Circa 2010. I wish I knew the exact date.

I was outside, looking due west, roughly looking towards Tucson, at a spectacular sunset. Spectacular colors with several horizontal layers of whispy clouds that from a distance looked like one stacked over another with sky inbetween. Blues, pinks, yellows, oranges and red.

And then I saw a missile launch. I'll never forget it, as images of the first missile launch from the movie THE DAY AFTER flashed thru my head. I was just as completely dumbstruck as the actors in the movie. There is no doubt it was a missile. Classical spreading cloud shape, appeared to be arching north from my vantage point. I watched it go up and disappear briefly behind the horizontal layers of clouds, up up and further north, until out of view.

I never found anything on the internet about a missile launch. At that time I did not know there was a decommissioned missile based around Tucson, but when I found it on the internet, that was the direction I was looking. I'm close enough that I would see a launch once a missile clears the height of mountains. It could have been San Diego also, but I think I'm too far away to see a launch from that area.

Have always wondered what I saw.
