It's not that hard to say when the photographer straight out says he only saw a moving object a maximum of 3 minutes. If you think watching a contrail drift in the wind for 7 minutes would be interesting that's up to your personal level of being entertained.
IF CBS and the cameraman presented this as the UNEDITED FILMING (which they did) why would you believe them about what the full 10 minutes showed????
The cameraman doesn't get to present anything to the public he just turns his tape in to the station. I don't have to believe KCBS (local station BTW) but I can consider the clear words told directly to a FReeper by the cameraman, Gil Leyvas, to be reasonably honest. He is the only one who has said anything about the un-aired 7 minutes of tape and that was only by inference.
Notice that even Leyvas refers to it as a 'contrail' and not a missile plume.
Yes, he clearly said he doesn't know what it was. A pretty unbiased way of describing what he saw.
He thinks it was far out to sea, behind/northwest of UPS902. He does believe he saw UPS902 far to the south of the object he was viewing, because he specifically compared that contrail, which was obviously a jet liner, to this object, which was NOT obviously a jet liner.
He said that typical jet airliner contrail, in comparison to the one he videotaped, was like "comparing a tree to an ant." The contrail he was filming was nothing like the other jet airliner contrail he had in view at the time to the south.
You keep ducking the question of: Where was the response? If this was a missile, where is the news of the navy ships responding?
Why isn’t this a huge story in the media?
Why don’t you have a shred of actual data?
