Actually, it is now a very old and well explained story. It was an a/c, America West/USAirlines flight 808, Hawaii to Phoenix.

#1: Photographer who took video said in broadcast interview that he had seen it repeatedly, even the last time he was flying, a week earlier.

#2: Numerous pleasure and commercial boats in area heard nothing. Rockets are very loud. Shuttle launch wakes us, 55 miles from Cape.

#3; Look carefully, plume is not coming from glow area, but a bit behind it. Obvious in high quality videos.

#4: Glow is actually setting sun glowing off polished aluminum lower wings of a/c. Color temperature is clue here.

#5: Multiple commercial pilots, especially those who fly west out of LAX, SFO, SEA and others, see this regularly at sunset, and so reported.

#6: Plume is actually expanding contrail.

#7: Any launch would have been very quickly seen by IR DSP satellites in high orbit.

False alarm. There are many.

For the people who quote Contrails “Science” as their source for “debunking” the missile launch here’s interesting background on Contrail Science’s Mick (Mike or Michael) West’s history:

Here’s another one of Mick/Mike/Michael West’s websites:

So what is Mick/Mike/Michael’s agenda? Is he a scientist, a computer programmer, a doctor, a pilot?

I agree. Unfortunately the news helo cameraman was simply fooled by the perspective on the airliner contrail.

The following LAX airport webcam still shows the contrail heading for the coast and not away as the cameraman stated.
