More evidence newscasters are morons.

Jet contrails from some angles look like missile trails « Contrail Science Overflow

My read on this is that the Chinese....may have missile boats.

Since Barack Obama is in India, hanging out with their natural competitor [and in many ways enemy] decided to send a message and launch a missile from one of their boomers off the coast of Los Angeles.

-What I don't know is if China actually has any "boomers", or ballistic missile submarines. They have subs, but a missile boat is a big f*cking deal- it is far more complex and expensive, and only a few countries around the world have them. Russia still has a few Typhoons, but they can barely get past England since they are old and leaky, and Barack has been courting the Russians, not antagonizing them like the previous idiot, so it isn't likely them.

If it is Chinese, it makes perfect sense: Deny, but don't deny too much. Why? Because if it became public that a Chinese submarine launched an ICBM 35 miles west of Los Angeles while the President was in India...courting China's enemy? The press would EXPLODE! This would be a major embarrassment to the Obama presidency. That would be a huge provocation.

-That might be why it is being quietly hushed-hushed up, and the US Government is acting in a way to make it look like they were testing something. That is NOT an airplane contrail- that is a missile and it came from something.

Maybe it is the same thing which didn't bring down TWA Flight 800 back in 1996.

Marcos Caceres from the Teal Group is saying it could be a C-130 or B-52. I didn't think a C-130 created a contrail unless it was dispersing some chemical material. I'm not a believer in the chem trails conspiracy BS but this guy mentioned the C-130 twice.

Of course it was on Fox News so perhaps that explains it, they won't let the story die.

I don't think you have to be a rocket scientist to see a rocket motor.

If it is an airplane, then it would have an IFF/transponder code (even if was on a VFR flight plan however unlikely), so: Show me, LA Center the radar track and tell me the aircraft type.

It is that simple.

If it is military, it is even more basic to find out what it was.

So....nobody watched the video? Couldn't see the fire at the origination of the 'contrail'?
A C-130 doesn't fly that fast.

Might have been sunlight occasionally reflecting off of the fuselage of a jet. Angle's about right...

I think we need more video's of the MILF that Glen dredged up. She's kinda hot, in a young cougar sort of way. Maybe she's got other videos, better videos.

Someone needs to PM Lubey. He needs to see this.

It is a reflection of the setting sun off an airplane. The sun had not set yet, and was reflecting off what was most likely US Airways Flight 808

The above should have been in green correct?

No way thats sun off of a airplane fuselage...
