....unfortunately we've got a ton of whacked out conspiracy-theorist goofballs posting here.

There it is, right on cue.

Interesting! What does he say was the reaction of the fleet when that happened? Did the brown shoe Navy suddenly become the brown trowsered Navy?

No Chinese or anyone else’s sub could ever get that close to our shore, much less launch a missile.

Why do you say that Admiral Kimmel?

Like spending the day watching people step on a wet tarp at the top of a hill. Once you start down that road how do you stop? /just plain silly

I still vote contrail. The simplest solution is usually correct.

Sure. That chest pain is always heartburn, not a heart attack, right?

Absolute nonsense. No Chinese or anyone else’s sub could ever get that close to our shore, much less launch a missile.

Yahoo search results for “Russia” “subs” “east coast”.

Is there something upsetting about looking for the truth?

I want to see a timeline of events like when the 787 test aircraft had a fire, when the Carnival ship had its fire, how many people may have fried cell phones on that ship, any other vessels that had electronic damages.

Really I would love to see if any of this was connected in any remote possibility, or it just being a coincidence.

If it were a Chinese missle, they would be crowing about it. Also, no missle travels that slowly.

. No Chinese or anyone else’s sub could ever get that close to our shore,

Those words (Japanese for Chinese) were uttered on December 6-7, 1941.

Wake up man!

So, what's so complex about a sub-launched missile?

I don't know... there are just too many unexplained things about this for me to sign on to the contrail explanation. What commercial jet leaves a contrail like that, 35 miles offshore?

I grew up under the flight path to LAX, and this just doesn't compute to me. Where are the contrails of all the other jets that ought to have shown up in that video?

Then there's the unavoidable coincidence of Zero being on his Far East tour when this happened, right after getting an historic azz kicking in the November elections, AND in the same week that the Fed is threatening to implement QE2?

There are just too many incidents and developments of major international importance that intersect at the precise moment of that mystery, for me to ignore.

I'm sure if it was a missile, commercial air traffic control radar would know about it and Russian satellites watching us would definitely know about it.

Instead, we have no air traffic controller reporting anything and the Russians weren't sounding alarms. So, it was probably the contrail of a commercial jet.

There is something in the air along much of the coast of California. If you look at the elections results by county you will see that there is a direct collation with the coast and moonbats that voted for Jerry Brown. Along with the curvature of the earth and sunset it can cause people to see things that are not really there. I have sat on the beach and have watched contrails turn into “WHAT IS THAT”? And yes grunion really to come on the beach in the spring and summer months two to six nights after the full and new moons.

As you observe jet contrails in the sky notice whether you see any deviations from course that aren't obviously wind blowing the contrail around. That is fairly apparent because it usually distorts other aspects of the contrail besides the straightness of it.

There are a couple of bends in this contrail that don't look anything like windblown deviations to me. Especially when the full video is viewed and you can see how short a time it took to lay down what is there.

Commercial aircraft rarely make any noticeable course corrections while flying at altitude.

Considering how fast the government started their disinformation campaign, we will never know the truth.

Let’s see, zero evidence that it is a missile, let alone a Chinese one versus tons of data, logic and plausible reasons that its a contrail.

I go with logic and reason, not with kooks, paranoics and conspiracy losers.

Its a plane, a 757-200, US808 HNL-PHX, just like it was the next day when the same plane, at the same spot made the same kind of contrail.

Case closed, kooks occupy the fringe.....again.....

None. This was NOT an EMP event, but perhaps rather a test.

Have you read "One Second After?" If not, I suggest you do so.

Only the upper command knew what was going on. He said that there was a general alarm, but he didn't find out what really happened until I told him after reading an article on FR!
