The Outer Limits episode was filmed in 1963, so the footage
is probably older than the episode. "Regulus II" is the
best guess I have, but there were so many bizarre test
missiles back then that I don't feel certain.

I think it might be a Snark missile. There were so many lost off the coast
of Florida during testing that the area around the cape was called "Snark
infested waters". I don't have any Snark missile photos, but if you Google
a search for them, you will see the large boosters "JATO type" bottles used
to get it up off the ground.
