If you click on it the same AA flt number is attributed to it, weird.
If you want to swallow what they feed you, go for it. Just don't start that namecalling shit with me.
Difficult to 'cover up' U-boats in that situation.
Uh, no. However, it has NOT been established with any credibility that it was a missile. Even if it were, the administration would be utterly foolish to announce it to the general public. Your odds of dying in an airplane crash, though small, are millions of times more likely than you being shot down by a terrorist missile.
Let me help some of you out here. The "radar" tracks you are seeing are NOT raw radar data. The monitoring system you are using relies on active transponders in each aircraft to generate its radar "picture". In other words, if the aircraft doesn't have a transponder, the radar doesn't see it. The system is called PASSUR. That is an acronym for "Passive Secondary Surveillance Radar". "Passive" means that the "radar" is a receiver only. "Secondary" is a radio signal sent by IFF transponders on board any aircraft flying through a major airport's airspace. The PASSUR "radar" can only read radio signals sent to it. Those signals come from the transponders onboard the aircraft flying through the airspace it monitors. Now here is the key part...missiles do not use IFF transponders. Therefore, it would be IMPOSSIBLE for this system to see a missile. So why would Cashill and WND publish an article like this? Because they are both frauds that make money by pulling the wool over the eyes of people who don't know any better. Cashill is a conman, pure and simple.
If you'd like additional explaination start by reading the "Help" page offered by the monitoring site. You will find the following....
"Aircraft tracking radar, and the software that supports it, while highly reliable, is also complex. Sometimes circumstances can interfere with the signal, causing temporary distortions. For example, you will probably notice that an aircraft flying directly over YOUR AIRPORT may temporarily disappear from the screen and then reappear away from the airport. This is due to the aircraft passing directly over the radar antenna and the temporary loss of signal. You may also notice aircraft icons sometimes dropping off and/or suddenly doing unusual things. This is especially true in the area immediately around YOUR AIRPORT, but could also occur away from the airport as well. These ghost aircraft are due to radar reflections from the high-rise buildings around the airport, and possibly from terrain and meteorological conditions farther away from YOUR AIRPORT."
I suggest you go to the 40 mile zoom.
That craft pops up out of nowhere at 12:54:30 at 2000 ft. By about 12:55:43 gained 200ft. At 12:55:56 it utterly disappears.
Makes no or little forward motion. Most of the motion is the icon shifting forward direction (nose pointing) with abrupt changes.
Strange, to say the least.
Take about swallowing what they feed you. Jack Cashill is feeding you raw sewage with a rusty spoon. If you eat it up due to ignorance than you are just unfortunate. If you choose to believe it despite knowing the reality of the situation, than you are an idiot. Your choice. You can pick your own name.
Prior to AA612 passing over the spot of the plane you are talking about, an object pops up near there at 12:50:00 staying at 1200 feet then goes off radar at 12:50:47.
ROTFLMAO with melancholy.....
Maybe when you are mature enough to stick with discussing the facts and leave out the name calling, we'll talk.
I doubt you're gonna get there.
Your giving fuel to the fire!
Don't you find it just a LITTLE BIT ODD that the only double bogie in the whole segment is EXACTLY the one where the pilot REPORTED seeing something?
I can show you real RADAR loops that have loads of reflections. Sorry to bust your bubble folks, there is no story here, now please move along...lol
If you have a winning argument, you don't need the nasty stuff. You ought phrase sentences properly.
