If the FAA tape showed Flight 808 in-bound from Hawaii, the FAA official would say "It's Flight 808 in-bound from Hawaii."
The FAA didn't say that. The FAA says there were no fast-moving unidentified objects in that area.
The FAA doesn't know what this was, or isn't saying what it was. Within that context, the cover story that this is Flight 808 makes no sense.
I have no interest in the direction of travel -- the FAA looked at the radar tapes and declined the chance to provide a simple explanation for this event. There is a coverup.
Okay, if you say so;
It’s a cover up! We are being invaded my nuclear Chinese space alien rockets, tipped with mind controlling chemical warheads. We will now give everything we own to China.....Oh wait!
I think you are missing the point. The FAA says there was no radar signature in the area that people were SPECULATING the rocket was fired from.
Nobody asked them if there was a radar signature for a regularly scheduled flight from Honolulu, which in fact there was. The question was about whether there was a radar signature within the area that was ASSUMED to be the launch point for the missle that people thought they were seeing the smoke plume from.
Since now the argument is whether it was a missle from catalina or a plane from honolulu, arguing that the FAA didn’t see a radar signature near catalina does NOT support the missle from catalina theory.
Perhaps you can explain how the bottom of the plume is lit from the east side when the sun is on the west side?
