Even though the CBS affiliate reported the cameraman observed the contrail for ten minutes, there’s no way to know how much of that time the aircraft that created the contrail was in sight, unless someone could specifically ask him. The Department of Defense seized the tape for analysis. Only about a minute of the flight is seen online. If that minute represented the entire flight time, and the other nine minutes was simply filming the leftover contrail, its still possible it was a missile.
But without further clarification, its likely he observed the craft for ten minutes.
WHAT??!! Why would they do that if this were just a jet contrail?!
THAT settles it. It was a Chinese sub-launched missile. Or Russky. It was NOT a jet contrail, not if the DOD siezed the tape! WHat the f___ is wrong with you people?!

The missile rose from the surface of the ocean, 35 miles away, from over the horizon, going straight up, for one minute. Then the smoke remained in the sky for 8 more minutes but the missile had disappeared out of sight, heading to the north west...
