<p>A vapour trail resembling a missile launch that crossed the skies off the Southern California coast has left US defence chiefs baffled.</p>
<p>Video posted on the CBS News website shows an object flying through the evening sky that left a large contrail, or vapour trail. A news helicopter owned by KCBS, a CBS affiliate in Los Angeles, shot the video.</p>
<p>Pentagon officials were stumped by the event.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nobody within the Department of Defence that we&#8217;ve reached out to has been able to explain what this contrail is, where it came from,&#8221; Pentagon spokesman Colonel Dave Lapan said.</p>
<p>While the vapour cloud captured on video resembled that created by a rocket in flight, military officials said they knew of no launches in the area.</p>
<p>Col Lapan said &#8220;all indications&#8221; were that the defence department was not involved with the object.</p>
<p>One expert called it an optical illusion. &#8220;It&#8217;s an airplane that is heading towards the camera and the contrail is illuminated by the setting sun,&#8221; said John Pike, director of US-based security analyst group globalsecurity.org.</p>
<p>The North American Aerospace Defence Command (Norad) issued a statement jointly with the US Northern Command (Northcom), saying that the contrail was not the result of a foreign military launching a missile. It provided no details.</p>
<p>&#8220;We can confirm that there is no threat to our nation,&#8221; the statement said.</p>
