Amazing Interview: Air Force General says "Sub Launched Missile, 100% Certain"
Fox News Interview with Air Force General Tom McInerney | November 14th 2010 | Fox News Hannity Interview

Posted on 11/13/2010 2:55:59 PM PST by DontTreadOnMe2009

Hannity was surprised to hear a famous ex Air Force General tell him “That Is A Missile, Shot From A Submarine!” I quote retired Air Force Lieutenant General Tom McInerney (ex commander of 11th Air Force in Alaska) “I spent 35 years flying fighters, and you can see the guidance system kick in, I have watched that film 10 times, I am absolutely certain that that is not an aircraft, but a sub launch ICBM missile!!!” See the video and judge his words for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LivRJOWrcpA&feature=player_embedded#! I will next post a clickable link.

It’s somewhat disconcerting reading that retired Air Force Lieutenant General Tom McInerney took this position. A guy with that much experience should not be fooled into thinking this was a missile.

The General is backed up by Doug Richardson, editor of Jane's Missiles and Rockets. What about him?

I cannot be replicated every day because weather at altitude must be correct for the formation.

And indeed there was a contrail the next day!

Here’s what buccaneer has to say:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * **

For Your Eyes Only (1981):

Ah, there you are,

. Minister, Chief of Staff.

Are you aware of our ATAC system?

ATAC, sir? Automatic Targeting Attack Communicator?

Uses an ultra-low frequency coded transmitter... to order our submarines to launch ballistic missiles.

Five days ago, our spy ship, St. Georges was sunk... in the Ionian Sea.

She was equipped with ATAC.

Now, if that transmitter were to fall into the wrong hands... it would render our entire Polaris fleet useless.

- Every order could be countermanded.

- Worse. Our own submarines could be ordered to attack our own cities.

If half of what you're saying is true, we're in the soup.

Well, it is from a 30 year old James Bond movie...

“Why was there only this one contrail when there should have been dozens?”

How many were returning from Hawaii over that part of the ocean and at that altitude?

Come on guys.

This is getting really silly now.

Show me a video of a aircraft's contrail that looks like that.

I'll gladly supply still images of an airplane contrail, how's that?

That idiot "general" is completely discredited.

Mark this date. It's the date I put my credibility (such as it is) on the line here.

Can somebody tell me what sort of missile, or even extrapolation of a missile, has a *primary boost phase* that lasts for 10 minutes or more?

It's an airplane.

Everyone ...?

Considering it came from the mouth of an Air Force General, it must be true!

If we're going to take the word of generals then we have to believe the account of Astronaut Major Gordon Cooper who is on record as witnessing a UFO on his flight into space back in 1963...........

Holy cow, could it be this missile was fired at a UFO? The mystery deepens.............

Reminds me of an old joke.

“How do you know there’s a Navy pilot at your party?”

“Don’t worry, he’ll tell you.”

The sub had earlier hit that cruise ship with a new EMP weapon

OK , now that's the dumbest rumor I've seen yet. The passengers' cell phones and personal computers were just fine. They would have been fried in an EMP attack.

If you look toward the “start” of the plume you will see the wind has spread it out. That is what happens at altitudes where high winds occur. It does not happen at ground level. It also takes time to create that effect, and a missile doesn't move that slowly. This bird has stayed at the same altitude for some time, allowing the wind to do its work.

I have tracked many aircraft that when viewed through a camera lense seem to leave a solid rocket plume behind it, even though they are jet powered, just like this one. This is merely a trick of the eye.

Sorry, its just a plane doing what planes do when traveling through a moist front. Makes for neat photography.

Which of the following FACTS does the "sub-launched missile " definition fill?

1. There was no radar track from the FAA Los Angeles Regional Radar, Point Mugu NAS, Vandenberg AFB, Marin County regional radar, or San Francisco radar. You can't really believe every radar operator has been shut up?
2. The DSP satellites which can detect the launch of a model rocket and send alerts to several command centers did not detect a launch. The military doesn't give a damn about political correctness when it comes to someone launching in our back yard. Every missile would have gone on alert.
3. Not one aircraft, ship, police officer, or surfer reported a launch. Are you suggesting that every surfer on the west coast has been told to keep quiet?

The radar issue alone is one insurmountable fact. The plume of a solid-rocket exhaust contains aluminum oxide particles which reflect radar. If it was not water (as in a contrail) the plume would have stuck out on every radar on the west coast. Now make up an excuse for that one.....

China.

That same time period one of their new ‘silent’ subs surfaced inside a carrier group of ours. We had no idea they were there.

Sunlight glinting off the aircraft.
Airliners are very shiny, have lots of windows.
It’s also illuminated by orange sunset sunshine while it passes in front of a darker part of the sky making it appear to glow.

It’s an airliner.

And this will happen again one day as it did similarly the next day.

I’ve seen this before ok? I am a private pilot in SoCal of and on since the mid eighties.

Yes it makes you look twice.

But there is so much evidence now there is zero doubt it was an airliner.

I am surprised people are having a hard time with that.
Rational thought should prevail.

I couldn't understand what you were trying to say.

Go to that site, read it, get back to me with any questions.

Me thinks ol’ Doug is going to come off looking foolish just like the General.

I have been wondering the same thing. From the first video and reports on the ground I suspected this was a potassium permanganate oxidizer (sub launched) based solid rocket engine.

The swamp gas contingent were screaming too loudly to be taken seriously, however it raised the question as to why they were screaming so loudly.
