Where is your proof that there was a F-16 scrambled? Got documentation? I’ve flown from Hawaii to PHX about 50 times, in 757-200 aircraft we come back along that exact path every time.
I worked in the industry have seen dozens of contrails that look just like that. Again, answer me this: Why no ionized gas cloud? In an actual launch there is a glowing gas cloud, easily visible after sunset. Where are the reports of this?
Also, there were many aircraft in the area with LAX, ONT, SNA, LGB and BUR, where are the pilots reporting this launch?
Its contrail, and you have zero proof, and there is piles of proof against you. Such kook-farts from the paranoid crowd.
The F-16 is visible coming in, at altitude, from the right of the video at 46 seconds. Slope.
