    Two words: plausible deniability.

    I'm sticking with my original analysis -- it was a failed attempt by a lone group of Red Lectroids to open a portal to the 8th dimension to free their compatriots and stopped just in time by the Hong Kong Cavaliers.

    I wonder if it was out of control, as most are suggesting, i.e. that it was leaking propellant. Wouldn't they have activated the self-destruct on the missile if it was actually out of control?

    Supposedly this was a test of a next generation ICBM that can avoid missile defense systems (interceptors, lasers, etc...), and supports mid-course maneuvering. Could it be that this is the mid-course maneuver? That it was a thruster, not a leak, causing the spiral flight path?

    Boo. You're like that fat, masked magician on Channel 9 that reveals all the secrets. I like to marvel in ignorance and think there's a space god or believe the end of days are coming in a few years.

    Actually, I think it's one of those laser light-show projectors, with a really powerful source. Just some kids at the local polytechnic having a little fun.
