Okay tin foil hatters. let's play find the
So the recent "missle launch/contrail" contrailversy has me scratching my head a bit (which is denting my tin foil). The DoD explanation after three days of futzing around is that it's a contrail from an aircraft approaching the west coast with atmospherics and an optical illusion making it look like a missle. Bullshit. 1) Being an early riser I see a lot of contrails coming from the east as the sun rises. Every one I see has the reflection of the sun underneath and NO SHADOWING like the video clearly shows. 2) No jet I know of commercially (which is what this is supposed to be) is single engine. If indeed it was a contrail from a passenger plane approaching the west coast, as it got closer the separate contrails from the engines on each side of the fuselage should have seperated and became distinct. Especially if you could see the "reflection" from the fuselage which is the explanation given as to why it was glowing like a jet engine. 3) "It's too slow for a ballistic missile". Who said it was a ballistic missile? The other explanation for this is since it's moving away from the observer and perhaps leveling out you would have no reference for speed. In addition, cruise missles have a booster to get them away but then they level out and are pretty much subsonic after that. So not being a missle tech or having witnessed a live firing I can't really say what it really is. But I'm pretty darn sure it wasn't a contrail approaching the west coast. *adjusts tin foil hat and makes sure all postings go through 27 proxies so it can't be traced*
