Perfect cone shape light in non foggy conditions turns to a spider web shape then fades away.About 75-100 feet of the ground, my friend and I while walking the dogs at night, saw a light hanging in the sky as if it were on a pole, except ther was no pole. The light was shinning down at a 45 degreen angle to the ground in a perfect cone shape. The end of the cone did not fade like light would, it cut off perfectly and flat on the bottom. It was a light as if you'd see in fog conditions, except there was no fog and not a single cloud. We stood and watched for about 15 seconds when it suddenly turned into a spider web shape. The spider web shape was glowing and was perfectly symmetrical. It then faded fairly quickly leaving a light glow then completly went away. And no this was not a spider web at all, we are for sure.((NUFORC Note: Missile launch from Vandenberg AFB. Please see article.

(AP) - An Air Force missile test Thursday provided a spectacular light show seen over California and much of the West, as far away as Utah and New Mexico.The colorful contrail was seen soon after the unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile blasted off at 7:36 p.m. from an underground silo at the Vandenberg military base north of Santa Barbara."The smoke went up in spirals as the sun was setting and turned into an orange, amber color. It was like a flower going into bloom pretty quickly," said Simon Cox, who saw it from a restaurant terrace in Santa Barbara.The missile traveled about 4,200 miles in about 30 minutes, striking a predetermined target at the Kwajalein Missile Range in the western chain of the Marshall Islands, the Air Force said.Vandenberg spokeswoman Kelly Gabel said clear conditions were responsible for the spectacular light show."We do this two or three times a year, but because the weather was so perfect we decided to launch it early," Gabel said. As a result, people were still awake to see it, and although the sun had set, sunlight below the horizon glinted off unspent fuel particles and water droplets."Suddenly we're getting calls from people as far away as New Mexico who saw it and want to know what it is," Gabel said.The mission was directed by the 576th Flight Test Squadron at Vandenberg and the 341th Space Wing and the 341st Space Wing, from Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana.The purpose was to test launch systems and the missile's accuracy and reliability.((END ARTICLE BY ASSOCIATED PRESS))
