I've watched it several times and do not share your complete skeptisism. This object appears and then it becomes flight AAL612 according to PASSUR!
Let me ask you a few questions:
Do you have any vested interest one way or the other what this object is or is not?
Do you believe beyond a reasonable doubt this cannot be a missle?
Do you deny that according to PASSUR this object appears in front of AAL612 when AAL612 is over 6000ft altitude?
Do you deny that PASSUR identifies this object as AAL612, but at an altitude of 1500ft, at this point in time?
Do you deny that PASSUR has this NEW object actually becoming AAL612 a few seconds after what appears to be a cross-over (or a couple or 3 cross overs) and that the originally tracked AAL612 out of LAX is lost?
Do you believe this object seen by PASSUR is a ghost object as defined in your post 46?
I suppose I do. I fly out of LAX regularly, and my aircraft is a much bigger target than AA 612. If I thought there was a threat of being shot at, I'd want to know. I've got a wife and two kids and a lot to live for. Fortunately, I've got enough practical knowledge of this stuff to see right through the BS spread by the likes of Jack Cashill. The man is a conman who makes a living off of other people's fear and ignorance. He is a fraud.
"Do you believe beyond a reasonable doubt this cannot be a missle?"
I would bet everything I own that what you are looking at on the PASSUR display is not a missile. I have absolutely no doubt that it is not a missile.
"Do you deny that according to PASSUR this object appears in front of AAL612 when AAL612 is over 6000ft altitude?"
You still don't understand what you are looking at. PASSUR cannot display anything real that doesn't have a transponder. In other words, if there really was something there, it had to have an IFF transmitter on board that was sending exactly the same codes as AA612. The company that created this system explains exactly what you are seeing here. It is a ghost image. It is not real.
"Do you deny that PASSUR identifies this object as AAL612, but at an altitude of 1500ft, at this point in time?"
As I have stated earlier, PASSUR does not identify anything. It merely reports information it is sent.
"Do you deny that PASSUR has this NEW object actually becoming AAL612 a few seconds after what appears to be a cross-over (or a couple or 3 cross overs) and that the originally tracked AAL612 out of LAX is lost?"
That is because the "new" object actually is a ghost image of AA612. It doesn't exist.
"Do you believe this object seen by PASSUR is a ghost object as defined in your post 46?"
Not even a doubt in my mind.
