Just spoke with old friend, very senior retired USAF general officer/pilot. Says his contacts, many of whom were his "boys," have no idea what Pacific missile is/was
As I was calling him, he was calling me to run my old network traps to see if anyone at the network desks in NY or DC have any idea what this was!
Data from video seems to be that it was large, ballistic, (not cruise) sub-launched. Course seemed to be trans-polar, so could have impacted in Arctic, Russian Far East, China, etc.
Current guesses... and these are wild guesses (some from the O Club at his lunch)
1: Crazy Russian or Chinese sub captain. No explosion because they didn't want one, or captain did not have correct codes for the PAL.
2: Islamic.......... ????? Demonstration?????
3: Hoax... but that seems way to far fetched.
Navy is also supposedly bat sh*t over this because there was no acoustic detection of sub!
NORAD scratching head ????
There may be an explanation, but no one knows what it was... or is!
That might make it a hobby-rocket. A big one.
Did you know the word “gullible” isn’t in the dictionary?
True story.
Don’t ask — and don’t tell!
I’ll mention my earlier crackpot notion, and hope someone wants to shoot it down: someone (meaning our Fool in Chief) wanted to play Commander in Chief and see if he could order a launch...
Our lenders may just be reminding him that he shouldn't talk out of turn and simply read from the script provided. A poignant way of saying, “Don't get creative.”
If so, the shirtless picture of him pushing the button will show up soon.
What I’d really like to know is why they’re so freely admitting they don’t know $#!+.
I agree with Mindbender - they know exactly who launched this missile.
Anybody got any bright ideas?

The Pentagon is so FUBAR with repealing DADT, that they can’t tell a strange missile from a hole in the ground.
Meanwhile FUBO is over in his home country getting in touch with his gay nanny.
God help us.
Don't bet that we don't know more than we're saying....It's good for the enemy to be kept guessing.
They didn't. They chose the Huh? scenario.
Ain’t no such thing as an SLBM-carrying Kilo.
“Chinese showing us their subs cannot be detected
and are ready to shoot.
Mad about India.”
Yeah. They lend us money to buy their stuff, and with a little leftover money we buy our fuel from our islamic enemies.
China signaling, get in line.
Hmmm, reminds me of the plane that was taken down here on Long Island.....Flight 800.
US Missile, my guess.
Course, we’ll see what the geek squad brings regarding speed, rate of climb, exhaust signature, etc., etc.
They oughta be able to get that profile down pretty close, with that extensive video.
If it was sub-launched, and we did not detect the sub’s presence, we are in deep, deep doo-doo. IMHO
I seem to recall that part of the money that was found to the multi-billion teacher bailout was cutting Coast Guard funding. Am I wrong?
The biggest threat is the islamic in the white hut and ALL of TV which supports him.
He is selling and harming our troops out more than a Russian sub captain.
I’ve never seen a hobby rocket with that long a boost phase.
