Okay. After reading Freeper posts and a lot of the comments at a Fox news story on this I am convinced this was no regular airplane. The majority of the posts over there are pro-missile and there are plenty of knowledgeable sounding people who are convinced. Anyway, is anybody here who believes it’s one of ours worried all the same? I know we test these things but does the Govt. usually remain tight-lipped about it?
See my post right after yours. I am comforted that the military would keep this secret in order to prevent knowledge of what they are testing coming out. We do not need to know everything. If we figure out how to either use something new offensively or how to be defensive against something of someone else’s, we save lives on our side.
If the military felt they had to keep this tight, its OK by me.
If it was one of ours there is nothing to worry about, unless of course whatever they were testing failed. They also may have used that type of missile to test the plane based laser missile defense system. Another failed test occurred off the So Cal coast a little over 1 month before this event. Now the linked story I posted at the top of this page is a little bit of a worry. Possibility that our government is allowing other governments to test their missiles from San Nicolas launch facility. The new US Congress should at least find out everything that is going on at the launch facilities around here.
