I'd have to have it, before I can make anything out of it. Assuming that problem is solved, I'd have to drain its fuel supply carefully and dispose of it properly. Once that's accomplished, I'd have to get an angle grinder and a saws-all. After that, it would not be too terribly difficult to turn it into pie plates or folk art.

I recommend - especially for Captain Cornhole - reading this.

It's a pretty thorough and definitive identification of the contrail.

What you have is a simple optical illusion, that is explained on the site both in diagrams (with the relevant math), and by actual pictures showing a difinitively identified airplane contrail from various perspectives, including ones that make it look like a missle launch.

The article even identifies the flight that was almost certainly the one causing that contrail - Flight AWE808 from Hawaii to Phoenix - and makes a testable prediction that similar contrails should be seen at specific times from that specific angle, that match up to the plane schedules.

The site is well worth a look.


Sorry it took me soo long to get around to reading that.  Anyhow, that is pretty interesting. And pretty in depth to. I don't would buy it though. It didn't explain the afterburners that are clearly shown in the video (which planes do not have) and furthermore the missile originated from 30 miles out to see.

You are just making a leap to say that the flash you see are afterburners - there's a much more commonplace explanation - it's a simple reflection of the sun of the body of the aircraft! You get the right angle with the sun, the plane, and the viewer, and that's simply what you see - a flash.

What really clinches this case as a clear, and obvious air-plaine contrail, and not a "missle launch" is that it was reported only from one location, when if it WAS a missle launch, you should have seen reports all over, from all angles.

This shows that it only LOOKS like a missle launch from a single angle, thus lending support for the notion that it is a very well understood, and not that uncommon visual illusion.

The only thing left "supporting" the contention that it was a missle, is frankly, wishful thinking, and the bias we people have for preferring a scenario that makes a good story, over a scenario that is rather mundane.

Thank you very much Swordfishtrombone - Your posts in "X-files threads" are  like a breath of fresh air. :)

You're quite wellcome, and thanks for the comment. ^_^

The problem is that I have neither the time or patience to answer most of the claims made in anything approaching a thorough manner. It is always easier to make an outlandish or improbable claim on the flimsiest of evidence, than it is to actually investigate the matter properly, to try and come to the conclusion that the evidence - not just cherry picked parts of it - warrants.

The sad thing with this "missle" story is the complete credulity and lack of critical thinking in the reporting of it - proper investigative journalism is very, very, very rare - it's much easier to make assumptions and report them as fact. Many of the stories STARTED with the assumption that it was a missle, and then speculated and interviewed people with the idea that SINCE it was a missle, who could have launched it?

Maximum journalism FAIL. :?
