missiles over Canada?

Residents of a small coastal Newfoundland community are wondering if several objects shaped like “huge, oversized bullets” seen soaring through the sky on Monday evening were missiles.
“I went to take a picture of the sunset and when I went to do it, I saw these objects in the sky,” said Darlene Stewart, a resident of Harbour Mille, N.L., who, with her boyfriend, said she watched one missile-like object for 10 minutes, snapping several photos before the mystery projectile disappeared from view. “At first I didn’t have a clue until we looked through the binoculars, but we still weren’t quite sure but what we’ve seen from movies ... it looked like a missile.”
Government officials weren’t saying on Wednesday what the objects might have been, but the mystery caught the attention of news outlets and police in Newfoundland.
“We confirmed that it was something,” Sergeant Wayne Edgecombe told CBC News on Wednesday. But he wouldn’t reveal what the investigation uncovered.

N.L. residents puzzled by 'oversized bullets' in sky

NORAD claims that it wasn't us, "confirms no missle tests in area."

Hmmmm...wonder who it was and why?

10 minutes is an awful long time for a 'missile' to be in view.

I think it was the "SPOT ON" weather balloons taking another arial survey.

Canadian missiles only go 80% as fast as ours.

That article was pretty interesting. Sounds like the French were firing off missiles from a sub, but didn't inform anybody. Which isn't exactly the first country you think of when it comes to missile tests.

And just why would the French be firing missiles off over here instead of close to their own neck of the woods? What, they didn't want to risk their own folks if something went wrong?
