Washington, D.C., United States (AHN) – The Pentagon on Tuesday denied any Department of Defense or other U.S. agencies involvement in a mystery sighting reported by a KCBS News helicopter claiming to have captured a footage on what it describes as a vapor trail of a missile rising from the water 36 miles off the Californian coast.

“While there is nothing at this time that leads the Department of Defense to believe this is a missile launch, the department and other US government agencies with expertise in aviation and space continue to look into the condensation trail (CONTRAIL) seen and reported off the coast of southern California on Monday evening,” said Pentagon spokesman Col. David Lapan in a statement.

After hours of hectic activities checking different U.S. departments and agencies, Lapan said, “All DoD entities with rocket and missile programs reported no launches, scheduled or inadvertent, during the time period in the area of the reported contrail. NORAD and USNORTHCOM confirmed that it did not monitor any foreign military missile launch off the California coast yesterday and has determined that there was no threat to the US homeland.”

Moreover, the FAA ran radar replays from Monday afternoon of a large area west of Los Angeles, noted the Pentagon, adding, “Those replays did not reveal any fast-moving, unidentified targets.”

“The FAA also did not receive reports of any unusual sightings from pilots who were flying in the area Monday afternoon,” said the statement, promising to update all, “If any new information comes to light in the coming days.”
