I disagree completely. It looks exactly like a rocket contrail and nothing like an airplane contrail.
It's not a suspected rocket launch. NORAD and DOD have specifically ruled out a rocket launch. DOD for ours, NORAD for all others. And NORAD has ruled out any threat. They are done with it except for having to answer questions from the curious.
It's not their priority to identify non-threatening, not rocket, contrails. They happen all the time.
Ok. We disagree. If you could show me a rocket contrail that looks like this one, I’d be more inclined to agree with you.
It would if it were moving up away from you.
Somebody is just jealous of the Norway Spiral, and wanted one of their own. I bet it is a UFO being launched from an undersea base... :)
/tinfoil hat still on
Operator: Main screen turn on. (AYBABTU)
So, a news story lingers of rocket launch off the coast of California for 24 hours and they think this is a good thing? When all they would have to do is an hour investigation and say, “The helicopter caught footage of flight ??? on route to HI.” Or whatever the case may be... They sure don’t have to explain every contrail, but they sure as hell should explain the ones that go national and are on every news channel, national blog in the world. Jeez, that can not be that stupid, can they???
If it were moving away from you it would have passed over you or began its flight in front of you. The only thing in front of the camera filming it is open water and a few islands that don’t have airfields on them. The entire contrail, from bottom to top, is to the west of the coast.
FUKR (think about it) ;-)
Cheers!
It was a local story until CBS picked it up so perhaps now they'll assign someone to identify the flight. Maybe they have higher priorities or don't want to set a precedent. Maybe they're waiting for the First Lady to call and ask them to investigate it. :)
Essentially the same story lingered in OC last year with the same speculation and results.
I tend to agree with Pike: send out a major to belabor the obvious and get it over with. When some news media does it again - and they will - rinse and repeat.
They really are common and take all kinds of interesting shapes and forms. I've photographed quite a few myself.
Slow-Joe Bite Me is in town, so all is well.
“If so, the foreign submarine that launched may have already been destroyed which is also something we may not wish to talk about”
the tell on this one would be a surprising aggressive economic (probably) action by china in the next week or so, seemingly overreactive to the stated reasons.
I'd say that number is somewhere between slim and none.
Big screen TVs are still working, aren't they? No prob. Prolly just one of them secret military thangs. Back to Oprah...
I think this one:

shows flights over LA better. Sunset was about 4:53, so 4:30 on should give an idea of the possibilities.. ?
“Prolly just one of them secret military thangs. Back to Oprah...”
Just had to commend you on this very accurate reflection of how so many think/live.
Why would this not show up on Radar? I would think the airports should have a record of it.
I'm far from an expert on such things, but I believe that the military protocols for launching a missile from a sub are pretty involved and very strict.
There's no simply pushing a big red button by accident, from what I know of this stuff.
Navy going Bat S*it! LOL
Bat S*ht is nothing to sneeze at when you are underwater 3 months at a time! LOL
Seriously.....
We have to look at other possible causes. Hubby says it looks like a solid fuel contrail. He knows more than I do, he spent a LOT of time on a boomer.
