“Fox News is now siting an unnamed source confirming that it was a missile and that it was launched from a submarine.”

I have been watching the video on Foxnews cable teevee......and have not seen that...

Is it on the website?

The sub could of been followed by one of our attack subs. Obama would order them not to interfere.

Maybe launched from San Nicolas Island (Naval Base)?

Looks to be going downrange to the NW at low sub orbital trajectory. The contrail people are saying it is heading from SW to NE and is an illusion. How to they explain what appears to be staging at the end of the clip?

It is a missile. You cannot judge the speed from the video with any level of accuracy because you do not have full trajectory information. It could be going incredibly fast away from the camera.

I don’t believe a word of that Pentagon statement! The only issue is, was it one of ours, or was it one of “theirs”, i.e., the Chicoms, expressing displeasure with the Fed actions.

Well, I’m an airplane nut, and a veteran of many long battles with chemtrailers over the years, and I have lots of time and experience looking at and explaining contrails. :-)

$20 to FR says it’s an airliner’s contrail. :-)

Same here. I would say that there is going to be a large contingent of FReepers eating crow within a few days over this media-driven misidentification... but the sad reality is that the tinhat brigade here is simply going to double-down and wrap themselves in even dumber conspiracy theories.

Yes. If it was a missile launch, it would have likely reported it?

Also, if it’s a missile, it would look like a missile from all directions, and be much more widely seen/reported. A contrail illusion would only look like a missile in a narrower arc.
