"If you go to any fighter squadron, Navy or Air Force, in the world today, they are going to agree with me..."

Uh,....no. I was listening to John and Ken on KFI yesterday. They had a caller who stated he flew F-18s and the "missile" wasn't....a missile.

He also noted that if it had been a missile, Air Traffic Control in the LA area would have been inundated with calls from other aircraft asking "What the *ell was that we just saw?!" That didn't happen according to the caller.

So, I'll go with the contrail explanation.

I think it more likely a contrail than a missile - but citing a random caller who 'claims he flew F-18s' as evidence holds no more water than if I say "I was that caller, and I recant".

As for calls to ATCs - perhaps you are right, but it wouldn't surprise me if most of them would be looking in a different direction, anyway. If any DID see the contrail and thought nothing of it then, it would sure be helpful for them to come out NOW with a press release or two to help offset THESE sorts of interviews.

But the complete lack of any evidence is one of the big reasons some people are so sure it’s a missile. :-)

Ya, it really gets chaotic when the tower is jammed with calls from the public. Same thing happens when they deliver beer and pizza...That's when all those near misses occur.

:o
