BBC says Pentagon says Aircraft not Missile:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11731014
Fox News Blog says that DoD says aircraft...
http://liveshots.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/11/10/dod-case-closed-plane-caused-contrail/?test=latestnews
"...With all the information that we have gathered over the last day...
both within the Department of Defense and other U.S. government
agencies, we have no information to suggest this was anything other than
a contrail caused by an aircraft," said Col. David Lapan..."
Still, the very careful wording of this quote is neither a confirmation
nor a denial. It's interesting how it's worded that the general public
is experiencing an "optical illusion".

even old missiles like the Nike left the launch rail at multi-mach
speeds...the chances of an ATC seeing it long enough to think it might be a
problem are slim since it would have been at a close to vertical climb. The
military would have been instructed to just ignore or watch it, depending
on their individual functions. Since it looks like it might have been off
Point Magoo, I'd suspect it was a Navy test shot.

Hi List,
If this was truly a ballistic missile, wouldn't it show up on the
radars of every air-traffic control tower and weather doppler for
hundreds of miles around? It doesn't seem like an epic investigation
to reconcile the known air-traffic in the area at the time and any
radar signatures that were detected. A plane and a missile would have
very different flight paths, so it should be relatively easy (for
qualified persons) to determine what it is.
Let's pretend this contrail was a bolide trail instead. Where is the
nearest doppler station?
Best regards,
MikeG

Dear List,
Those of us who insisted the subject trail was from a missle
appear to have some heavy duty support. This has just been
released internationally.
----But Doug Richardson, the editor of Janes Missiles and
Rockets, examined the video for the Times of London and said he
was left with little doubt.
"Its a solid propellant missile," he told the Times. "You can
tell from the efflux [smoke]."
Richardson said it could have been a ballistic missile launched
from a submarine or an interceptor, the defensive anti-missile
weapon used by Navy surface ships---
