In all likelyhood it was a bomb. Looked like a 500lb Mk82 to me. They do have those "for training", but the USAF doesn't use those for training. Not sure what the Navy uses for bomb training. We use the smoke bombs that drop like the real thing. They're a little over a foot long and weigh under 10lbs, smoke comes from a cartridge that looks like a shotgun shell. 
One way to tell for sure is to look around the nose. A live bomb will always have a yellow or red ring within 6 inches of the front.
Thanks for posting that man.
