>>That car is traveling uphill and the contrail goes behind a relatively close tall mountain. <<

Excellent point. So, what do you think of the picture above it in the same post? And the ancient article...

Looks like there’s been a bunch o’ them eeevil missile launches right under our noses, for quite a while. It’s about time they got exposed!

We see those strange contrails here in So Cal about once every year or two. Usually they are explained rather quickly as a rocket launch from Vandenburg. And every one says, oh, and we go about our business. The media reaction and Government reaction to this one was quite different. That would naturally raise some eyebrows. Have to investigate that first picture more closely. Its date is not the same as the date reported. Image info states January 2010, not last September. Would like to see a link to the original web story or news article. Need to know the exact date, time and location taken. And what land is that off in the distance ? Catalina Island ?

Found the source for that top image. Even have the persons name who took it. Was taken New Years Eve December 31st 2009. Not last September. Taken by Loretta Rieger.

Rocket launch or contrail offshore: Answer, contrail

The above article and opinion is from a Weather Examiner.

We also have a short video taken by Blaine Reiger in the report below.

Mystery deepens with video of ‘launch’ off O.C.

The opinion there was that we do not know what it was. By a Science Editor for the OC Register. So we apparently have seen these events twice in the past year, at least. And apparently this issue remained unresolved back in January and it did not get national attention back then. No conclusive proof that it was NOT a missile back on December 31st. Only speculation. And that does appear to be Catalina Island.
