And the object creating the plume was heading AWAY from So Cal, not toward it. It's to be expected that it was barely noticed by So Cal's millions -- at least, if you're familiar with the area and the ocean. Folks who've never lived here nor lived oceanfront, have zero idea of the on-site realities.
ON THE OTHER HAND, other folks I know who are more knowledgeable than I am with regard to military defense, aviation, and missiles, think it wasn't one of ours. *sigh* None of them thinks it was an airliner and in fact, snort in amused contempt when they learn that there are people who've actually seen the video and still think (or claim) it was an eastbound airliner!!!
Having watched Vandenberg missile launches for many, many decades, however, I've come to be pretty impressed with our missileers and still think that what Leyvas caught on film was a test that probably bodes ill for our enemies. :^) But I am disgusted and dismayed at an "official" line so lame that it tries to pass it off as an eastbound UPS plane. It's an insult to people's intelligence.
So you think what Leyvas filmed was a missile launched about 35 miles off the coast of California?

Post your link(s) to the article(s) where ANYONE in an "official" position claimed it was UPS 902.
And if you even dare suggest that I, TXnMA, am in any way in support of the US government -- (specifically the socialist regime of Øbozo the Usurper) -- I'll simply refer you to my ten-year posting history here on FR and recommend that you read the OKC report section mentioned in my FRProfile. Then ask the USGovt. how they liked it! LOL!!!
In fact, quote one singe pro-government statement I have made. On this thread, I have deliberately remaned technical. I have no (zero) political agenda on this subject.
OTOH, based on your postings on these threads championing that CBS video hoax as the ONLY evidence, should we be asking what CBS entity you work for?

You are barking up the wrong stump, missy...
God bless you, Finny. Thank you for sharing your information/take/ and a little bit about you. Glad to have a chance to swap posts with you!
So, since the missile was 35 miles away [curved horizon chopping off the view of the actual launch], seeing the corkscrew at the bottom is not inconsistent with a missile? If the actual launch was in line of sight, there might not have been a corkscrew visible at the very bottom of a distant camera shot?
