It’s not like were going to chase them.8O

Will be on the road during Dec 4 launch. Maybe weather will cooperate so I can be @ New Year launch. Blue Skies everyone.

Very logical Joe. I did think about it for a moment however. I guess the so called offical report is jet contrail. Still weird. Guess one would have had to observed it in real time to draw own determination. ET…   Read more»

Everyone has missed the truth behind this episode – visiting aliens have left for home.

I wondered about Catalina… but there is no way that was a contrail… temps too high at launch for contrails, 30 miles out? No amateur would do that… though it was in International waters, legally, they could. Why?

I did some looking and there are many cryptic warning in the area. I was surprised sort of to find out how many different military test areas there are along that coast. I dont know the terminology so do always…   Read more»

On a semi-related note, a buddy of mine from New Zealand is totally captivated by contrails. I teased him about it, and he pointed out that they rarely see them in NZ – not that many flights at high altitude…   Read more»

Pretty convincing logic that it was an aircraft contrail//thailandaviation.blogspot.com/2010/11/us-california-mystery-contrailmissile.html

😯 I heard that also about a mariners warning. I still think it was a missle of some variety.Or, one heck of an atmospheric condition to create a contrail to last that long while a jet plane crosses over the…   Read more»

I have heard report that a NOTMAR (notice to mariners) was issued, speculation on whether a NOTAM was issued. This would point to a planned NAVY operation.

Was listening to Fox News Radio out of Ft. Collins/Wellington this am. Heard “Bear” call in and talk about California off shore launch and our Club and our launches. Anyone else hear it? Now I hear Rush talking about…   Read more»

I watch enough television to know that it is usually the guy who reports the incident who is guilty of it. So John Wilke, where were you at the time of the mysterious streak? I just know you have a…   Read more»

Having watched several videos of this event (maybe all from the same source), it is apparent that it is not a jet. You can clearly see the white-hot exhaust at the tip of the plume, something you’d only see on…   Read more»

Very cool. I was hoping upon hopes it was an upscale mosquito offof a small row boat.

From ContrailScience.com//uncinus.wordpress.com/2010/11/09/4/He even goes so far as to analyze which flight likely caused it: US Airways flight 808 from Hawaii to Phoenix.

Coooooool! Yeah, we’re safe. 😯

Probably space junk or something that’s classified…Pretty sure if it’s big our satellite defense systems know of it.

… and I really like the whiteboard idea posted above.

Any interest in a “class” altitude contest? Sailboat, sailplane, and car races typically have classes where the form of the vehicle is defined by limits- it has to weigh so much or be no shorter/longer than a certain dimension. You…   Read more»

Joe, I like the new rules for the alphabet contest! It will make it really hard to even get close to M or K for that matter. Those rules keep the contest more competitive and certainly allows more opportunity for…   Read more»
