...orrrr, you can ignore Occam's Razor and create a theory involving an unknown sub, firing an unknown missile, from an unknown location, at an unknown target for unknown reasons based solely on 14 seconds of zoomed in video edited from 10 minutes of actual video, and presented by a local television affiliate during sweeps week.

That's a straw man isn't it, Niteflyer? I don't recall you ever proposing or supporting that theory. I know I haven't.

What is your theory?

Personally I don't have a theory...my first reaction to the video is it looked like a missile...no contrail I'd ever seen had that appearance. Some prominent people said the same (and I thought your lighting observation had merit). And the debate began. I thought the official Pentagon explanation to be fishy...not like our government doesn't lie to us at any time, and sometimes for good reason. Personally I'd rather be sure it was a contrail as I live in the LA basin and errant missile shots are not confidence inspiring, no matter what the source. Anyway then you fill in with deductive reasoning (since getting the cold hard facts is often impossible)...like why the camera guy thought this was newsworthy if just a contrail. After all the debate the jury is still out for me. I'm not into conspiracy theory stuff but I'm not a dumb American who always buys the "nothing to see here move along" government mantra either~
