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....

One of the reports I saw referred to smoke in contrails. That and having
witnessed a BUNCH of launches from KSC and Cape Canaveral AFS nailed the
"official" report as BS for me.

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

http://uncinus.wordpress.com/2010/11/09/4/

Maybe.

No maybe about it.

Not to mention a contrail from a jet usually spreads out a ways behind
the aircraft. The front of the trail is usually thin until the wind
spreads it... This trail was thick right off the ass of the missile, and
make no mistake, it was a missile, as it headed west downrange... oh,
and they know what it was too...

Did you read the freakin' article Scott?

Unmentioned in this whole thing is that nobody HEARD anything. If a
missile supposedly as large as this one supposedly was (ICBM), you
would have heard it - even from 35 miles away. Those things aren't
quiet.

If you're upwind you probably wouldn't hear it, especially in a place with a
lot of noise pollution.

Read the article... Saw dozens of reports, experts "on both sides" and I
believe myself it was "message" from some axis power saying "see, we can
sit in your back yard and you didn't even know we were there". That's
why it went due west.

Fact is, every single airliner is tracked to the inch by the second. If
there was a flight there someone would be able to say "this was flight
such and such" here is it's flight path... But they can't, there was no
plane...

Interesting conspiracy theory but if fails the Occam's Razor test
which basically says that the simplest explanation is more likely to
be correct. The two most plausible (and simple) explanations are
that it was indeed a jet contrail observed from an unusual angle; or
two, that it was a classified US govt misile launch which take place
fairly often in coastal California. One of my old high school friends
is alleged to participate in that sort of thing (if they actually
exist). :-)
