“I was shooting with a telephoto lens and looking through a viewfinder so I never really saw the separation of the object and the contrail until I looked at the photos, but I’m sure that this whole thing lasted way too long to be a missile.”
— WND. Is that the hoax?
Who did they misquote? Leyvas? They quote him as unsure. So where’s the misquote? Where’s the fabrication?
Can you provide a link to that statement? I couldn't find it.
Ignore my last request. I found it. I was surprised that WND supported the jet plane viewpoint. I remember before everyone was citing WND to prove it was a missile.

That first quote was Rick Warren, some guy in Long Beach with a camera hobby. And he's backed up by so much glorious science!
As for the cameraman, Leyvas, here's what he said, how "unsure" he was:
“Though there was no time code associated with the raw footage I shot, you are still able to accurately time the footage from the moment I started the recording (as we departed John Wayne airport) to the final moments of the mystery missile story. When I play the video I can time the duration of the object in flight which was between 30-45 seconds of "Glow Time" - which is inclusive within, and at the end of the 2-3 minute estimated flight time from which the plume was visible at the horizon ... I can rely on the raw footage as it plays to gauge my estimated times since it plays back in real time on the player deck's control track timer.”
I'm pretty sure he's sure it wasn't Santa's Sleigh. Bottom line: Kopp seems just a tad obtuse. *rolls eyes*
