Hey, the dude in the helicopter that photographed this contrail said it was similar to other contrails he had seen before. Strange that you are posting falsely about the views of the dude that filmed this!
No reports from any boaters/fishermen in the area either.
The airport in Hawaii is far away....
Yes. I’m pointing to this link which suggests a specific flight.

Planes coming toward the viewer look as if they are flying straight up. Widening contrails appear as if they are closer than the plane, when in fact they are further away. This is not the first case of an apparent missile launch which is in fact an ordinary jet airliner and its contrail.
Also see Flight Aware for the U.S. Air 808 flight:

Ok then it shouldn't be hard to look up which flight it was.
Nothing personal but I'm not buying any normal airplane theory.
Not "chem-trail" and if you search the web you will find lots of them that 'look' like rockets.
try reading the whole page. it’s makes a solid case that it’s a contrail.
US Airways from HA to Phoenix.
"1942" was the sequel that never got made.
You are correct. It is not difficult to look up which flight it was. A number of persons already have and have suggested:

The “expert” you are quoting is a bird photographer.
Actually- what the pilot said this was similar to ONE he saw last Thursday. He phoned it in to the station because he was seeing another one- saying this one was more dramatic. It would have been useful if the station asked him for the record IF this looks like the dozens of other contrails he’s seen in the past.
You are expecting a lot!
And, a pretty steep climb also. That's fighter territory, not airliner. Or, missile territory...
Maybe we’ll know what this was by watching for changes in the way Obama deals with China or Russia.
Does Obama take the nuclear football with him every time he travels abroad?
Your “expert” is a bird photographer?
Not missile. I say what you think. You no worry now. Pilot say so and other authority say so too. You no think US military launch missile that cannot explain. What go up no need to come down. You no worry now.
Folks, our guys and gals would have seen a missile launch. There's no two ways about it. They state categorically that they did not; I have to believe this. Remember that most members of the USAF are patriots who pledge to and follow the US Constitution; not some master appointed over them. They are not liars, either. They are far more likely to be a member of Free Republic than KOS or Huff Post. They're not part of some grand conspiracy!
If they tracked this and just don't want to report it, or where ordered not to report it, then they wouldn't have lied, but offered no comment instead.
