I wonder how many people who don't know about this are going to report a UFO siting when that happensNobody. People that live there are used to it. The SCUD is liquid fueled, therefore not much of a smoke trail, and is being launched at mid-day (no twilight phenomenon). All in all a ho-hum event on the central California coast.

The earlier version were pretty bad, point and hope. I believe Iraq has an updated model that is far more accurate today, and who's range is something like 900 miles. What's you take on that?That should be "far less accurate." They got more range at the expense of accuracy--the reentry vehicle operates in a regime beyond what the its Reynolds and Froude numbers can tolerate, so the thing tumbles all over the damn place. The odds are that you don't even hit the right time zone.

The GPS I use now has me spoiled. Someday it will embarass me when it goes out and I have no clue where I am.Then just fly IFR.
IFR = I Follow Roads

LOL. It's a tough job waking up conservative in Kalifornication these days.
To: Poohbah
Ouch. Thanks for the comments. I still hope we don't see some of them fired in Israel's direction.

I actually do read every post very carefully before I reply. I didn't assume anything about DoughtyOne's intellect at all! His statement just didn't make sense. I was making no distinction between 'over' and 'at the surface of' the ocean.
Sam_Paine, in the future, try not to assume that everyone is somehow trying to belittle their fellow freeper :^)

Oh wow, I didn't see that you guys had had a full exchange re my post. And I wish I had thought to pick on your use of the pseudoword "dunceness". Make 'em up as you go - that's what they're teaching kidz these days.

The GPS I use now has me spoiled.Ditto that. Great tool for situational awareness when working, though.
