One expert says he has an answer for a video that appears to show an unexplained missile launch off the Southern California coast - there was no missile.

John Pike of the security analyst group globalsecurity.org said the video shot by a news helicopter owned by KCBS an optical illusion.

Makes sense. Pike in twenty years of work for Concerned Scientists couldn’t see the Soviet Union either.

[EggsAckley]

Here comes the spin.........

[GunningForTheBuddha]

Well now that Joe Biden’s weighed in, I wonder what the real experts think.

[brytlea]

Fine. What flight was it?

[PAR35]

I’m thinking that this belongs under ‘humor’.

[Cicero]

Sorry. Little Green Men would make more sense than that.

[dforest]

I don’t trust experts anymore. Most of them are only experts at lying.

[Da Coyote]

Sure looked like a missile, but the flight path made no sense. Wrong trajectory angle for anything that makes sense.

[buccaneer81]

John Pike says whatever the government wants him to say.

[Paladin2]

Computer Graphics have made great strides over the last few decades.

[TBall]

Can’t wait until someone uses the term “missile hugger.” This is like the TWA 800 cover up in super fast motion.

[buccaneer81]

Interesting how Pike isn’t there anymore. Now all he does is spin for the government.

[jakerobins]

Barry will give a press conference tomorrow...This is NOT the Missle you are looking for...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

He said the object can't be a rocket because it appeared to alter its course.

Criminee! What a moron. Even ballistic missiles are under control for a short time. A change in course is normal during the ascent stage.

Plus, that's no contrail from a jet aircraft...which is ice crystals. It's smoke and fumes from a solid fuel rocket.

CNN report has a good angle.

“Whatever it was, it was spinning up into the sky kind of like a spiral,”

Russian Bulava aimed at Kamchatka test range? Nahhh!!

Yes, Putin would do something like that as he knows Obama is a weakling.

[muawiyah]

So, that's the space alien front group ~ and all the time we thought they were simple Agrarian Reformers (bwahahahahahha!!!!)

This was, undoubtedly, the second appearance of the "Blue UFO" that we saw last week.

Missile Hugger! Do I win?
