In video at starting about 03:39:46 threw 03:39:48 there is a pinkish light; left of center; top to bottom that appears to be moving up ward with the Plume. At 03:39:47 I Can see it best.
Does not appear to be pixelated/artifact. Ideas or thoughts anyone ?

In the late 1970′s, as I was driving eastbound toward my small hometown in northwestern Pennsylvania about an hour after sunset, I saw what appeared to me to be a large orange moon in the southeastern sky. However, it appeared to be getting bigger. So I pulled over and got out of the car to watch it. It became very large, occupying about a third of the easter sky (located in the southeastern sky) from my perspective. It may have changed color before it faded, but I’m not sure (my memory of it is incomplete). It did not change location. It expanded from a stationary point in the sky and then faded. The phenomenon lasted about five minutes, maybe longer, as I recall. I had never seen anything like it before or since until I saw the above video. However, this phenomenon was a stationary bright orange expanding disk which faded to a ring before it completely disappeared. It exhibited an appearance similar to a drop of bright orange food coloring being dropped into a glass of clear water. The next day, the local evening news anchor said that it was reported to be a weather experiment in the vicinity of Washington DC.

it looks to my that the thing is not getting bigger but rather is circular object moving towards camera

I saw something similar on 10/25/2011. We were driving north on hwy 101, I was located on a straight stretch between tillamook and garibaldi, Oregon. It was amazing looking. Appeared and vanished very quickly.

A missile may coincide with this phenomenon, but I do not think that is what this is.
I think it was a HAARP experiment coinciding with the launch. The HAARP shot would
alter the ionoshere in such a way. Not knowing the exact direction from the recording viewer I can not be sure. A Minuteman missile would be a perfect test for the HAARP to try to disable or destroy. The site of the US HAARP is Alaska..also to the northwest….more north actually. These HAARP tests are not something that are advertised by the Navy.
It is all very hush hush. It is a way to combat incoming missiles…they hope.

yeahh this is the f a r t of Hercules !!!
It looks like a blast an Explosion or radiation but there is a mathematical cymmetry of expansion and the question is it a Circle or Sphere cause we have only 2 dimensions of the video one angle view maybe it is a 3 dimensional figure which is give us a Sphere a base cone or cylinder !? they are saying it’s a test missile…. yeahhhhhhh I got it ! The A- S -S of Hercules is blowing wind also !!!

Bush administration funded mini-nukes and micro-nukes are being tested for aerosol seeding via MIRVed-ICBM delivery into the troposphere/stratosphere. Careful computer
coordinated targetting of multiple such ICBMs into appropriate zones of the atmosphere
produces weather changes of varying kinds and degrees. The resulting shift of precipitation patterns makes for a formidable weather weapon. Plans for superficial detonations in the
near surface of the ocean depths are planned but not yet tested.

It has been suggested that it could be HAARP – weather control weaponry technology that does exist around the world, and has been accused in contributing to earthquakes, hurricanes, etc (Haiti, Japan, etc.)

I was a design engineer on the Minuteman ICBM when the thrust termination ports were designed. We found from the radar at Kwajalein that the thrust termination ports formed a star pattern that the Russians could use to determine the warheads. Project “WASTE KING” made the position of the thrust termination ports (aluminum) random by the delayed explosion of a shaped charge on each port.

The missiles in the silos have a shelf life. When the end of the effective shelf life is over the missiles are removed, disassembled, transported to Vandenberg and reassembled to train assembly and maintenance crews. The firing of the re-assembled missile from Vandenberg is used to train the silo crews and check safety.

Couldn’t it just be optics flare from bright object passing above? Just thinking…

Vehicle will probably send one or more unarmed warheads on a ballistic

Jack,
According to my globe, Hawaii is close to the great circle between California and the Marshall Islands … looking east from Hawaii will likely catch a view if the missile leaves something to see in space.
Must go … someone else is wrong on the internet. {sheesh}

Hawaii is blessed!!!

Many people don’t realize that there’s a miraculous Byzantine icon of the Virgin Mary in Hawaii, maybe that has something to do with it?

Or maybe not….. Who knows anything anymore, really??
