(CBS) More than a day after a CBS camera caught video of an unidentified projectile leaving a condensation trail off the California coast, the situation remains a mystery, with the Defense Department insisting that it was not a missile.

But Doug Richardson, the editor of Jane’s Missiles and Rockets, examined the video for the Times of London and said he was left with little doubt.
"It’s a solid propellant missile," he told the Times. "You can tell from the efflux [smoke]."

It was Superman.
Gads. Do I have to explain everything?
My 3rd cousin’s college roommate’s moose-bitten sister wrote on her Facebook that her Uncle Freddy tweeted he saw it and it’s for real a plane - it was right after someone moved his cheese while he was in the shower and his beeber was in the shop from too much stunning. And he was logged in too.
This could (and should) have been posted in any one of a number of existing “It was a missile!” threads.
Weren’t we originally told not to believe the reports that North Korea had torpedoed a ship?
In Moscow, Major General Alexander Vladimirov, vice president of Russia’s board of military experts, told the Interfax news agency the television image “looks like the launch of a missile from a submarine.”
“Most likely we are talking about the launch of a Trident-2 ballistic missile from an Ohio submarine,” Vladimirov was quoted as saying.
Some kid’s kite got away from him.....
This brings us back to TWA 800 and the clinton machine’s coverup, including its use of the FBI to harass witnesses and arrest some of those trying to find and disseminate the truth about the detonation.
Seems this happens under democrat administrations.
Of course it was a missile. The scary part is that if the govt does not want us to know then it must be serious.
So either the US blew one off for reasons unknown or it was the Russians or the Chinese. They are pretty steamed about QE2 and who could blame them? Maybe it’s just a little message from Russia with love.
An SLBM bit my sister once!
Do you like nuclear chese?
If it was, then they launched another one on Tuesday because I saw another contrail in the same spot in the sky at the same time of day as I did on Monday.
Another question is, “Where the hell did it land?”
The answer you will find.

I’ll believe Richardson rather than the Pentagon this time. When high ranking officers’ careers are on the line with a boss like the Illegal, they, too, have their price.””
I believe this man, also.
I lived in So Cal for 29 years. Rocketdyne had a static missle test site in Box Canyon, at the end of the San Fernando Valley, before you got into Simi Valley & Ventura County.
Those static burns made lots of noise & lit up the night sky with awesome smoke & color. Solid propellent rocket furl. I knew alot of people who worked in the aviation & space industry.
I have seen that tape 5 times now. Unless it has been speeded up—this was NOT a commercial plane. They just do NOT climb that fast.
Commercial planes are not on Catalina Island.
No commercial planes at Point Mugu Naval Air Station, either. Used to ride my horses in the adjacent state park & when on the fire road at the north end of the park- could see lots of the base. Witnessed lots of planes taking off & landing & doing “touch & goes” .
This tape looks like a missle. PERIOD.
Someone’s got some ‘splaining to do to the USA citizens.
Not going to believe a single word from NObama or Janet Nappy.
Maybe they did.
