SAN DIEGO – The first images of the missile launch that sent a bright light streaking across the Pacific Ocean over the weekend were released by the Pentagon Tuesday. One dramatic image shows bright fire streaking from the tail a Trident II D5 missile as it launched Saturday night from the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine Kentucky, the Los Angeles Times reported. The launch was one of two the Navy conducted during exercises off the Southern California coast and the 156th successful test flight of the missile, officials said. A congressional delegation that included representatives from Arkansas and Indiana were able to watch Saturday’s test, the Navy said. A second successful test launch took place Monday afternoon, the Navy said. The blastoff took place with far less fanfare than Saturday night’s launch, which provoked residents from San Francisco to Mexico to take to social media, posting photos of an eerie-looking, bluish-green plume smeared above the Pacific. Speculation was wide-ranging, including rumors of an alien UFO visit. The Navy later confirmed the missile launch as the source of the atmospheric display but would not say when additional launches might take place or disclose where the exercise was actually occurring.
