Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/November 9th, 2010 Southern California Missile Launch
Besides the news coverage, this has instructive value because of what it is; an example of how an aircraft contrail could be mistaken for a missile launch.  This appears to pass the "10-year test" in ; I know that if I were studying aviation and something like this had happened 10 years ago, I'd want to read about it.  I understand the reaction that this is just a silly news story, but silly news stories don't get reaction pieces in the New Scientist.  I could live with a merge to contrail, but there is enough coverage of this to merit a separate article
