I’ve seen all the elements of this illusion personally.
I live in SoCal my entire life.
I am a private pilot that has flown these skies here off and on since the mid eighties.
Also I ahve watched many Vandenberg launches as they are very visable from ALL up and down the SoCal coast, sometimes as far as Nevada.
This contrail illusion was visable from a very limited area of course. No other reports. No lingering rocket plume illuminated after sunset I might add.
The contrail science site nails it dead on why this appearead as it did. This is no mystery, it’s no rocket.
IF that is not good enough....
Feel free to believe in a massive conspiricy of dozens of agencys and thousands of people, orchestrated within hours of the event perfectly. NASA weather experts of course included who looked at the weather satellite data and found the contrail later.
It’s Art Bell land at that point. It really is and I have no understanding at all why people need so badly to believe this was something it wasn’t.
My first thought at seeing the video... too slow.
Looked nothing like the Vandenberg rockets at all.
Again, PLEASE look this over...
It becomes obvious quickly that a rational explaination fits perfectly.
I guess that you and my husband disagree...
I won’t argue with someone who is only a private pilot and goes to websites to get their info. I know what it was from first hand/actual experience with multiple stage missles. Not only did I watch my missle launches from the ground, I also watched them through no less than three camera angles and sometimes another angle that was classified. Shout all you want to, but it does not make you correct. Also, your pet website only “nails it dead on” because that is what you want to believe. Also, I am a private pilot and that doesn’t make anyone an expert on the sky just because we fly in them. You stick to your “expertise” and I will stick with my actual/practical experience. You don’t even know who is behind your website, and you seem awful quick to believe what the government wants you to believe.
