Conspiracy Theories Swirl as Navy Launches Second Trident Missile Test Off California Coast: ‘Unreal Blue and White Cloud\
November 10, 2015
"The government doesn't want to admit that we are not alone."
The U.S. Navy launched a second — and supposedly final — missile off the coast of California Monday afternoon, and in doing so, set off a plethora of conspiracy theories.
The Navy launched the first Trident missile Saturday night from a submarine, and because of the night sky, many people reported seeing the "mysterious light flash." However, KABC reported that since Monday afternoon's launch was during the day, no pictures have surfaced thus far.

"It’s important that we test these missiles for our national security," John M Daniels, a spokesman for the secretive Strategic Systems Programs office that oversees nuclear-tipped missiles in the Navy, told the Los Angeles Times. "We don’t announce future launches, but this is it for any time soon."
KABC reported that both missiles were scheduled to be launched Saturday, but there were too many private boats in the area.
Abe Blair, a 36-year-old photographer, told the Daily Mail that he was taking pictures of the skyline Saturday night when he spotted the first missile which he described as an "unreal blue and white cloud just expanding bigger and bigger."
"What is that?!" Blair said he and his friend both yelled as they attempted to "recompose and try and capture this UFO as it headed right towards us."
Blair and his friend weren't the only ones to assume the missile launch was a UFO.
Khloe and I are freaking out right now over this UFO situation
