A mysterious smoke plume that looked like a missile firing off the California coast on Monday may have been an aircraft and not a missile, U.S. military officials said.

“I’ve forgotten more about contrails than anyone a that website has ever known. It was a short range solid rocket.”
I’ve watched the same effect before as a native southern Californian and private pilot since the mid eighties.
It’s happened before but because it was video on the news people are flipping out and trying to sound like the smartest guy in the room, oh I wont fall for that coverup!
I’m not trying to sound like the smartest guy in the room.
Take care that just because people have a high title doesn’t make them experts on everything that flies.
Is he a pilot? does he live in SoCal his whole life?
Has he observed sunset effects here before?
Has he seen this before?
All of the above. I have.
I know this unfair but I’m not going to give my qualifications. That puts me in the position of saying “because I say so” more than you. Again, I know it’s weak. As far as the General and the Jane’s editor, I think they are qualified, the Jane’s editor more so.
Look at all the objective facts. Look at the film of the flight (airplane or rocket). Look at the flicker and color change of the glow. Sunlight won’t give that color.
It’s an aircraft. Please come out here at the same time of day with binoculars and start watching how light near sunset can reflect off of aircraft.
Look, it’s either that or there is a massive massive coverup involving dozens of agencys and thousands and thousands of people.
Do you REALLY actually think this is Art Bell land now?
Seriously?
“It’s an aircraft.”
Is not.
I’ll think about the aircraft contrail explanation for awhile and convince myself that, yes, that’s what it was—that makes perfect sense. Then I’ll go back and watch the video and immediately find myself thinking, “No way in hell that’s an aircraft.”
Pictures of similar form months ago exist, just wasnt broadcast on TV from a helicopter.
Again, contrail the next day! same area same time.
Nobody saw the “rocket” outside the area of greatest illusion
Flight Tracker shows an aircraft there!
NASA looking at weather satellite images show the aircraft contrail!
Military says not us, nor was any launch of any kind detected.
A I R C R A F T
If not...
Then the greatest cover up of the century has occured within a few days of an event in front of one of the largest concnetrations of humanity invovling dozens of agencys all coordinating perfectly involving thousands of people.
If you want to go to Art Bell land, be my guest.
