Dr Evil is holding the leaders of our nations hostage for the staggering sum of ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

Dr. Evil needs to read Ransom of Red Chief.

It has been determined that it was an SLBM launch by the Burkina Faso Navy to intimidate the United States into removing MSNBC from relay satellites beaming to Africa.

We have kids dyding 6,000 miles away because the US Govt, intel and Penatgon has been infiltrated by Islamics and we cannot protect the border. Meanwhile we can spend tens of billiosn on weapons systems to keep union factory line scum who voted for the muslim employed at UTX, Raytheon, Martin Marietta, Lockheed, Boeing.

Maybe they were ordered to. Create a crisis to make the senate sign the START treaty during the lame duck session?

I’m no expert, but subs can hide under floating vessels, near the sea bottom, or even blend in with whales.

On the other hand ...

OldMissileer: “That is a sub launched ballistic missile and it looks as if its’ trajectory was taking it toward Kwajalein Atoll where we target our western test launches.”

But if it was a test goof-up, the delay on an official confession is strange.

Is a secret something from Vandenburg AFB too far off? It was right off the coast.

And if the British/French/Chinese/Russians (the only folks, besides us, who can launch an SLBM) did this, every hull in San Diego would be at sea chasing down the sub and every Navy/Marine aircraft in Southern California would be over the Pacific looking doing the same thing.

You forget that they all report to Obama... the "what, me worry?" president.

Correct. The only missiles a Kilo can carry are SA-N-8 or SA-N-10 missiles for self defense.

Definitely not a hoax, and doesn’t appear to be an optical illusion (sunset contrail).

It was most certainly picked up by satellite, and being on the west coast, the Beale UEWR might have tracked it and if so, within a short amount of time provided the predicted impact point (if not an orbital trajectory). I say might due to the proximity of the trajectory and angle.

They ain’t talkin’ because they don’t want to.
