Please apply some common sense. The object was too small to detect and was totally unexpected. Even if it was detected with enough time to launch a missile, why do this? Ed On Feb 17, 2013, at 2:25 PM, Harry Veeder wrote: On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 3:16 PM, James Bowery wrote: I believe he'

Notice that several independent contrails formed before the explosion as separate pieces moved through the atmosphere at slightly different speeds and locations in space. The object appearing to come from behind could be a piece of the meteor that had come off earlier and appeared to moved

What is so unusual about this video? The meteor exploded, which sent fragments in all directions, including straight ahead as the video shows. As for shooting down an object slowing from 17000 mph in the atmosphere, where is the common sense? Ed On Feb 17, 2013, at 7:17 AM, Jones Beene wrot
