounds far fetched..... I work at an airport and we do
enjoy watching contrails and discussing aerodynamics of same, given
appropriate metrological conditions.....

BUT, even with perfect metrological conditions, mistaking that for a
rocket/missile shot really tries the imagination....

If it was a missile, it was the S L O W E S T missile every
launched. Even the reflection off the object looks like the reflection
off of a plane at sunset. The optical illusion makes more sense than a
very very slow missile.
