(TheWeatherSpace.com) — A missile was test launched at Vandenberg Air Force Base on Wednesday morning, resulting in the destruction of the missile.
Air force officials detected an anomaly during the flight and destroyed the missile for safety reasons. TWS Senior Meteorologist Kevin Martin saw an irregular flight path.
“I was with three people and told them it looks a bit odd because the path was not correct, it was lower than usual,” said Martin. “Was sparkling a lot more than just stages so that could be a clue to what caused the problem.”
