The sight of a missile streaking through the sky over the Californian coast was startling enough. What was more alarming last night, however, was that there was still no official explanation for what the object was.

Indeed, spokesmen from all strands of the US armed forces denied responsibility for the phenomenon. Foreign aggressors and private ballistics firms were also ruled out. It lead to speculation among aerospace experts on the internet that the trail could have been the result of an optical illusion (Daily Mail) Wednesday, 10 November 2010
