More likely WON'T than can't.

It was the only plane off the coast at that time flying at 37,000 feet (Honolulu to Phoenix). Most of the other traffic around LA is taking off or landing so it’s at a much lower altitude where contrails couldn’t form.

I notice there have been several posters misleaading people about the video.

It’s a missle plume from a sub-surface sea launch, and one can see the flame from the engine as it moves away from the camera.

Pictures taken by a news helecopter.

While Russia weighs in...

In Moscow, Major General Alexander Vladimirov, vice president of Russia’s board of military experts, told the Interfax news agency the television image “looks like the launch of a missile from a submarine.”

“Most likely we are talking about the launch of a Trident-2 ballistic missile from an Ohio submarine,” Vladimirov was quoted as saying.

“There is reason to believe this was an unsanctioned launch of a missile from a submarine. If this is so, then many questions arise about the condition of the U.S. armed forces,” he said.

Seems like if it were a missile and not an airplane a bunch of videos would be appearing by now.

Rush just mentioned and he expressed confidence that it was not an aircraft contrail.

I don’t always agree with Rush. I’m actually disappointed in his stating his position that way. If I were in his shoes I would have at least said that it “appears” this is more than just an airplane contrail. Using the word “confidence” in the tin foil side was a mistake.

If it were a contrail, that shape is only possible from a center line thrust aircraft. Problem with that theory is there are no centerline thrust aircraft used in the flight profile being touted as the “answer”. Only acft like 747, 757, 767, airbus 3XX, etc.

I guess what intrigues me and it may be as others offered , nothing unusual per se,, the bottom of the pic on the left above looks like a boost phase and luanch from a sub.. the 2nd stage kicks in causing the slight bump and then jaunt to the right and upwards.. any wind charts available for that timeframe? ;-)

I will admit it would be nice to have a time lapse web cam of that general direction ,, cuz ya know how some minds here are never really at rest, well, not for long when something looks a bit out of the ordinary

Why are you quoting an ANONYMOUS blogger and his/her blog as gospel?

Who is this Unicus you are quoting as an expert?

Does he or she have a real name?

What are his/her credentials?

Please tell us why this “Unicus” is the almighty expert and spokesperson for the “It wasn’t a Missile” cult.

I believe this was a Trident test flight. Reentry vehicles.
