It won’t die!
Even Jane’s has said they messed up and it’s a plane. Stop the madness.
Well, just for the record, here’s what Janes said the day after the event:
“Doug Richardson, the editor of Janes Missiles and Rockets, examined the video for the Times of London and said he was left with little doubt.
“Its a solid propellant missile,” he told the Times. “You can tell from the efflux [smoke].”
Richardson said it could have been a ballistic missile launched from a submarine or an interceptor, the defensive anti-missile weapon used by Navy surface ships.
Respectfully, if you have a more recent statement from Mr. Richardson, please share it with all of us, and help us understand why he changed his opinion. I couldn’t find anything in a quick Google search.
Moreover, the allegation and fear here is that there is a cover-up going on.
No madness here, just unexplained facts and speculation.
Uh, a NORAD General said it was, without a doubt, a missile. Jane’s is often wrong.
