The USAF have dismissed the incident as other than a missile launch, which indicates that our radar blackout device is acting properly. However, this is no excuse for your appalling breach of security. I am not amused and have no desire to raise the CIA's or MI6's suspicions before Operation Hammerstrike is too far advanced for them to stop us. See to it that this is not repeated or the results will be most unpleasant–for you.Rules for submitting comments:

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

"OK, Senator, now we conclude the test by pushing the Launch button. At that point, this green light goes on, telling us that if this had been a live launch, it would have done it. Go ahead, push it."

Display says LAUNCH COMMIT in glowing red letters.
THUMP. WHOOSH. ROAARRRrrrrrr (Dopplering into the distance)
Display changes to LAUNCH COMPLETED.
That's when everybody notices that the Mode switch was set on LIVE instead of TEST.
(Everybody) "Oh, S**T."
/I'll be very surprised if this isn't what happened.
