Was that you? I'm sorry for not responding so I will do so here.
Why was it that only Sky2 reported the observance? And where did you get your information as to the location of the chopper? View the video again and try to convince me that it was only a mile inland................
And if you can succeed in doing that, then explain why there were no reports from citizens living directly along the coastline who should have seen that "missile" being launched........
They were not the only ones. No one disputes that.
Rick Warren took some 50+ pics of it that were used in Contrailscience.com's analysis.
There was this video that I just posted a link to a few posts back...
New footage of 'Mystery Missile' :: Nov 8, 2010, Off Southern California Coast (video; Nov. 9, 2010)
Then there were these pics linked in the OP of this thread. photos of clouds at sunset on November 8,
And yet another photographer linked in the OP ... uploaded a photo of the November 8
And where did you get your information as to the location of the chopper?
This still pic from Gil Leyvas' video shows the LA harbor in the immediate foreground just below the helicopter. I think we can all agree that these docks and the water surrounding it aren't 30 miles inland.
Check out this Google Earth video of this event:

I can even show you where to download the Google Earth files used ito create that video, so you can try it for yourself. (BTW, all those "graphic contrail models" in the video are at 30K+ feet-- parallel to the (curved) surface of the Earth.) Watching perspective make them appear to rise from the surface at the horizon is very convicing...
Let me know if you want the files so you can run them on Google Earth for yourself...
Leyvas answers that in the inetrview: It was sweeps week -- so CBS used a tiny fraction of his video (only 12-14 seconds) to fabricate a phony news event by making a confusing video that suckered lots of knowledegable folks (and not a few gullible FReepers...)
