[Launch Alert] San Diego Launch?

[Launch Alert]

A few hours ago I received advance warning of a launch near San Diego scheduled for mid-day today.

I later received the following report from Launch Alert reader Chris Roberts:

"I hate to bug you about what i've seen (I'm sure you get a lot of those), but you hear anything about a launch to the WSW of Chula Vista, Ca just now?  Just saw a "contrail" that I've never seen before.  It didn't have the regular "Straight" contrail of an aircraft, but more zig-zig like high altitude rockets.  I have a co-worker claim that he thought he saw a "Stage-separation".  I've got a bad cell phone picture of it, which you can sort of make out. 

I also checked Flightaware for Honolulu, Kona, and Maui to see if any flights came over and I didn't see any (which would be the direction it is coming from)."

I took a very quick look at Chris' photo and it indeed appears to resemble a rocket trail. In addition to Chris, another person also reported seeing this event.

Hopefully, we will learn more about this event.

Here are updates regarding other launches:

New Mexico: Tomorrow morning's launch of a target missile from Fort Wingate near Gallup appears to be on schedule for 6:30-7:30 a.m. Mountain Time (5:30-6:30 a.m. Pacific Time). If conditions are right, it may produce a nice visual display. White Sands Missile Range tells me if weather is an issue, the back up launch date is March 3.

Vandenberg AFB: The launch of a Taurus XL rocket carrying NASA's Glory spacecraft is now set for Friday, March 4 at 2:09:43 a.m. PST
