I'm not so sure I agree with you Rob. The original footage is here:
http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2010/11/09/pentagon-cant-explain-missile-off-california-coast/ The trail looks like many other rocket launches I've seen in twilight.

I certainly hope it is a contrail, but it looks very much like a submarine launched ballistic missile. -- Richard Kowalski Full Moon Photography IMCA #1081 --- On Tue, 11/9/10, Matson, Robert D. <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Matson, Robert D. <[email protected]> > Subject: [meteorite-list] Not a missile -- a jet contrail > To: [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected] > Date: Tuesday, November 9, 2010, 6:31 PM > Hi All, > > We've seen this sort of thing before, folks.
