A routine Minuteman 1 intercontinental ballistic missile test at Van Denberg Air Force Base produced a fireworks style show across Southern Alameda County and other areas. Two missiles launched within 70 minutes created bright trails and an explosion like flare as the second stage detached. Fremont police received about 100 calls as observers described blue green lines in the sky fading into a green glow over several minutes. The Air Force said the display was the first of two missiles launched toward a preselected target roughly 5 000 miles away at sunset.
