I still vote contrail. The simplest solution is usually correct.

Yep. If the government wanted to cover it up, there would be no better way than simply claiming to have launched it themselves.

I am still on the fence as to what it was, but i thought this would add some to the discussion. I am looking for the experts here to convince me one way or the other.

Sure. That chest pain is always heartburn, not a heart attack, right?

So, what's so complex about a sub-launched missile?

I don't know... there are just too many unexplained things about this for me to sign on to the contrail explanation. What commercial jet leaves a contrail like that, 35 miles offshore?

I grew up under the flight path to LAX, and this just doesn't compute to me. Where are the contrails of all the other jets that ought to have shown up in that video?

Then there's the unavoidable coincidence of Zero being on his Far East tour when this happened, right after getting an historic azz kicking in the November elections, AND in the same week that the Fed is threatening to implement QE2?

There are just too many incidents and developments of major international importance that intersect at the precise moment of that mystery, for me to ignore.

I agree, and at any rate it is quite vexing that in this age of “information overload” there should be any question at all, one way or the other.

Think about the video from Channel 2, which was actually a video of the news anchors blabbing about the video playing in the background, of which we only actually saw a few seconds. Then of course there was video of them showing it to what’s-his-name - the old guy, and we saw almost none of this.

What about the raw video? How long was it? If it was a jet contrail, this would be very apparent from a few minutes of continuous tracking. And what about the testimony of the videographer? How much video did he take? How long did he watch? The whole thing is ridiculous and comes very close to a hoax perpetrated by the TV station, if indeed they are sitting on a longer video record, or other evidence, that makes the case clear.

To news people, nothing is real, everything is just a story.
