Pentagon can't explain apparent mystery plume off California coast - CNN

A U.S. Northern Command official who didn't want to be identified said the contrail could very well be from an airplane.

The tip of the contrail is moving far too slowly to be a rocket.

Pentagon: 'mystery missile' was probably airplane

WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon says that an airplane and not a missile launch was the likely cause of a large vapor trail in the skies off Southern California's coast.

Defense Department spokesman Col. Dave Lapan says that officials are satisfied the phenomenon was an airplane vapor trail distorted by camera angle, winds and other environmental factors.

The airplane explanation was put forth rather quickly by Contrail Science, which demonstrated how an airplane flying horizontally toward a viewer can, from certain perspectives, mimic the appearance of a rocket flying vertically into the sky.

The Web site and others even identified a likely suspect for the optical illusion: U.S. Airways flight 808, from Honolulu to Phoenix.

‘Mystery-Missile’ – Likely an Airplane | Universe Today

That matches up with what scientists that have come forward have stated – that this is nothing more than the contrail made from a jetliner.

In short, this whole sensation may have been caused over an optical illusion.

While experts at Globalsecurity.org say that more than likely what is being viewed in the video is an aircraft and its contrail approaching the camera.

One caused by a large aircraft, the sunset and the odd angle that the helicopter that collected the footage was shooting from.

But instead of mystery, intrigue and government coverup, there is likely a more ordinary explanation: it was an optical illusion.

While the flight AWE808 theory I made initially (on this blog, WCCO radio, and the CNN's Situation Room) was incorrect, I still adamantly stand by my theory that the contrail was the roduct of a commercial airliner and not a missile or rocket launch.

Make no mistake, I stand by my assertion that the event was nothing more than a contrail, however, new, solid data has come in that has me changing my theory that the contrail in question was not caused by US Airways flight 808 (AWE808) but rather my second contender, United Parcel Service flight 902 (UPS902).

A missile was apparently fired off the Southern California coast Monday night, caught on video by a local CBS news helicopter.

“From the video it’s clearly a land- or sea-launched ballistic missile, and it couldn’t have come from a French or British submarine, because they are only deployed in the Atlantic and Mediterranean,” he told National Journal.

NationalJournal.com - Mysterious Missile Launched off California Coast - Tuesday, November 9, 2010

The most likely scenario -- barring some kind of video hoax -- is that there was a test of a U.S. antiballistic missile system, whether land-launched from California, or sea-launched from an Aegis cruiser off the coast, Polmar said.

“From the video it’s clearly a land- or sea-launched ballistic missile, and it couldn’t have come from a French or British submarine, because they are only deployed in the Atlantic and Mediterranean,” he told National Journal.

Naval expert Norman Polmar, a long-time consultant to the Navy and Pentagon, said he believes the missile was almost certainly launched by the U.S. military.

“It’s spectacular… It takes people’s breath away,” said Ellsworth, calling the projectile, “a big missile”.

That is a missile, it’s launched from a submarine and you can see it goes through a correction course and then it gives a very smooth trajectory, meaning that the guidance system is now kicked in.

This is not an airplane because of the plume and the way you see that plume.
