Who spilled coffee on the dashboard? -g- FWIW, some Wiki info: A modern ICBM carries 10 warheads, 100 "Little Boys Nagasaki" each. A single Russian ICBM is thus capable of completely destroying 10 largest American cities. -ng- Which is why... WWIII is murder-suicide of a nation. Could it be accidental? Good news: You'll have 30 minutes to crawl to the nearest cemetery, but don't expect that your body will remain intact; it will be vaporized upon direct impact. Better news: There will be no WWIII unless a nuclear nation goes insane. Really bad news: It's possible, although not very likely. Possible if there is a large scale non-nuclear military action like the beginning of WWIII. en.wikipedia.org "R-36M2 Voivode (SS-18 Mod 5): The newer, more accurate SS-18 Mod 5 version placed in converted silos allowed the SS-18 to remain the bulwark of the SRF's hard-target-kill capability. The Mod 5 carries 10 MIRVs, each having a higher yield than the Mod 4 warheads. The Mod 5 warheads have nearly twice the yield of the Mod 4 (approximately 750 KT to 1 MT) according to Western estimates, though Russian sources suggest a yield of 550-750 KT each. "

They know where it came from if they wanted us to know. We have eyes in the sky that speak infared and can pin point the launch point

Of course, if it's a classified launch, they won't be able to confirm nor deny. And if it's a foreign launch, which likely would be classified information, they won't be able to confirm nor deny. If it's an accidental launch, then they'd likely classify the event and therefore be unable to confirm or deny. The meme being put into the press that perhaps it was an optical illusion indicates that whatever it is, they wish it to remain secret for now.
