He looked absolutely nothing like a ballistic missile [1], different radar profile, totally different source/trajectory - at his peak he was 25 miles high, whereas an ICBM at midcourse is about 750 miles - and, finally he was moving way too slow - at his peak he was moving at 800 miles/hour. ICBMs in their Re-Entry phase move are tracking at around 15,000 miles/hour.
