Here is more from contrailscience.com that doesn't make sense.
Earlier, at 5:19, Rick Warren takes this image from his 10th floor balcony in Long Beach
He took several more photos, at different zoom levels, but all from the same position. You can clearly see the plane as it stops leaving a contrail.
Those two photos are clearly NOT taken from the same location OR the clouds moved quite a bit from one shot to the next. If the cloud moved a lot why didn't the vehicle leaving the contrail move significantly as well?
The second pic is obviously taken a little later than the first as the lighting of the sunset shows. But the vehicle is in the same approximate position and a good deal of the contrail has disappeared. The answer is simple. The vehicle is traveling away from the photographer to the west at a severe angle as the photographer thought. Even a slow moving aircraft would have moved significantly more in the frame if it were coming towards the photographer to the east. As both UPS and flight 808 were supposed to be doing.
Aircraft adjust for wind to keep the proper ground track.
The aicraft continued to make a short contrail, simply conditions were not longer such that it would persist.
The lingering contrail is totally dominated by the predominate winds.
It’s an aircraft.
There are plenty of pictures on that site of other “rockets”.
And guess what it’s going to happen again.
I promise you. When conditions are right, a “rocket” will be seen again. You can bank on it.
Will there be a news chopper video crew to hype it again?
Probably not.
We have a storm front moving through right now, so perhaps it will occur again soon.
