It is proven a missile, it is over, people are only playing with the hope that it was more.


The fact that someone can simulate it in 3d using a simple particle cloud, and made it look almost exact despite the short amount of time it took him to make the video.... If he were to spend more time he could have made it look exactly like it was.

This is also (I would assume) how the photographer had his camera all ready to go on its tripod, with the iso (shutter speed) already set. He knew a launch was coming so he was prepared, he was there purposely to take a picture of the launch, I'm sure he never expected to get such a show though.
It's a missile... end of story.
