6:16 am
you can see the bright flare. if you are just joining us, this test overnight from vandenberg air force base in southern california is important because pkorea are running high, as the continue to test their own weapons. although the u.s. air force says that this particular test was not in direct response to the north's missile test last week. reggie, back to you. >> thanks, jessica. this seems pretty disturbing. an air france flight flew past the location with north korea's recent missile landed in the sea of japan within just minutes of each other. air france flight 293 was traveling from tokyo to paris. 323 people onboard. the airline contends north korea's missile test zones don't interfere with its flight paths. however, the pentagon has expressed concern over the potential danger a missile could pose to commercial aircraft in the region. >> new developments now. novato high school's principal says there may be a varsity

6:18 am
thousands of people have been sitting in and touching? >> i mean, when you put it that way. >> if this sounds familiar, we have covered the museum in april when it opened for a temporary run in l.a. the only other city it's been in is new york. now the museum confirms its nest pop-up will be on one grant avenue in downtown sf. they say that the popular sprinkle pool will be completely remaged. they do not say if the sprinkles themselves will be replaced. my thought is they're the same old dirty sprinkles from yore. >> do you actually get to eat ice cream? >> i'm sure you can while you're there, right? but it seems like a lot of ice cream props and themed items. >> we'll find out soon because it's supposed to open in september, just in time for my birthday. >> you have never been in the ball pit at chuck e. cheese, have you? >> as a kid, i loved it. as an adult, i'm afraid of staph infections. >> now we know where to take
