Wow. Thank you for that video. Entire flight time until burnout, less than 2 minutes. Both the spiraling and the way the flameout (ehxausetd fuel burnout) display so clearly here shows that this is definitely a missile. If that glow was the "sun reflecting off the fuselage," it would have kept reflecting instead of going dark (burning out) at precisely the same moment that the "contrail" stops (when the solid or liquid fuel propellant runs out).

Thank you so much for now posting this. I've downloaded it and will start the forensic examination immediately.

It's a missile, folks.

Doggone! I figured you had already seen all the video and pics available. You're welcome and I'm sorry I didn't link it earlier.

A point I made before is that the apparent distance in the sky covered in the time frame of the flight would be tremendously long if it were a plane flying parallel to the earth. That would indicate a rate of flight far above the capability of a commercial jet.

However, a vertical flight would cover more of the sky more quickly even without factoring in the much faster air speed of a missile.

Entire flight time until burnout, less than 2 minutes.

The video that has been made available is only excerpts of a 9 or 10 minute film. There's no way to prove the "entire flight time" from the edited/excerpted video available.

On the contrary, the cameraman stated,

"I saw a big plume coming up, rising from looked like beyond the horizon and it continued to grow," Leyvas said.

He zoomed his camera in and stayed on it for about 10 minutes. To him it looked like an incoming missile.

"It was unique. It was moving," he said. "It was growing in the sky."

If anyone can prove from the cameraman's statements that

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

then the debate is over. But that cannot be proven from the edited/excerpted 1 to 2 minutes of video from the 9 to 10 minutes of video shot by the cameraman.
