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.
;-\
The problem is that there was a similar contrail in the same spot in the sky yesterday evening, yet no mention of it anywhere on the news.
IOW, it was a jet, not a missile.
At least so far this isn't like an aircraft accident where any sort of automatic investigation is triggered. So witnesses will have to come forward individually. Those that do will be told they are crazy and given forced mental examinations. Do you want to go first?

They're lying! It's a conspiracy, man!
The problem is that they (gov’t) did not launch the missile. They do not want the sheeple to be scared so they just lie about it. Pilots who report unusual things that the gov’t doesn’t want discussed suddelnly find their health and sanity called into question and their flight staus revoked by the FAA (gov’t).
My 3rd cousins college roommates moose-bitten sister wrote on her Facebook that her Uncle Freddy tweeted he saw it and its for real a plane - it was right after someone moved his cheese while he was in the shower and his beeber was in the shop from too much stunning. And he was logged in too.
There are no lights on this object in the twilight which would show up. ...the contrail is under the one, meaning it is lower and can not have formed a contrail and the other is above the sirus cloud formation meaning this plume is gaining altitude, which jets do not do as sirus are high cloud formations.
This is a missile with one very large rocket propelling it as it arcs in sways guided by it's gyroscope on course. This is not Space Shuttle quality or American quality guidance. This is a foreign missile.
What is the problem America is the US warning systems did not detect the mother craft whether it was a submarine or dump craft (something offloaded from a cargo ship and used as a platform to launch the missile later). In the old days, Americans used to pick up crawl tracks off California which were made by Soviets launching underwater tanks doing all sorts of war provoking things America tried to ignore so not to start a nuclear war.
NORAD did not detect this system, and NORAD did not detect the launch, nor have an ability to track it.
Well the Pentagon doesn’t what it was, I’m glad you do. Thanks, I feel better already.
The author only discussed two things wrong with the report and neglected the third and most obvious;
#3. It is a lie!!!
Yesterday I was convinced it was a missile launch.
Then somewhere today I read that the CBS helicopter camera man filmed this for 10 minutes.
A jet would certainly remain in view for ten minutes, but would a missile launch? I don’t know the answer to that, but I doubt it.
Ditto.
>>Problem is we can see the exhaust from the engine or rocket motor. <<
I’ve seen that on multiple occasions. it’s the sun reflecting off the belly of the plane. I’ve seen it when there is NO contrail, but they are harder to spot, for obvious reasons.
If you knew my background here, you would not have made the tongue in cheek comments preceding that one, btw. Just because someone disagrees with you and can articulate their position, it does not make them part of a conspiracy.
Then again, who in Obama’s admin has proven they can effectively articulate their position? ;)
Easy for you to say, you heartless SOB! But what of the woodland toad? Hmmmm?!

Dang... I dun been found out! ;-)

In that case then the furthest west point of the contrail would be the last part to fall into shadow.
As you can see there the "farthest west," or bottom, of the contrail is the first to fall into shadow. It also passes in front of a line of clouds in the distance. If it were an airplane at 30k ft coming from the horizon it would pass over that relatively near and low line of clouds.
Thank you for your loyalty to the cause. I’ll make sure you are properly rewarded when the Trilateral Commission authorizes me to distribute my warehouse full of orange money. ;)
Got to go now, flying my black helicopter off to meet with Henry Kissinger and the Queen of England about that latest shipment of cocaine from the CIA.
Methinks thou dost protest too much...
If you're actually not part of the G-Man Cover-up Cabal, why are you getting all screechy over this? That's just what a Company mole would say!

Regarding the whole China aspect of this:
China could put a shot across our bow by not buying bonds for one auction. Or by selling gold in a large amount quietly in the Swiss Market.
I know this may come as a surprise to a lot of people (not directing this to YOU specifically) but China is not going to take over the world with arms, but with our dollars.
There strategic moves will come in the boardroom, not the war room.
My ex-husband said that it was ME on my broom.
I need some evidence that the editor of Jane’s was duped as you suggest.
