There is a RealPlayer video file from KEYT-TV, Santa Barbara, Calif. of
their 11 PM Saturday news broadcast.  The story on the missile launch starts
at the top of the show.  Some fairly good video (for RealPlayer) and towards
the end they show video of how the swirled contrail looked from Las Vegas,
Nevada.

Also, about 2 min. into their Sat. 11 PM news, KNTV-TV, San Jose, Calif. has
a short clip of it.

The KSEE-TV, Fresno, Calif. file for Sat. 11 PM news doesn't seem to be
ready.  Perhaps it will show up later.

None of this video is as good as seeing it in person through binoculars.
For one thing they of course must cut it for time reasons but it is better
than nothing if you want to look.

Florida Today Space Online has a story on the test but I saw no pictures.
