“This “reached out” phrase needs to die.

Unless it’s to choke a democrat.

Parts of that are right, parts wrong. ICBMs (Minuteman IIIs) never achieve escape velocity so they are incapable of going into "outer space".

Test launches that go outside the Western Test Range safety envelope are destroyed intentionally.

The truth is out there.

Looks similar to the Aurora Borealis as seen in Alaska.

Lol!.... Strange Encounters!

"..This “reached out” phrase needs to die.."

Yes.. YES!! And quickly.

With a l'il luck, mebbe the "yeah barrage" will follow suit! **wishful thinking** d;^)

[txhurl]

I see who you are, now ;)

[WalterSkinner]

..that’s missile exhaust—maybe Vandenberg...

[TaMoDee]

You may have a “Bingo!”.

My first thought that McCain finally had croaked and mistakenly went “up”. The mysterious cloud was St. Peter heaving him back in the direction of where he’ll spend eternity.

This “reached out” phrase needs to die.

I cringe whenever it's used, even though I sometimes use it. It's the language of the herd and they moo when they hear it. :-)

[Bonemaker]

Heaving as in throwing up.

Someone cracked a window to de gasify a Qantas jet before landing in LA after one of those 15 hour flights

Dry cleaning bags filled with marsh gas.

Ah, I see I am not alone in my loathing for that insipid usage.

“I will show him this story and ask if this was what he saw.”

Please ping us all when you get an answer. Day or night, I don’t care.

[originalbuckeye]

I get it. You’re not interested at all. No worries.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

You already have an answer. This is from

“MISSILE FUMES OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: Yesterday evening, March 26th, sky watchers in southern California were surprised when they saw swirls of colorful gas looping through the sunset sky. “This colorful cloud, the kind we usually see after a rocket launch, was visible from our home near Joshua Tree National Park,” reports Cathleen Armstrong of Pioneertown CA. “We rushed outside without a tripod and shot this image before the light faded entirely.””

More pictures of the event (At least today, 8/27/18).

Other interesting stuff too.

I agree. Whatever happened to "contact them?"
