Wow. This is the extent of the news update. Welcome to the new world of hi-tech journalism. I expected a bit more verbosity to say the least. Not your father's news service. It may be pithy and succinct and I suppose, reluctantly, the format does work but only in certain specific situations. I emphatically wouldn't want this venue as my only news source.

I neglected to say that this so-called aviation expert has zero credibility. I remember the cockamamie explanations for TWA flight 800 about sparks in the tank causing the explosion. It was a missile. That’s what people saw. That’s what it was. Just like in this case.

So how many jets today use solid propellant and show a flame white exhaust?

Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Robert Ellsworth, who is also a former Deputy Secretary of Defense, started this by calling it a “big missile”.

I wonder if this “top aviation journalist” knows that missiles leave contrails too...

My thought exactly!
This is beyond retarded. It was obviously an SLBM test, and they don't wanna talk about it. Even the NOTAM pegged the location, which was consistent with the video.
Not shocked that it's a journalism major saying the silly stuff...

I haven’t followed this in detail—but could it have been a shoulder fired missile from a terrorist aimed at a plane?
That sounds like something the administration would cover up after a nanosecond of debate.

It's moving much too slow to be a missile IMO. Most likely a contrail from an aircraft at a very high altitude.
There's lots of important issues to be concerned about. This isn't one of them but it is a sign of how jumpy everyone is.

Looks like a plane contrail to me. Missile launches move fast, even at 30 miles away. This just hangs for a long time like a subsonic plane.
The ‘true believers’ won’t believe anything less than it was some sort of horrific attack or a show of force by us though, no matter the evidence now.

Precisely. The reliance on some so-called eye witness as a reputable, authoritative source for news is specious to say the least.

Yep, TWA 800 was my first thought too. I never was real comfortable with the idea of running electrical lines inside fuel tanks, but WTH, that just me.
So, this was just a jet, nothing to worry about here! Just move along comrade.
BOHICA!
