Here is my first photo that I asked everyone about, 1000 posts ago:

Tell me, can you not see that this is a missile launch, and we are looking at it rise from the surface of the ocean, go up into the sky, and then head AWAY from the Los Angeles coast? Did you watch the speed on this thing??? Did you see the massive volume of the propellant coming out of the back of this rocket, the effluvia???

Does anyone really think that this is an airliner, high flat wispy condensation trail passing straight over our heads, and not a missile launch, as the Jane's expert Doug Richardson is calling it,

and as the former Under Secretary of Defense (!) and Frm US Ambassador to NATO Robert Ellsworth is calling it,

and as Lieutenant General T G McInerny absolutely states without a doubt on Hannity: "That is a missile shot from a submarine!"?

Or Marco Caceres of the Teal Group, Fairfax VA who said “It can’t belong to anyone but the military".

Why do all four experts say exactly what we ourselves who live in California can see with our own eyes?

You really can't see it? Well then I cannot help you.

But I guess you could always go with the Fox News panelist who tried to convince us otherwise by saying "That is a toy rocket launched by kids. As a prank".

Or you could go with the Pentagon "It is not a threat" ...

Hmmmm, lot of dis-infomation out there.

And, by the way, why has the original 10 minute tape disappeared and is not to be found on the web anywhere?

Notice the bright orange line of clouds in your picture. The brighter one, the higher one. Now notice the distortion in the plume that corresponds with that line of clouds. That is a clear indication that the plume is passing upwards through the same strata of the atmosphere as those clouds occupy.

It would be the most amazing coincidence if that were a wind-distorted airplane contrail many thousands of feet higher than those low-level clouds. Also quite amazing that the contrail clearly appears in front of those clouds.
