Funny, But number 10 post looked just like a regularly scheduled incoming flight to LAX only without the sunset colors to set it off...or something.

PS: Ive watched every day since the "was it a launch or was it my imagination" debate and still not seen any contrails that looked like a missile (shuttle) launch.
