And from AFP
ContrailScience.com, a website that debunks conspiracy theories linked to contrails, suggested the sighting was an optical illusion.
It said an approaching aircraft can leave a horizontal vapor trail that looks like a missile shooting vertically from the ground or sea.

At this point, it is as good of an explanation as any other, heck, it makes more sense than half of the guesses I’ve been reading.

Anyone check and see if any boomers are missing a missile?

All things considered, I’d tend to go with the contrail explanation. But, if it was a commercial aircraft they should have the flight plan and radar tapes by now - can’t figure out why that is taking so long.

Something big is up, and heavy hitters do not want to let the cat out of the bag. IMHO

Well, it could be an airplane, provided the airplane took off from underwater and shot straight up into the air.
