But Doug Richardson, the editor of Jane’s Missiles and Rockets, examined the video for the Times of London and said he was left with little doubt.
"It’s a solid propellant missile," he told the Times. "You can tell from the efflux [smoke]."
Richardson said it could have been a ballistic missile launched from a submarine or an interceptor, the defensive anti-missile weapon used by Navy surface ships
It must have shot down the aircraft that was on that flight path and at that altitude and replaced the crew and plane with dopplegangers who landed and went on their way.
It was obviously a weather balloon!
Give it a few days. Whoever did the one yesterday is probably going to try again. It’s not like our Dept. of Defense seems to care or anything, so if you’re a bad guy who’s doing something you shouldn’t be doing, why would you be afraid of this administration?
My 3rd cousin’s college roommate’s moose-bitten sister wrote on her Facebook that her Uncle Freddy tweeted he saw it and it’s for real a plane - it was right after someone moved his cheese while he was in the shower and his beeber was in the shop from too much stunning. And he was logged in too.
They are trying to pin this on an airliner coming from Hawaii (flight 808) but I think that is very unconvincing (FAA radar showed no planes in the area).
It looks like a missile, and all the other explanations ring false.
Conclusion: Our government is lying.
I’m no expert, but I did shoot missiles in the Navy. It did look suspciously like a solid propellant missile, just like the Talos missiles I used to help shoot.
It was obviously a weather balloon!

Whale spume. Really big whale.
Regarding this missile event, things can be broken down to two basic questions: is the executive branch merely incompetent, or is it outright malignant?
It was a whale fart.

What are ballon-boy and his parents up to these days?
This just doesn't look at all like an airliner's contrail from approach angle or composition.
If it was such a "common" occurance, why did the experienced arial observer freak out and cause all the commotion?
BTW, I think it was nothing extraordinary. But what the hell was it?
maybe it is obama’s failed attempts to attack the only state in 50 who remains a dem state?
ROTFL!!
Every item in the news (or not in the news also) eventually comes down to that question, it seems.
My question is do we know the location of all foreign Navy Ballistic Missile Submarines?
