Question: "Amber Time" reference in a Minuteman III Test Short Film

A few months ago, Peter Kuran (atomcentral) posted a restored short film from I'm assuming the 1970's that outlines the process of randomly pulling Minuteman III missiles on alert and testing them at Vandenberg. At 18:20 in the video after launch, someone calls "amber time" over the comms loop.
If anyone knows what that means, or can infer what they are referencing, my curious mind would appreciate it, lol.
Thank you for your time.
