But Gil is adamant that the object was only in view for 2 to 3 minutes. That threw a monkey wrench in proving my hypothesis, so in my hypothesis the missile theory is not ruled out regardless of the other hypotheses.

Thanks for the additional information you uncovered. So when they stated they were on the object for 10 minutes, that probably meant they got clearance to cover the object from their home base for 10 minutes. They apparently contacted the base right away. By any chance did you get any actual time stamps for any of the videos (ie - exactly when they were taken). To date all we have is around 5:15 pm.

Only one person EVER stated that Gil Leyvas "observed" the phenomema for ten minutes and that was a CBS writer who ad-libbed the comment. He did not quote anyone.

People keep stating it as fact that Gil Leyvas said he taped it for ten minutes when that is false. The same people who say nothing coming from CBS can be trusted. Yet they use that editorial comment made by a CBS staff writer as "fact" and "evidence."
