To me, it does look like a missile. If it were the contrail of an airplane coming toward the camera from the horizon, the lower part of the contrail would be smaller because it is much farther away, and the upper part of the contrail would be bigger because it is closer. From the looks of, the opposite is true.

The contrail itself would be wider at the earlier in time position, due to wind dispersal. So the appearance depends very much on the angle at which the object is observed, and the actual vector of the object. Hard to know any of it, although smarter guys than me should be able to come up with a good idea of the flight path given that we know the position of the helicopter and the direction of observation.

To me, it’s a rocket launch, plain as day. No way this wasn’t picked up on radar either. Somehow, everyone knew it was 35 miles off the coast.

It was big, and it’s being hushed up for reasons unknown.
