Narrative:

Shortly after takeoff at ont we got TCASII TA at less than 1 mi, 12 O'clock (yellow symbol, no altitude). Shortly thereafter, we got an RA. The symbol was red and showed - 01 under our nose (we never saw the target visually). The RA was to climb at maximum rate. We followed TCASII. I asked socal departure if they had seen the target. They said they had nothing on their radar.
