NUFORC Note:

Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. Probably not a missile launch from Vandenberg AFB, since they were holding an open house for the public on this weekend. Please see below. Our gratitude to Brian Webb, who provides NUFORC, and many others, with the schedule of launches out of Vandenberg AFB. PD
