The only way this does make sense was if this was supposed to be a simulated launch and the whole command crew on that sub screwed up and I’m not buying that one either.

The only way you get into the difficulty at all, is by rejecting any explanation other than the one saying it was a missile.

But the fact remains that there is a much simpler explanation -- a mundane one, alas -- for which there is supporting data, in terms of timing, location, and visual signature.

It was a contrail, FRiend. You can go outside some afternoon and watch any number of similar "missile launches" pass overhead as airliners and cargo jets wing their way to their destinations at high altitude.

Well that contrail has fooled a lot of ‘experts.’
