Here is the scoop. I remember seeing something on 20/20 about this island
anyway here:

U.S. Ballistic Missile-Shield Test a Success
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Defense Department shot down a mock warhead over the
Pacific Ocean late on
Saturday in a successful test of a controversial anti-ballistic
missile defense.
Two out of the three previous tests had failed.
The $100 million test involved a Minuteman 2 intercontinental ballistic missile
launched from Vandenberg
Air Force Base on California and an interceptor fired from Kwajalein
Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, 4,800 miles away.
The Defense Department said the target was launched from Vandenberg Air Force
Base in California at
10:40 p.m. EDT. Twenty-one minutes and 34 seconds later, a
ground-based interceptor lifted off from Kwajalein Atoll, it said.
The target was destroyed 140 miles above the central Pacific, outside the
earth's atmosphere, by the
120-pound ``kill vehicle.''
