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.
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.

USO.
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.
My question is do we know the location of all foreign Navy Ballistic Missile Submarines?
It is a good thing that TWA 800 wasn’t in the area. It might not have been hit by the non-missle either.
Pentagon Spokesman: “We don’t know what it was, where it came from, or where it went, but the public was never in any danger.”
And, I’m sure that the radar systems that blanket each city in the US for aircraft traffic control, and security, have no image; cannot identify the speed; cannot tell the tragectory; and cannot identify the planes transponders; and have no record of a pilot asking for takeoff clearance.
Plane??? Bull Shit!
“The best guess right now is that it was either an airliner or an amateur rocket, but we may never know for certain.”
Total BS
and the Jane’s guy directly told you so.
This article is very confused ... watch the CBS video as I did.
“homemade rocket.”
Hahahahahaha from 35 miles out to sea ???
Straight up?
What a joke. Liars.
It is what you yourself can see that it is, a ballistic missile, very large, going straight up towards the North Pacific area or possibly Siberia, North China, etc.
Have you seen the other frauds false indicators deceits and red herrings ???
Airliner out of LAX. Ha ha.
Jet - angle was unlucky -— whose when from where going where ???????????????
Etc
Folks, it is just what the missile expert who is OUTSIDE the USA told ya -— it is a ballistic missile, solid fuel, going off towards the North-NW Pacific and disappearing outta sight.
Our government is lying to us, again.
Perfectly describes the ‘age of Obama’. What is seen, deny it. Convince people they didn’t see it. Convince them of what is, is not.
A clear indication from official denials was it was or could be rouge. Was it or could it have been a failed EMP attack? Definately.
Again, what we seem to be getting here is mostly disinfo and dammage control spin. This was no contrail. Someone just shot one across the bow.
Had it been a rouge state EMP that didn't fail to detonate, the west coast blackouts would be world wide headlines within minutes.
All the while, our present reader is not present. He's halfway around the world.
Just coincidence?
