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!

It has been determined that it was an SLBM launch by the Burkina Faso Navy to intimidate the United States into removing MSNBC from relay satellites beaming to Africa.

We have kids dyding 6,000 miles away because the US Govt, intel and Penatgon has been infiltrated by Islamics and we cannot protect the border. Meanwhile we can spend tens of billiosn on weapons systems to keep union factory line scum who voted for the muslim employed at UTX, Raytheon, Martin Marietta, Lockheed, Boeing.

Maybe they were ordered to. Create a crisis to make the senate sign the START treaty during the lame duck session?

I’m no expert, but subs can hide under floating vessels, near the sea bottom, or even blend in with whales.

On the other hand ...

OldMissileer: “That is a sub launched ballistic missile and it looks as if its’ trajectory was taking it toward Kwajalein Atoll where we target our western test launches.”

But if it was a test goof-up, the delay on an official confession is strange.

Is a secret something from Vandenburg AFB too far off? It was right off the coast.

And if the British/French/Chinese/Russians (the only folks, besides us, who can launch an SLBM) did this, every hull in San Diego would be at sea chasing down the sub and every Navy/Marine aircraft in Southern California would be over the Pacific looking doing the same thing.

You forget that they all report to Obama... the "what, me worry?" president.

Correct. The only missiles a Kilo can carry are SA-N-8 or SA-N-10 missiles for self defense.

Definitely not a hoax, and doesn’t appear to be an optical illusion (sunset contrail).

It was most certainly picked up by satellite, and being on the west coast, the Beale UEWR might have tracked it and if so, within a short amount of time provided the predicted impact point (if not an orbital trajectory). I say might due to the proximity of the trajectory and angle.

They ain’t talkin’ because they don’t want to.
