Exploding the That Wasnt A Missile Myth
By Gargantua
What appeared to be a missile rose from below the horizon, streaking into the sky off of California leaving a condensation trail identical to the kind that have been filmed being left by a ground-or-sea-to-air launch of a Minuteman missile or ICBM.
First, the Government was inexplicably mum on the topic. Next came a series of sometimes contradictory explanations. Now, days after the event, the finally agreed-upon explanation hits every news station all at once. Its the con-trail of a jet returning from across the Pacific.
There are two glaring problems with this obviously false explanation.
First, the shape and density of the con-trail.
A missile launch would be more dense and wide at its base, just as we see in the images weve been shown. A jets con-trail would be thinner and smaller the further away as it trailed off toward the horizon. We see the opposite in the availale video footage.
Second, the lighting.
In the video footage, we see stratus clouds out over the ocean behind the rising missile. The setting sun is shining on, and illuminating, the bottom of those clouds. On the con-trail, however, the illumination from the sun appears on the right-hand-edge; just as it would if this were a launching missiles vertically rising con-trail. There is no illumination of the underside of the jets horizontally oriented con-trail because it is not a jets con-trail, it is a vertically-oriented missiles launch contrail with the sun lighting up the side away from us. Very obviously so.
The Government must think we are at least as stupid as they are if they think this lame explanation is going to fly.

Please ignore my post 36. A liberal that can’t read commandeered my keyboard. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!

Robroy, the great expert on all things that fly.
How’s that WH job these days?
Clogging up the internet with propaganda.
Problem is we can see the exhaust from the engine or rocket motor. Which BTW is not possible for an aircraft heading towards the camera.

You cite the World Socialist Website for a source? I guess I missed the sarcasm tag...
And there was a flight in that area at the time.

"Many of them would certainly have filmed or photographed it." I guess you missed the video we're discussing? The "witnesses" did "film" it, and that "film" is what we're discussing. Lay off the Ny-Quil, you'll be much sharper. I promise.

Stick to it! It holds as much water as your errant contrail hypothesis.

Many of the airline pilots and ship captains in the area filmed it? Cool! Can’t wait to hear from them. They will certainly know a contrail when they see one. :-)

"Im not exactly sure what the government is supposed to be hiding here." As a hypothetical? What if that was a dummy missile launched as a chest-thumping demonstration by a Chinese nuclear sub off the coast of California? I'm not positing that that's what it was, just laying out one answer to what I balieve was your question... why would the Government want to lie about its being a missile.
That's one reason they'd want to lie, and there are at least a hundred others that I could come up with.

Expert Thinks "Mystery Missile" an IllusionThe FAA told CBS News that they ran radar replays of a large area west of Los Angeles based on media reports of the location of a possible missile launch, but they did not reveal any fast moving unidentified targets in that area. The FAA also did not receive any reports of any unusual sightings from pilots in the area.

In this photo, it looks like it is lit from the underside, as you would expect from a contrail.

Not too many witnesses 35 miles out at sea, off the California coast.

He must work for the IPCC too.
Even some experts are idiots. On their own subject. It also depends on the context in which the info is presented to them. He may not be an idiot, but was merely set up.
If someone had shown me this video with no preconceived notions, my first reaction would have been that it looks like an airplane contrail - or maybe a missile, depending on the context.
For me to even seriously entertain the idea that it is a missile launch, I’d need more evidence (not mere opinion) than just the video and stills I’ve seen. So far, there is none. Based on the evidence at our disposal, “airplane contrail” wins in a landslide.
Now, if more EVIDENCE presents itself...well, that’s different.

Threads like these are important in identifying the unhinged amongst us.

This is getting as weird as moon landing conspiracy nonsense.
It's an aircraft contrail.
I'm a private pilot that has flown off and on all over SoCal since the mid eighties, LA airspace and Catalina island included. Suffice it to say I am well versed in observing the weather around here and many actual rocket launches out of Vandenberg. I am also an aerospace nut with eyes skyward at humdrum aicraft when everyone else could care less. I've seen this kind of phenonmenon before.Believe me I know, it can look like a rocket, I too have looked twice at such things before. I'm not in a pissing contest here, it's just overwhelming now it's an aircraft contrail illusion.
