Don’t tease me like that.

Missile launch, probably spiraling out of control near the end. Some of the videos show still shots that are unmistakably missile contrails, twisted by upper atmosphere wind.

Saw plenty of launches over the years from Vandenburg, and a lot of really weird effects once the got out of the lower atmosphere.

That green light is often seen in launches, usually looks like a jet of gas slowly extending away from the spot it started. Us "launch watchers" have an email notification system for upcoming Vandenburg launches, and saw most of them.

No one seemed to know what the green glow was, but we all saw it several times.

Reminds me of a comment a friend made after seeing what the sky looked like after a spectacular late evening test launch at Vandenburg.

“You will be happy to know that the end of the world will be accompanied by beautiful sunsets.”

Was anyone abducted? :-)

No, just Algore’s replacement being delivered.

"In many parts of the world, the family is under siege. It is opposed by an anti-life mentality as is seen in contraception, abortion, infanticide and euthanasia. It is scorned and banalized by pornography, desecrated by fornication and adultery, mocked by homosexuality, sabotaged by irregular unions and cut in two by divorce."

The result has been a new generation of WTFers whose discourse adds to demeaning the product of family units.

A bright ignition phase blossoms outward as it gains altitude. The boost phase involves the spinning control vanes to produce the pretty spirals. The spirals are produced by the early morning light passing through ice crystals that reflect light brilliantly high up in the atmosphere. They report greenish blue light at the center of the spiral at some point. Remember, it's still nearly dark on the ground. Water under sunlight always reflects back greenish blue bandwidth light. Evidence the color of the ocean under direct sunlight.

The most telling pictures are the contrails left behind after the missile passes over. Most of the Youtube nonsense vids cut this section out to make this look U a Foolish & ETish.

thanks,

According to the Norwegian military the Russians have admitted a rocket launch.

Notice the still images are very clean and clear and taken from various spots. But its not so clear from the video footage. It would be very suspicious if all those pictures were given to one newsource to release. If thats so, then I’m willing to bet its a hoax

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a Russian effort to beat our missile defense technology. A spiraling target is undoubtedly much harder to shoot down.

Was the USS Nimitz nearby?

[derekr44]

Nah....just the sun reflecting off some swamp gas

Awesome

[GOPJ]

I’ll check it out...

How timely of the Russians to launch an ICBM over the nobel peace prize gathering ... very peaceful, very calm, how assuring!

No matter, zero will unilaterally disband the US nuclear deterrent. Zero won’t even test his handkerchief if he suspects it may offend someone.
