He even posted a photo taken at the same time the next day -- showing the exact same effect.
The fact that the plane's movement is inbound (toward the viewer) heightens the illusion that the object is ascending in the sky.
Not so fast. Ret. AF Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney appeared on the O'Reiley Factor last night and conclusively stated it was a missile launch, not an aircraft's contrail. He based his opinion on having viewed the entire, moving video, not on comparisons of still pictures taken from it and still pictures of contrails from aircraft. He stated it was clearly a missile launch because the object does an immediate course correction and then flies off on a predetermined path, something highly characteristic of missile launches, rather than the flight paths of aircraft.
I've read the article Saganite linked in his (hope you're a he) post. It only shows still pictures of contrails and does not indicate that its author compared the moving video of the present object with any other moving videos to reach his conclusion. The object's characteristic motion as a missile that's just been launched being the key to McInerney's well-informed professional opinion, a similar comparison needs to be made to refute that opinion. I've not seen any such comparison by an expert as well qualified as McInerney; hence, I accept his opinion that it was a missile.
