Do we have more to worry about than storms on the left coast?

Mystery Missile Launch Seen off Calif. Coast

All DoD says is "Huh?"



At the 6 to 8 second marks in the video you can see the LA lights. That gives you some idea of the size of the contrail.


It must not be anything, Google News has stopped reporting on it unless you actively search for it.

As usual, we'll know what "they" want us to know, when "they" want us to know it..........

More and more interesting.

From space.com

"We're looking into it," Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, told SPACE.com."

"Gregor said, "We did not approve any commercial space launches in that area for Monday, and any additional information should come from NORAD."

(The discription of it being large enough to be a "space launche" seems to confirms it as not being a small university science project.)

"NORAD provided SPACE.com with the following statement: "NORAD and USNORTHCOM are aware of the unexplained contrail reported off the coast of Southern California yesterday evening. At this time, we are unable to provide specific details, but we are working to determine the exact nature of this event. We can confirm that there is no threat to our nation, and from all indications this was not a launch by a foreign military. We will provide more information as it becomes available.""

I don't find that reassuring. If we didn't launch a missile from 35 miles off the California coast, and if we can confirm that no other "foreign military" launched a missile from that location what does that leave us with?

There are very few who could launch a large missile from 35 miles off the coast. From out in the ocean it'd have to be from a large specially constructed/modified ship or a submarine.

I don't think that we'll learn what happened. If it wasn't us and it wasn't another government, it has to be some very well funded group. The only alternative I can see is that there was a small mutiny onboard a submarine that was able to launch a missile but failed to target it properly.

Have you noticed that there are NO dolphins? It IS a conspiracy, I tell you!!!


Latest supposition - contrails.

Jet contrails from some angles look like missile trails

ShortNCuddlyAm, keep that hat nearby. I never leave home without mine.

I would say that it could keep unruly feathers down, but looking at your avatar I don't think that’s a problem anymore.

But do keep a foil hat (or several, can't be too safe you know) around. "They" are looking for unprepared people.

There is something truly eerie about this while I'm sitting here watching the end of "Dr. Strangelove".....

Great movie.

I don't know if you saw Soylent Green when it came out in 1973, but in the movie they take away people in garbage trucks to be processed into food. I saw the last showing of the movie on Saturday night and left the theatre about 11:30 pm. A garbage truck drove by as I got to the street.

Isn't it the US government the one that confuses 'foreign' with 'alien'? You don't suppose...

Foreign or alien, doesn't matter. Wear your foil hat and those foreign aliens can't take you over. Take it from someone who couldn't sit down for more than a month after they got me the first time.

Anyone know why "they" use anal probes anyway?

Nasty foreigners!

Shuda asked to see their green cards. Bet they were illegal anal probers too.
