Atmospheric skipping and afterburners?

A plane following at some distance and could not keep up with craft....satilite skipping across atmosphere? lite up the nose cone and then a mushroom like cloud (afterburner?) at tail. skipped out of atmosephere and kept going. Traveling NNE.



NUFORC Note:

We assume that the witness describes above the launch of a Titan IV missile out of Cape Canaveral, which occurred at 20:55 hrs. (Eastern) on this date. The missile apparently was launched to the northeast, so it was visible along the eastern shoreline of the U. S.. PD
