Mystery Missile Launch off of California Coast
« on: November 09, 2010, 12:40:25 PM »

The mystery of a missile launch last night off the Southern California coast deepened today as U.S. military officials said they were still checking to see if the missile was one of theirs.

The unmistakable contrail of a missile streaking into the California sunset was captured on video last night by a KCBS news helicopter flying over Los Angeles at around 5 p.m. Pacific time.

The missile firing drew more attention when local news stations were told by Navy and Air Force officials that they did not launch a missile last night.

Flying above Los Angeles, the crew aboard the helicopter estimated the missile was fired approximately 35 miles west out to sea, north of Catalina Island.

 I say BULLSHITT!! SOMEBODY knew about this..... Denial isn't going to help anything in this instance. NORAD doesn't know, the Navy doesn't know, SPAWARS doesn't know??  :bs:

Military and aviation officials said Tuesday they don't know who may have launched a mysterious object spotted in the sky late Monday off the Southern California coast, but noted that whatever the projectile was, it did not pose a threat to national security.

No threat?  How about if it was aimed at LA? Wait a minute, never mind.  :-)

We don't know who launched it, or what it was, but it's harmless.  :banghead:

Capt. Chuck Nash, USN(ret) says that SOMEBODY knows something and they're just not saying right now because they want to make a good excuse.

It was a cloaked Nork ship aiming at LA, but their aim was just a "wee bit outside".

According to Fox News, it appears Norad and the Pentagon didn't get his memo and denying knowledge of any military operation in that area.

KFI-AM here in Los Angeles just had Dale Dye on the air, who says that he's talked to his contacts at Point Mugu and none of them thought this was anything more than some model rocket enthusiast.

Take that FWIW.

Then they should be able to track the persons responsible down since there are restrictions on how much, what type and who can buy fuels like that.

I never could get a contrail like that with vinegar and baking soda. When I progressed up to Estes Industries solid fuel motors it got a little more like it but jeeze Louise the mailman would be wearing a truss if he brought enough to make have made one like that.  But then things have progressed in the last forty years so.  Still I am highly skeptical and tend to the Thor explaination that everyone is getting their story straight.

I am impressed that they could find ANYONE who could say that with a straight face...don't know what it was, but it wasn't dangerous.  Just how stupid do they think the American public is? If ya can't tell us who what where when why and how, then why should we believe anything you say??? :hammer:

They are probably concluding that it wasn't dangerous because it headed West instead of inland.....

In other words, "We don't know what it was, but it wasn't a threat."

How Orwellian.

    The conspiracy theories are great and very entertaining to be sure, but doesn't s7's post above clearly show that the military notified the NOTAM service for pilots? If you read that post (yes yes, all caps is very difficult for some people) you will see that this was well planned out and thought through (in terms of pilot safety). So, did Osama take control of NOTAM? Are the aliens really that thorough? How nice! Here, I took the liberty of pasting the pilot notification (NOTAM = Notice to Airmen)

    "NOTAM for LA.
    KZLA LOS ANGELES A2832/10 - THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS ARE REQUIRED DUE TO NAVAL AIR WARFARE CENTER WEAPONS DIVISION ACTIVATION OF W537. IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, ALL NON-PARTICIPATING PILOTS ARE ADVISED TO AVOID W537. IFR TRAFFIC UNDER ATC JURISDICTION SHOULD ANTICIPATE CLEARANCE AROUND W537 AND CAE 1176. CAE 1155 WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR OCEANIC TRANSITION. CAE 1316 & CAE 1318 WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR OCEANIC TRANSITION. CAE 1177 WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR OCEANIC TRANSITION. W537 ACTIVE, CAE 1176 CLOSED. SURFACE - FL390, 09 NOV 20:00 2010 UNTIL 10 NOV 01:00 2010. CREATED: 08 NOV 20:52 201"

    Thanks s7!
