Then there's this bit of comical CGI from Contrailscience.com.

Earlier, at 5:19, Rick Warren takes this image from his 10th floor balcony in Long Beach

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 Sky2 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.

You have copied and pasted this idiotic post on at least three 3) threads.

The first time you did it, I called you on it and pointed out that you were making an invalid comparison:

"Also, use your (appropriate adjective) powers of observation and notice that the two photos you posted were at two different zoom magnifications. Think that might affect your conclusions?"

Well, apparently "getting a clue" doesn't help you -- because you posted -- verbatim -- that same entire WRONG post (at least) twice more -- including this one.

Here are the two frames - carefully superimposed. Of course, I had to magnify the second photo (taken with 210mm focal length) ~154% to make it match the first one (taken at 300mm focal length.)

Still think that's "comical CGI"? (And it was composited from the raw Warren files -- by me, TXnMA -- not by your so-called, "silly" contrailscience.com website.)

Still want to stand by your (triply-repeated) statement (for which I retired my Texan description):

"Those two photos are clearly NOT taken from the same location OR the clouds moved quite a bit from one shot to the next."

??? Well, do you????

Are you familiar with the term, "mental laziness"?
