If this were actually a chem-trail, you would think you would see this type of mis-identification quite often. We don’t.

Strangely an airliner moving at 350-450 mph didn’t approach the helicopter fast enough for the crew to realize it was an aircraft.

I’ve not weighed in heavily on this yet. There a plenty enough experts on the topic to meet the needs of open discussion. I’m still not quite buying the ‘move along, nothing happening here’ scenario yet.

I believe that, whatever it was, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for it that the government doesn't want to share.

They should have known better than to have called it an airliner, though. The obvious next question is "Okay, what flight number was it, from which carrier?"

Because if it was an airliner, that information would be readily available.

I think that was Gov. Arnold blowing stuff out of his rear as he gets his butt out of California for some convention.

Makes as much sense to me as the airplane excuse.

Our State Department initially downplayed the rumors that the North Koreans sank a boat with a torpedo too.

After watching the video - I call BS, and lots of it. What is being covered up here I wonder?

Heard this morning a host saying that it didn't show up on radar. Shouldn't there have been a plane on radar if that is what it was from?

“Why can´t it be identified then? With all the ATC in the area, this ¨airliner¨ hypothesis seems pretty flimsy.”

Guys, relax, let it go. It was an airliner.
Even Drudge has let it go now.

Flight tracker has the flight number

US Airways flight 808 from Hawaii to Phoenix

Good link with lots of examples of other “rockets” and “missiles”.

If it was a massive rocket, we would have gotten the same reports and webcams from all up and down the coast.

Didn’t happen.

Me> SoCal private pilot, backyard astronomy, aerospace nut for over forty years and seen it all including making a point to see Vandenberg launches when possible. I am an experienced SoCal skywatcher to say the least.

It’s an airliner.

Wouldn't the photographer have to be out at sea then?

While that's possible I don't know if it's the only option. I'm just guessing here, but the photographer could be in a large bay looking east.

This reminds me of a story my father told me. He was a Chaplin on troop transports bringing soldiers back from the Pacific theater after WWII. These guys had been gone for years without any visits home. One of them got a letter from his wife explaining how she found a baby on the front porch. Dad said the guy walked around the deck muttering, “and I believe her!”

It's heading towards the camera, but at the same time heading west? Wouldn't the photographer have to be out at sea then?

No, they mean the observers are heading west, opposite of the plane's flight path.

This was all a mcguffin to make us forget about the timetraveller in the Charlie Chaplin film.

I think it was probably a buddy of mine getting ready for his colonoscopy. They say that magnesium sulfate bowel prep drink ain’t no joke.

My 3rd cousin’s college roommate’s moose-bitten sister wrote on her Facebook that her Uncle Freddy tweeted he saw it and it’s for real a plane - it was right after someone moved his cheese while he was in the shower and his beeber was in the shop from too much stunning. And he was logged in too.

I would have liked to see the speed at which the object moved. A missile launch would have gone up VERY quickly and would have been out of sight within 30 seconds.

There were no alarms from the DSP satellites.

And that is supposed to inspire confidence? I'm not buying this story. All we're hearing is "no, it wasn't a missile." OK... if not, WHAT???

FOX had a physicist on this morning discussing this; he mentioned that there's a Hono/Phoenix flight that passes over L.A. at this time on a regular basis.

The western sky in SoCal can play tricks on your eyes, bigtime. I believe it.

Ok, so if this was a commercial flight why were there no records of it, why is there no radar record of it? I call BS, it is plain that this was a missle launch and if it is a plane climbing out, where did it take off from? The point of origin is supposedly off the coast, do we have sea plane airliners?
