Default Missile fired at Passenger jet liner or was it a Bottle Rocket??

From other accounts I've seen the Jet was at 26,000 feet,quite a bottle Rocket or flare don't you think?

Pilot Reports 'Missile' Fired at Jetliner Near LAX (11/28/05)
FBI agents and Homeland Security officials spent the weekend investigating the report of a possible missile fired at an American Airlines plane taking off from Los Angeles International Airport.
Sources tell ABC News the pilot of American Airlines Flight 621, en route to Chicago, radioed air traffic controllers after takeoff from LAX. He told them a missile had been fired at the aircraft and missed.
The plane was over water when the pilot said he saw a smoke trail pass by the cockpit.
FBI agents believe it was a flare or a bottle rocket, but say they may never know if that's what it actually was

Still too high for an Estes , although some of the rocketeers I've seen on the Discovery Channel were getting impressive heights from their home builts .
