It's obviously squirrels trying to get to Hawaii to get some out of burying nuts every fall, plus macadamia nuts are better than acorns.

Space debris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since the earliest days of the space race, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) had maintained a database of all known rocket launches and the various objects that reach orbit as a result – not just the satellites themselves, but the aerodynamic shields that protected them during launch, upper stage booster rockets that placed them in orbit, and in some cases, the lower stages as well.

This is a really interesting article if you like space stuff. Which I do.
Kessler Syndrome. Heh.

<--Used to work at NORAD....which is why I find this "mystery rocket theory" absurd. NORAD would've lost their damn mind if it had been an actual "mystery" rocket.

If you look at the picture in the article, there is another horizontal orange plume. Some might call this a "cloud at sunset which is orange colored cuz of the sun, duh" but I think it was actually a rocket shot horizontally at the same time time the other rocket was shot vertically. It's actually a totally awesome Tic-Tac-Toe game, played with rockets.

That's the secret. That's the Science.
I'm thinking unemployed tech guy makes his own, just for the fun of it, fires it away from land so nobody gets hurt, and the government is too ashamed to admit that it's probably easy to do. That or the aliens think it's too expensive to live in California and just left.

Illegal Aliens trying to get to mars.

In some of the pictures it appears to be a aircraft but there are a few pictures that show what appears to be flames from the engine as in a missle launch.
I think if the Navy fired a missle it could have been something secret or a mistake and in either case they would deny it.

Correct. They know what it was. That info is not for public disclosure. As I said... the gov's silence is deafening.

The clouds were orange, too, from the angle of the sun.

This was no contrail from an airplane, either way.

Sorry I can’t buy the optical illusion caused by an aircraft. However I will put money on a Navy training exercise and someone pushed the “send” button in error. I’m just happy that it went “out to sea” instead of heading eastward into the landmass of the country. Someone with a “red face” needs to stand-up and say “I did it”, and then we all can move on to other issues.

Either the Navy was doing a secret test on anti missile technology and wants to keep quiet about it or they had a malfunction and the launch was an accident and they want to keep quiet about it. Just be glad nothing bad happened( Flight 800 Long Island)
I've seen one missile launch here on the east coast, one fired from Virginia. I was in Pa and I noticed that the chem trail was very different from a typical jet. There's no mistaking a missile from a jet and the video proves it. If there was a total lack of video footage, speculation might be justified.
