It's safe to say that the vast majority of So Cal folks in the sightline of VAFB missile shots and San Nicolas shots don't notice them. Remember, too, that there are areas in the L.A. - O.C. county metropolis that aren't in much line-of-vision for missile launches and never see much of them at all but the tail end if they're lucky.

But you said that the SKIES around LA are busy. No one else in a plane or boat noticed the "missile launch" either?

That no other witnesses' testimony has been made public on broadcast media is easy for me to believe -- super easy, actually.

Is it easy for you to belief that their testimony has also been censored from the Internet?

Now: how about that five-word answer?

I have already said that a whole roomful of air force pilots could be wrong about this if they weren't there and have no other hard data than a picture. Likewise to anyone who answers yes to all of your five questions.

I've already done tons of reading of other-than-FR online forums, and listened to call-in LA area talk shows as well in the days immediately following the sighting. HAVE YOU????

And how in the wide, wide world of sports do you know that no one else in a plane or boat noticed the launch? It's just plain laughable for you to make that claim. If you really want to know, why don't you go hang out at the docks and marinas and talk to some boaters? Then you'd know. And you'd probably be surprised to learn that most of those folks neither call in to talk shows, post on the internet, or demand coverage from the local news station. You assume a lot of facts not in evidence, it seems to me.

Show me that their testimony has been censored on the internet. I've read enough outside of FR, and saw plenty of folks who live hear talk about what they saw, and indeed some of them agree with you, that it was an airliner. Others laugh at people like you for being so gullible in the ignorance you are unable to acknowledge -- I notice you did not provide a simple five-word answer, but a 42-world rationalization of why you shouldn't need to.
