So, you're not going to make a wild guess as to how many times I heard a sonic boom then, eh?

Instead, you nervously laugh it off in attempts to ridicule me with stuff and nonsense about alien probes,

In other words, you've never seen a missile launch, have you? In fact, you're so ignorant about them that you think they neccessarily come with sonic booms!!!!!

Let's say YOU are a person with wide experience in seafaring, and you saw a lot of landlubbers being convinced that a rowboat on the horizon could be seen from 20 miles away. Let's say I was one of those landlubbers who, although I had never been on a boat in the ocean in my life, was convinced that I knew BETTER than you, who had been on a boat plenty of times and knew quite well that at a distance of maybe four miles, the rowboat would disappear at the curvature of the earth ... and yet lops with zero empirical experience but who believed "scientific" post after post, loaded with theorems and graphs and overlays and photos to "prove" that the boat could be seen 20 miles away from another boat on the horizon, were blowing you off as a kook and nut for not understanding "the obvious." What would you think of me if I told you you were full of sh*t, that the boat COULD be seen at 20 miles?

Keep talking about aliens. It's all you've got.

No, I'm not. Why? I don't care.

I'm not "nervously laughing". I'm hysterically laughing. I'm sorry you can't tell the difference.

"In other words, you've never seen a missile launch, have you? "

No, I haven't seen "a" missile launch. I've seen innumerable missile launches. I was a dependent child who lived at Point Mugu - twice. And later, I was a service member who was stationed at Point Mugu.

You think a ballistic missile was launched from an area just off the coast of some of the most densely populated area of the country, and in waters that are some of the most recreationally and commercially traversed waters in the world, and yet NO ONE saw a thing, except for a CBS helicopter news camera. It's facially absurd.

The North/South maritime navigation lanes are EXACTLY 35-miles off the California coast, and yet not a single maritime vessel - crewed with professionally trained observers with a visual horizon exceeding 20-miles, reported to the US Coast Guard ANY unusual event - you know, like a ICBM breaching the water surface and accelerating to supersonic speeds in seconds after launch - cause you know - that wouldn't get anyone's attention who might have been actively surveilling the horizon.

Please, don't respond. I can't suffer anymore of your idiocy.
