Not really. If a boat were a mile or two away from the point of launch it would have been just fine. Again, no reports coming in from any sailors either on cargo ships or sailboats have mentioned anything. How about people flying small aircraft? None of them saw it either?

I’m going with the opinion that it was just an airplane.

At 35 miles out 2 degrees is 2/360 * pi * 35 Or 3225 feet.

The blast zone was, given the cloud/contrail size at the horizon, 3225 feet wide.

That is several times wider than the blast zone you'd have if you blew up a Saturn V rocket on the launchpad!

That'd DESTROYED anyone as close as 1600 feet from the launch point!

Naw, you don't get it. IF it were a missile the BLAST ZONE of the exhaust would have been over 3000 ft wide!

That's because that contrail appears to be as much as 2 degrees wide at the horizon (assuming ground level 35 miles away).

Imagine the SHOCKWAVE generated by a blast 3000 feet wide!

That'd probably knocked windows out of every building in Los Angeles County West of the mountains!

We saw none of those things happen. No windows were broken. No boats were sunk. No boaters are reported missing.

It was a plane!

THAT is the thing that has me thinking that it was something other than a missile.

Where are the other witnesses?

Where are the people who heard it—these things are very loud, especially where sound carries much further over water.

Where are the casual boaters who would have been within 20-30 miles of this thing—seeing the light, smoke and contrail—and then those with 15 miles hearing the noise as it lifted up.

In LA, you would figure at least a couple of them would be selling their story to E!, or CNN.

THAT is what has me doubting the missile story.
