Amazing Interview: Air Force General says "Sub Launched Missile, 100% Certain"
Fox News Interview with Air Force General Tom McInerney | November 14th 2010 | Fox News Hannity Interview

Posted on 11/13/2010 2:55:59 PM PST by DontTreadOnMe2009

Hannity was surprised to hear a famous ex Air Force General tell him “That Is A Missile, Shot From A Submarine!” I quote retired Air Force Lieutenant General Tom McInerney (ex commander of 11th Air Force in Alaska) “I spent 35 years flying fighters, and you can see the guidance system kick in, I have watched that film 10 times, I am absolutely certain that that is not an aircraft, but a sub launch ICBM missile!!!” See the video and judge his words for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LivRJOWrcpA&feature=player_embedded#! I will next post a clickable link.

The "top" is on topic. We actually have people who think they see a missile heading North West out to sea. It's actually an airplane heading toward us ~ or East by South East.

Sorry dude. I deal with reality, science and nature. Artsy Fartsy stuff put together by leftist pinheads is a waste of time. Got to bail. Have fun. Will check in tonight. The bottom line is light physics. Not a very difficult subject, but not taught to a lot of people. If you know light physics, you know it was heading west at a 45 degree angle. Exactly as the General implied.

Radar operations and maintenance (both surveillance and auto-tracking) is what I do. I have even tracked the ISS in occasion. Catching that bad boy in the gate when its moving at 17K mph is a lot of fun. A ballistic missile moves at around 9K mph at max speed, by way of comparison.

I will say again, that is a contrail of a jet aircraft. That ‘plume’ starts in cloud/haze on the far horizon, not the ocean, and the aircraft travels from west to east toward the observer. It is moving far slower than a ballistic missile would at that stage after launch. Matter of fact, it is moving exactly at the speed of a transoceanic 4 engined jet. It only looks like the ‘plume’ starts at ocean level because of the curvature of the earth. You'd be amazed at how much of a curvature correction has to be computed while tracking a target a mere 200NM away.

The start of the contrail is at 30+K in altitude, which is why it exhibits all the characteristics of being influenced by high altitude winds. That cannot happen at the surface. The aircraft also was fighting those winds, requiring multiple small course corrections northward to keep proper heading. It can be seen in the contrail. A large front was bearing down on the coast at that time, which is why it looks so strange.

Yeah, at eventide the Sun is still shining beyond the horizon (what I can see) and it's lighting up contrails, et al, from below.

Oh, my goodness, you missed out on Christopher Columbus as well!

We do. Given altitude of helo and that of “aircraft” what is the distance.....

I see it going west and I am a 407L myself.

A couple of Freepers computed the horizon as being 62 miles away from an altitude of 2500 ft, and 42 miles away from an altitude of 1500 ft.

I computed the width of any conceivable rocket launch blast zone AT 35 miles away as being 3300 ft. That would yield a very large area where the sonic boom would knock the windows out of buildings in Los Angeles AND damage the hearing of people closer in, and possibly even sink boats!

Lots of things DID NO HAPPEN if this "largest rocket take off" in history had occurred.

To compare, 3300 feet white is about the size of the fireball from 750 kiloton nuclear explosion.

When I used to fly, one of the coolest things I ever saw was a plane heading towards us, slightly lower. It was the tiniest dot for the longest time followed by a HUGE contrail, billowing and puttering behind it. It was almost comical how tiny the plane looked in comparison.

What is the “largest rocket take off” stuff all about....
I never said that.
I believe we did a test. The FAA, NORAD, nor the Pentagon said anything. I sure am glad you have all the facts.

Cruise missiles have jet engines...

Someone showed him a video and he ejaculated words.

Show a little respect will ya. This could describe just about everyone on this thread. You especially.

They haven’t said anything, so I guess that settles it. How many thousands (or milliions) or in on this conspiracy?

Watch the video here: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/11/video-catches-mystery-missile-launch-off-la-coast.html

There is a helicopter in the forground, and you can see the jet crossing over the top of it. That means the bird is moving eastward, not westward. An object moving westerly would be receding.

Shouldn’t the FAA and NORAD know about inbound flights......

Please explain about transponders, the lack of flight data for the object, and that there are no other visible contrails in the world’s busiest airspace.

Also tell me how you can determine wasn’t an errant old German V-1 type of missile with a jet engine.

I only saw one trail, not two or four like commercial jets always have...

Please elaborate for me....

Yes, but they generally travel at much lower altitudes to avoid detection. Ours are terrain hugging. They wouldn’t get anywhere near that altitude.

Of course, it was a routine flight. They’ve said they saw nothing but routine flights that day. What more do you want?

Hmm, it's a simple math problem. All the information you need to do it is in the video ~ the answer that comes out is that it's exceedingly improbable that it's a missile since it'd have to be larger than even those behemoths envisioned by Disney 70 years ago

The simplest of computations require it to be HUGH and SERIES Fur Shur.

"I remember when they paraded the stealth bomber through downtown Dallas while it was still top secret."

B2? ?????

F117?

...or did I just miss some good sarcasm...?
