Probably not, more like they got a vector and then were forgotten???
Whatever the reason they went right over the space launch complex at Vandenberg AFB.
LXJ417 today, SBA-SJC.
Probably just an erroneous position. Take a look at the tracklog:
12:55 34.60 -120.43 302 16500 climbing
12:55 34.62 -121.05 302 16700 climbing
12:55 34.63 -120.43 302 16700
302kts isn’t going to make 1.2 degrees of longitude in less than a minute.
I thought about that too, but spy flight is much more fun.
