Fine wordsmithing, there. What the Leyvas' video DOES show is a vertical launch. Period. The sunlight tells us this. All the trimming and editing in the world of the video's immages doesn't change the direction of the sun and how it illuminates the plume, and IF IT DID, tell us why still shots are perfectly acceptable for the airplane sides' reubttals, but inadmissiable on the part of Leyvas' film? Any clip, no matter HOW it is edited from what came before or after it, is the equivalent of a bunch of still shots taken one after the other.
PEOPLE, pay attention and notice when the airplane people go to so much trouble to KEEP YOU FROM WATCHING THE VIDEO. They don't want you to watch it because they KNOW perfectly well a video of a missile shot shows both time and movement in terms the eye can more easily compute; those airplane folks so intent on distracting you from the original Leyvas video understand that still shots of missiles AND ESPECIALLY airplane contrails are excellent tools for deception; it's much harder to deceive using a video.
Another day has passed, and still not an ounce of proof from the missile crowd.
Let me know when you all have actual data, other than “tat sure looks like a missile!”
