Those wascally Chinese missiles just keep showing up.
Here we have a screen cap from the 1983 feature film "Blue Thunder," in which we discover evidence that the Chinese who (according to numerous Internet experts and many "military" friends-of-friends-of-friends) launched a missile off of the Los Angeles coast last November DID THE SAME THING 27 YEARS AGO!!! During the filing of a major Hollywood film!
Approximately the same local time and general location within Los Angeles and taking very much the same trajectory. And just look at that missile plume! It's most definitely a missile.
Oh wait a second...
Maybe the loan shark chinese want their money back
All this shows me, is that the threat is pervasive and persistant.
This does not look like a missile plume. If it was way more likely that it comes from point Magu naval weapons station, or from up north at Vandenberg. I dont buy it.
That plume is sort of bent, kind of.
I’ll bet that is a missile of type “Clinteun Dong”, a forerunner of the modern “Taepo Dong” which if memory serves is the kind of missile launched off of california earlier this year.
The “Taepo Dong” plume is fatter than the Clintoon Dong plume, and much straighter.
Where does the “Jahniwad Dong” missile class fit in? If I remember correctly, its west coast plume is skinnier than the Taepo Dong and the Clinteun Dong, but much longer.
LOL I loved that movie. Roy Schneider’s most underrated role.
You must have looked far and wide for that photo.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure if any of the true believers will get the joke.
It was cool because you could watch girls stripping from the helicopter
lol
Clinton Dong and bent in the same breath. I remember that story.
I would like the Chinese Missile true believers to watch "Blue Thunder" and consider why their "missile plume" appears at roughly the same time of day, in the same location, and is taking the same course back in 1983.
2010: What’s the G2? Sub launched? What’s the best guess?
yeah, but the girls will be in multi-color red and yellow.
All it tells me is that Vandenberg Air Force Base looks quite close to LA from 6000 feet.
LMAO!
8^D
Pfft. Everyone knows that’s just swamp gas reflecting off of Venus...or something.
Looks like a smoke stack. LA used to have industry.
Maybe the Chinese are just checking to see if we are still paying attention.
