http://www.youtube.com/user/Epoxynous#p/a/u/1/rkZE3GrnnpwGil Leyvas said that KCBS owns the rights to the video footage, and probably still has the unedited ten minutes of video available on their server.The available footage and photos originally supplied by CBS of the "Mystery Missile" UPS902 contrail, arranged in chronological order.
This is NOT how it was broadcast - the "raw footage" was heavily edited for dramatic effect. You can see where the missile is in relation to the clouds.
Judging by the final 30 seconds of this video, I would have to revise my statement above, "
"I'm not sure Gil witnessed the subsequent views captured by Rick Warren's photos and overlayed by contrailscience.com"
Obviously he did see the object at the very top of the last photo images captured by Rick Warren, yet he still maintains the object only remained in view for 2-3 minutes total.
Dr, Kopp: are you reporting that Gil said he only had the object that separated from the "plume" in view for only 2-3 mnutes?
Or, or you implying that his entire taped sequence was only 2-3 minutes in duration?
Thank you for having the initiative to contact Leyvas directly, and for sharing his comment with us -- and TIA for helping clear up the above question!
