A mysterious missile launch off the southern California coast was caught by CBS affiliate KCBS's cameras Monday night, and officials are staying tight-lipped over the nature of the projectile. (www.cbsnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Same thing happened to me after 9-11, a co-worker looked up in the sky and pronounce how the airliner was climbing really fast from the horizon. I told him that's alright, it will be diving pretty fast at the other horizon . . . Flat Worlders!
Nice detective work liembo! I was fairly certain it was a normal airliner contrail, but you've taken it to a whole 'nother level.
Well, not surprizingly the newwires hvae picked up on the nice detective work by liembo!! Link below:

Regarding "AWE808 and UPS902, both at the right altitude at approximately the right time."
OK, so why are there not 2 contrails? I've seen my share of contrails over the UK and US in my time and I'm not on board with you guys just yet. Also, on the last few frames there seems to be a flame at the source? Last time I heard of a flame coming out of a 757 it was a freshly hung engine at first start. Not wanting a urinating contest, but I just dont see a contrail... where was the helo at the time?

If it was an airplane why it did not happen before? I don't think an airplane can be mistakenly identified as a missile either. Unless it's very special kind of airplane never seen before (secret yet).
As I was researching, I found that AWE808 was at the same position as yesterday when it would have been right, and I immediately checked a Newport Beach webcam and saw almost an identical contrail effect!

I'm 80% certain AWE808 is the culprit.
There's a few minutes of uncertainty involved, but it looks pretty clear to me.
