Reporter adds: "I am not just hearing it from the General, I am hearing it from other sources too. It leaves me to wonder if NORAD knows what they are doing."
Next, Hannity is amazed to hear another reporter say "It may be a toy rocket !!!"
"It could be a bunch a kids on a boat, pranking."
(Laughable.)
The General then replies:
"If you go to any fighter squadron, Navy or Air Force, in the world today, they are going to agree with me..."
Note: He is a command pilot with more than 4,100 flying hours, including 407 combat missions during the Vietnam War. In addition to his Vietnam Service, Gen. McInerney served overseas in NATO; Pacific Air Forces, and as commander of 11th Air Force in Alaska. Currently, he is a Fox News contributor, and is a member of the Iran Policy Committee.
So, we now have:
1) The Editor at Jane's Missile Magazine, Doug Richardson, saying: "Unmistakable missile, you can tell from the exhaust plume".
2) The former Deputy Secretary of Defense, and former US Ambassador to NATO Robert Ellsworth saying "Spectacular; takes your breath away; that is an underwater sub launched ICBM missile!" and "Too big a smoke plume for the Taliban" (Gee, that's good to know).
and now we have famed Lieutenant General Thomas G. McInerney saying the exact same thing, only more emphatically, on Fox News.
So:
Whose missile? For what purpose? Related to events in Korea? G-20 warning or reply from China?
Crazy NORKs ?
Why is the US government stone walling its own people?
Embarrassment? Know any military with inside news?
Will more information leak out in coming days from shocked staffers at the Pentagon and NORAD?
Everyone ...?
“That Is A Missile Shot From A Submarine!”
states retired Lieutenant General Tom McInerney, Fighter Pilot

I don’t think that “It’s certain” ...
But a sub-launched missile fits all the data. It makes sense.
And Obama’s/the administration’s coverup makes sense. See - THEY don’t anybody else to point start pointing fingers at the Chinese.
Because the Chinese are Obama’s only (non-Muslim) allies.
I'm glad he's retired.
As soon as I heard about this I immediately thought of the 1996 TWA Flt 800 disaster. Odd, I haven’t heard or read any comparisons in the media. Perhaps I haven’t been paying attention.
the government is doing the same thing they did with ufo’s.
US, Russian...or Chinese?
I didn’t see this segment, so thanks for posting this. After so many actual experts (as opposed to armchair guessers) saying this was a missile, I’m convinced that’s what it was. The only question remaining is, whose missile was it?
Add this to the Internet speculation that the recent gulf oil rig explosion was actually caused by an NK sub, and we are going to need alot more tin foil.

I watched the video and it sure looked like a missile to me.
It certainly isn’t any ordinary plane. It looks like a solid fuel booster to me.
Conceivably it could be some kind of experimental plane, but in that case, where did it take off from? No signs of an aircraft carrier in the area, which pretty much leaves the only reasonable alternative that it was launched from a submarine.
Chinese sub is my guess. I simply can’t imagine our own government taking the risk of firing a submarine launched missile over the U.S. and possibly Canada.
Well he’s 100% wrong. LOL
The story here isn’t the contrail anymore.
It’s the threads like these and how far off those who the media tells us are “experts” on such phenomenon.
I am shocked ~ totally shocked ~ and to think that last week on November 3 when the Blue UFO hovered over top the Satellite Service near Centerville VA I didn’t call everybody’s attention to the fact they launched all the jet fighters out of a nearby Army airbase. Try this thread http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2626757/posts?page=61#61
I think it’s most likely it was from an airplane, but who knows for sure?
In order to successfully threaten and intimidate, you have to leave no doubt that that is what you are doing. In my opinion this “is it a missile or not?” stuff is much too subtle for the thugs in Beijing.
I’ll settle this thing once and for all, it was a jet fired from a submarine! ;-)
I predict you are going to get tread on.
Vertical missle contrails will not leave a shadow like this one did in this photo;

It’s basic physics, think it though.
Remember: The government doesn't work for the people, the people work for the government.
Pretty good argument here that it was a plane:

“I spent 35 years flying fighters, and you can see the guidance system kick in...The first assertion is meaningless unless he spent those 35 years flying fighters while observing ballistic missile launches.
And the guidance system in those suckers is running in the launching tube or silo. It doesn't 'kick in'. I suspect he's thinking about the old SA-2 system we flew against in Vietnam, which followed a pre-programed launch trajectory until the booster dropped off, exposing the guidance antennas.
