I dunno who Unicus is, but he offers a good explanation with good photographic evidence. Plus everybody here on FR has seen jets and contrails before, and most have seen and can grasp how a jet flying toward you at high altitude on a flat trajectory can appear to be a missile flying straight up from a location on the ground. One doesn't need to be an aeronautics engineer or rocket scientist.
There are enough real threats in the world from the Chinese, Islamicists, Iranians, North Koreans, etc., for conservatives to not be chasing down contrails that look like SLBM launches.
Photographic evidence, but not video evidence from Unicus it appears.
Why the lack of curiosity into Unicus’s background and qualifications? Is it a man? Is it a woman? Is it a monkey?
It’s the same lack of curiosity into Obama’s background and qualifications that got us into the mess we’re into today.
