It was definitely a US missile.
Give up the crapola, huh?
What ‘crapola’?
That’s my WAG. It was a missile plume. It was on a low trajectory to remain within the atmosphere (total fuel burn). It had a WNW heading.
It was almost certainly a Kwaj shot.
Editor. I don’t know that we can determine whose missle it was. It was a quick video shot from a moving vehicle.
A couple of things to note here.
A. Of all the contrails I have seen, I have never seen one out at a distance where the plane was moving away from me, but the contrail appeared to be below the plane. At a low angle on the horizon, contrails from aircraft moving away ALWAYS appear to be above and behind the plane. Remember, we are always viewing contrail of airplanes from the underside. In order for the contrail to appear BELOW the plane as the plane was moving away from you, you would have to be ABOVE the plane.
B. Common Sense. The contrail was being lit from the other side of the camera. The only way to get that contrail between the camera and the sun would be to get the camera up to 40,000-50,000 feet and film it. The sun was well below the missle, from the perspective of the cameraman.
Now, caveats.
That is a video that we have no idea as to how it was produced. In this day and age, when digital technology can make me appear to be eating lunch with John F Kennedy, you have to really, REALLY trust the source of the video.
IF the video is what is purported to be, and is not a hoax, it is a missle.
