North Korea has confirmed that its launch, which is believed to have caused full ground stops at all West Coast and Hawaii-based US airports for about 15 minutes no Monday, was a hypersonic missile.
Kim Jong Un personally oversaw the successful test of a hypersonic missile, and state media has confirmed the missile carrying a 'hypersonic gliding vehicle' hit 'the set target' 620miles away.
On Tuesday, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed it had ordered a full ground stop at all West Coast airports on Monday.

UFO?
Was the FAA afraid that the North Koreans might conduct an EMP test or test the range of their missile to see if they could get to the Eastern Pacific. There might be an off chance a plane might get hit.
Maybe the latter more than the former, but we can speculate since the government works more and more in mysterious ways keeping the citizens in the dark purposefully.
Is Ray Epps an FBI informant? The goobers in the gooberment will not tell a sitting senator.
So almost any and all speculation sis reasonable.
Bit of an over-reaction I would think.........of course the frightened panty wearing sheep on the left coast and Hawaii probably cowered in sewers and basements at the airport.
Diverts the left coast attention from real crises like rampant violent crime, rampant black on white and asian crimes, spiraling inflation, empty shelves, out of control immigration, Dementia Joe and the Cackling clown VP, incompetent government to name just a few........
