The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, issued a

that the contrail was not the result of a foreign military launching a
missile. It provided no further details.


Of course that implies that they know what it was - probably some
classified test.


Or, just as likely, they're clueless. But I agree that it was some sort
of U.S. military "exercise."


NBC is saying this was just a commercial airliner contrail shot from
an angle that made it look like a rocket.


That really sounds far fetched..... I work at an airport and we do
enjoy watching contrails and discussing aerodynamics of same, given
appropriate metrological conditions.....


BUT, even with perfect metrological conditions, mistaking that for a
rocket/missile shot really tries the imagination....


If it was a missile, it was the * S L O W E S T * missile every
launched. * Even the reflection off the object looks like the reflection
off of a plane at sunset. *The optical illusion makes more sense than a
very very slow missile.

The optical illusion could have been how slow it looked because it was
pointed west, down range... Either way NORAD can see me pick my nose
on my boat, they know what it was...

That's because it's not a missile - it's a contrail.

Well, I would recommend you stop picking your nose.

Bob Ryan, our local weatherman, says it's a contrail.

Ergo, it's a contrail. No doubt.

Some in this country think Canada would be better off buying pilotless
aircraft instead of the new F-35 planes we are considering.
