I strongly disagree with your opinion about WND.

It was the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT that was pushing the Y2K event. How you call that a win for them is beyond me?
Trust me I worked for a company that was being told all sorts of B.S. from our government. I don’t even know what WND said at the time. I was not surfing their web page then. Thought I think it is funny that you have to go back 10 years to find anything enlight of your statement that WND is on par with the Federal government when it comes to truth.

Just looking at the picture speaks for itself. That picture on post #62 does not look like an everyday jet. Like I said before if this regular occurrence, then would see it all the time and it would not make national news. However, if you want to believe it’s an airplane, then you go right ahead.

Friend, that is the whole reason for the story. But you have to go beyond that to give real evidence that it is not and that it is a missile.

Jet contrails, particularly at sunset, coming towards you, appear to be vertical when the plane is flying horizontal to the earth.

The illusion this creates is well documented. Therefore you have to compare the evidence for this possible cause with the evidence for a missile.

The Federal government said it was a problem (it was) but there were remedies that responsible firms and government agencies could employ to address the issue and avoid disaster (they did.) They said it would be expensive to address and it was.

WND said that the solutions were a waste of time - the problem was insolvable, civilization was absolutely going to collapse at the stroke of midnight, cities would panic, food riots would ensue, the government would be rounding up citizens for internment and gunning down resisters. Clinton would declare martial law and cancel the elections. Millions would be killed or die of starvation, not just in the US, but globally.

It was all complete nonsense, but they had people all over the internet in a panic and screaming at everybody who wasn't panicking that they were dupes who trusted the government and they would likely die a few months into the year 2000.

They are a hysterical nutjob site, and have been for a long time.

That doesn't prove there was no missle of course, but citing them as a reliable source makes one look silly.
