I was wrong Gil Leyvas didn't say anything about how long he taped or observed it in the interview he did with his own station. The only place I could find mention of it was in the following written story from ABC. It was the reporter's words not a quote.
Military Says Missile-Like Object Wasn't Missile (but, Times of London Expert Says...Missile)
"He zoomed his camera in and stayed on it for about 10 minutes. To him it looked like an incoming missile." (quoting reporter)
I think we have two primary CBS interviews with this guy ~ apparently at the same time (one local and one network), and another interview with the LA Times, and then with a local paper.
I don't believe he is a good subject to interview, and I wonder about his celestial navigation capabilities ~ he definitely has trouble with East and West ~ more like he's trained to fly helicopters and use cameras, or was someone else flying?
I don't want to be under this guy when he crashes Fur Shur.
>>>”The only place I could find mention of it was in the following written story from ABC.”
No, that’s CBS. Identical quote from the CBS Early Show report I posted earlier.
Cameraman in quotes:
“I saw a big plume coming up, rising from looked like beyond the horizon and it continued to grow,” Leyvas said.
“It was unique. It was moving,” he said. “It was growing in the sky.”
Big event. Plume. Being widened by the wind.
“UNIQUE”, in his own words. Or “Spectacular” as the expert stated.
“Was growing” refers to the huge smoke plume, slowly spreading out, not the rocket which was very tiny at the end of the video- obviously.
