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.

Guys n gals, it was an airplane contrail.

Honestly.

The interesting thing is, during the next 5 days, the next one might not be just a contrail, but this ain't the Tipping Point. When destruction comes from the sky, it's going to be solar in nature, not chemical.

Relax. Go get some cash out of the ATM. Buy extra food. Get water filtration capability. Buy an extra box of ammo. Read a Bible verse.

But this ain't Defcon 4.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Top Aviation Journalist Is 100% Convinced That The "Missile" Was A Jet

Perhaps the tried and true "swamp gas" would be a better play.

[CodeToad]

Twitter is hardly “BREAKING NEWS”.

[Conan the Conservative]

I have conclusive proof that it was a North Korean missile. Who else could miss an entire continent from 35 miles away?

NOTAM Request for Accountability or Location: KZLA and NOTAM Number: A2832/10

The NOTAM does not exist.

FAA removed NOTAM, You SEE nothing, there is nothing here for you move along.

For those having trouble parsing the NOTAM, the times are GMT for noon today through tomorrow evening. If there were surface combatants in the area that could certainly be the source of the missile, and the fact that the Pentagon is still saying “Uh, we don't think it was us” would seem to indicate it wasn't a planned launch for daylight hours.

You expected more verbosity? Its a freakin' twitter!

I watched the videos, and I was 100% convinced that it was NOT a jet contrail, but some sort of missle launch.

Until I read this website: Contrailscience.com

It was a jet. Case closed.

[Sprite518]

Twitter Breaking news is highly suspect. Lots of Libs/Socialist/Communist trying to generate false news. Just be careful with it.

At any rate... Just look at the video. There is no question its some type of rocket/missile and not an airplane. LOL!

[Ronald_Magnus]

Jet, exhaust, sunlight, wind, and temperature. All can make for one heck of an optical illusion. That is what I believe it was.
