MSNBC has latest Govt shill on declaring the missile was just a plane from Hawaii.

[Atman]

He says they overfly LA all the time...of course, no explanation as to why we've never seen them leave trails like this before. No nothing, just laughed it of and kept saying -- and this is the telling part -- that "it wasn't an ICBM." Not that it wasn't anything else, just that it wasn't "an ICBM." Oh, and the FAA says there were no planes there at that time, but Mr. Shill just brushes that off with no explanation, either.

There is no freaking way that was a jet plane. Why didn't we see similar contrails from all the other planes in the sky at the time?

1. I think it was a North Korean test flight. Since they can't fly a missile across the ocean,

they have decided to send it FedEx and launch it here! And apparently they've got that Stealth thing down too, since our military couldn't locate it. Guess our Star Wars Shield isn't worth a damn either.

2. What if it wasn't an American launch?

What if someone else did it? The government wouldn't want to admit that.

3. Yesterday they said they didn't know what it was...

Now today they say it's a plane from Hawaii and that such planes overfly LA all the time.

They're lying...

4. I was reliably assured this morning that it was an optical illusion

The "news" "reader" all but said, "Nothing to see here."

[SDuderstadt]

5. Because "sunset contrails" are...

viewer-dependent, meaning you will only see them from certain angles. Duh.

6. I think it was marsh gas.

That's the ticket. Marsh gas.

7. Al Gore Places Infant Son In Rocket To Escape Dying Planet

EARTH—Former vice president Al Gore—who for the past three decades has unsuccessfully attempted to warn humanity of the coming destruction of our planet, only to be mocked and derided by the very people he has tried to save—launched his infant son into space Monday in the faint hope that his only child would reach the safety of another world.

"I tried to warn them, but the Elders of this planet would not listen," said Gore, who in 2000 was nearly banished to a featureless realm of nonexistence for promoting his unpopular message. "They called me foolish and laughed at my predictions. Yet even now, the Midwest is flooded, the ice caps are melting, and the cities are rocked with tremors, just as I foretold. Fools! Why didn't they heed me before it was too late?"

Al Gore—or, as he is known in his own language, Gore-Al—placed his son, Kal-Al, gently in the one-passenger rocket ship, his brow furrowed by the great weight he carried in preserving the sole survivor of humanity's hubristic folly.

9. They have, in fact, left trails like this before

Unlike the various speculators on this site, this guy actually knows what he's talking about, and didn't just begin exploring these phenomena yesterday.

Here's one from December 31 of last year:



Sometimes DUers sound like global warming deniers: they wanna believe what they wanna believe, and the science be damned.

11. Thanks, you beat me to it!

I was hoping this topic had already died its much-needed death :

12. The desire to have been "lied to" by the massive God Other is too great

This topic will no more die than will the Curse of the Cubs.

"Ooooo! Secretive bad people out of my control have exposed themselves, but only in a manner that adds to my desire for not-knowing! I will speak on it forevah!"

10. It was an airplane.

Why didn't we see similar contrails from all the other planes in the sky at the time?

Because they were all flying at MUCH lower altitude, where conditions were not right for forming contrails.
