19:20 - ...The hell was that?

It's been about an hour since the sun went down. But not in the upper atmosphere, where this evidently just happened:
It came from the south, most likely Vandenburg AFB, where they've got five of these missile tests scheduled. this one certainly looked funky, though. (The first picture was right after it apparently was disarmed; while I was still focusing my camera, it changed from a bright point to the diffuse blotch you can see in the photo.)
Still waiting to see something on the local news about it... looked awfully cool, though.
UPDATE: I still haven't seen any official reports on the news, but Paul sends me this:

Ain't the Internet grand?
