I did. In fact, I listened TWICE.

Know what? NO ONE IN THE LINK YOU POST said "it was coming in the Est and going to the East."

Not the cameraman, not the two talking heads. NO ONE MADE THAT CLAIM.

One of the talking heads said the cameraman said he thought it looked like an incoming missile; from the Santa Monica area, something headed north-west would look incoming due to the curve of the coastline. Neither you nor I know if the cameraman actually said that, or if he said it and explained that while it may have looked "incoming" it was actually not, which is entirely within the realm of something he would say and how it would be misreported. Also, the camerman doesn't say he focused on the missile for ten minutes -- the talking head says the reporter "stayed on it" for ten minutes. The talking head is a boob who probably thinks filming the remains of a missile plume is the same as "staying on it." The cameraman, at least in this video, made no such claim, NOR did he OR ANYONE ELSE say it was east-bound.

The sun tells you where the missile was going. The sun tells you it was going in a north-westerly direction.

The cameraman’s original words and the various talking heads mistaken interpretations of what he said, have been intertwined, and now it is nearly impossible to separate them.

As you pointed out, nearly all of the arm chair general’s here have vastly “mis-quoted” what the cameraman was saying ... which tells you a lot about them.

The “Egyptian mathematics” are wrong in that none of the parameters are known: not the distance, not the height, no the time factor, not the wind strength, etc -— so no valid calculations can be made and his angry contentions have no valid base to them.
