I saw the video. I know what jet contrails look like. Way too much plume going vertical to be a jet contrail. That was a rocket or missile of some type. An SLBM, by the looks of it, launched just over the horizon. And footage of one of those isn’t hard to find to compare them.

Top Aviation Journalist Is 100% Convinced That The "Missile" Was A Jet

Top Aviation Journalist is an idiot; or a LIAR.

Please, let’s not clutter up things with facts. Sheesh.

[TomGuy]

By end of the week they will be claiming it was nothing more than an errant weather balloon.

[LRS]

Swamp gas...

[democratsaremyenemy]

If it was a jet well that ought to be easy enough to verify.

All planes are tracked by NORAD and the FAA.

It doesn’t look like contrails looks more like exaust from a solid rocket booster.

Wouldn’t there be other planes in the sky trailing contrails? I see them all the time overhead and there will be many of them, not just one.

Even a BROKEN Trident travels much faster:

But not a Space Shuttle. There are a lot of variables, not the least of which is the distance of the camera from the object.

LOL!

I saw the interview. The guy is way beyond his “use by” date. Among other things he actually said, staring knowingly into the reporterettes eyes, that the missle came from an “underwater submarine”.

Actually the defense department take is just as amusing. It says the thing we all saw in the video, with an orange exhaust glow and rocket-like plume of smoke being jetted backward, could have been a conventional aircraft vapor trail. Something to do with being an optical illusion. Uh, tail number please.

But let’s run through the real possibilities on the assumption it was a rocket:

1. Misfire by US Navy vessel. Not good.
2. Misfire by foreign vessel. Not good. Especially this close to West Coast.
3. Warning shot by foreign vessel. See comment 2 above.

There is no up side to this story for the Defense Dept. or the Usurping Onada Administration.

Then I suggest the FAA gets busy, releases to the public the airline and flight number along with the radar images as well as the fix data. That should be simple enough and will stop the story dead.

If this was only a jet, it wouldn’t be a unique event.

Why haven’t we see MANY MORE episodes like this
in the past?

[dalereed]

we saw it and it wasn’t any jet, it was a rocket.

[I see my hands]

Yes, the true believers are common lot. It becomes harder and harder to stifle a tut, tut aimed in their direction.

But not a Space Shuttle. There are a lot of variables, not the least of which is the distance of the camera from the object.

The Space Shuttle reaches earth orbit and a speed of 17,500 MPH in just 7 Minutes.

>> The more the evidence, the louder the cries of “Conspiracy!”. <<

For sure. The fact that there’s so much evidence just PROVES how sneaky the conspirators are. These demons obviously are experts at manufacturing evidence and then making it look real!

Obama, China, Iran, Russia, North Korea, Pakistan, Al-Queda and anybody else who believes Obama is really the Commander in Chief in control of the Football.

Not shocked that it's a journalism major saying the silly stuff...

What does it take to become a "journalism major" anyway? Ability to turn about and lie on a dime?

[sionnsar]

I haven’t followed this in detail—but could it have been a shoulder fired missile from a terrorist aimed at a plane?

The plume was MUCH bigger than that.

[pissant]

He’s full of crap
