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.

Is there any clear video of this missile or contrail???? I can't find a one. All the online "reports" use stills or just maybe one second of video.
Been searching for a good original video that it seems everyone has seen but me. Thanks.

It is fairly obviously
this was a SLBC launch - I've seen too many while in the Navy to doubt that in any way. You can clearly see the second-stage ignite near the end of the tape - and there would be a third stage, but normally not visible from earth. In no way was this a jet aircraft...
The questions: 'Who launched it?' - 'Why from 35-40 miles off Los Angeles?' and, 'Where was it targeted?' - I suspect will never be honestly answered by this government. Simply because those answers would have been made public hours ago, had government given the military clearance to reveal what they know, and they most certainly know much.
In other words this was 'Top Secret' from the beginning - or has been made so, because it was a blunder far too big to make public - until they can come up with a believable half-truth, or an outright lie.
I opt for the second probability - or what seems to be a third option playing out currently - plead ignorance, and hope the story fades away.
Bottom line, you can not trust this government... media or, increasingly, military leadership.

Folks, this could be very serious, as I’m sure most of you are aware.
Had this been a US drill, they would have shut down air travel and sent a VHF broadcast to mariners in the area telling them to clear out. Neither of these occurred.
If this was a nation or group testing a missile strike on the US, they would NOT need to be only 35 miles off the coast to hit a city like LA.
The logistics, however, are perfect for testing out a missile strike to launch an EMP.
All they need is one puny nuclear warhead on a container ship, park it about 50 miles off a coast of the US, send the nuke 200 miles straight up over the US, and detonate it.
THIS is how the most dangerous of all EMP strikes would occur.
The US government has been very cagey about what they tell us about the effects of an EMP. But to safe, assume we are sent back to the dark ages in a matter of hours.
And read my tagline.

Caught by
Godlike Productions member Bluestone -
"Wow! editor of 'Jane's missiles and rockets' says -- "it's a solid propellant missile" "
CBS link
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/11/10/earlyshow/main7040379.shtml
Both the Navy and the Air Force insisted they had not launched any missiles and the North American Air Defense Command - which is supposed to track incoming missiles - declared it had not been fired by any other military. But nobody could say what it was.
But Doug Richardson, the editor of Janes Missiles and Rockets, examined the video for the Times of London and said he was left with little doubt.
"Its a solid propellant missile," he told the Times. "You can tell from the efflux [smoke]."
Richardson said it could have been a ballistic missile launched from a submarine or an interceptor, the defensive anti-missile weapon used by Navy surface ships.
I had to look up to see what Jane's Missles and Rockets was, it looks like they're something to take seriously.

FWIW - A side note regarding this event - a long time pastor friend of mine who has been a meteorologist as well as a synoptic analyst for the NSA in the 70's had the following comment regarding this phenomenon:
"THE CONCLUSION I REACHED WAS THAT IT WAS A JET CONTRAIL, PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT EXPANDED. IF I COULD HAVE SEEN THE RAWINSONDE SOUNDINGS FROM THAT AREA I COULD KNOW FOR SURE. A MISSILE TRAIL WOULD NOT HAVE HELD TOGETHER SO WELL."

Well, here we are on day two of this story...
... anyone here still convinced into hysterics that this was a Chinese submarine-launched missile, or have they all come to terms with this event being a not-all-that-unusual jet contrail?
To: tired1
the only point of reference I’ve seen is the only helicopter that goes across the screen in the video. The size of that contrail is not in any way from an airplane of any kind- unless that ‘airplane’ is a V-2 rocket!
For reference I have seen videos from Vandenburg AF Base launches that do look very similar, in addition to Space Shuttle launches which are huge even in comparison to this contrail.
