mystery contrail was from chinese missile

Two military experts say "the billowing plume emanated from a single source nozzle of a missile, probably made in China". World Net Daily (WND) article "Experts: Mystery contrail was from Chinese missile" by Joseph Farah offers more expert opinions on the plume spotted last week off the coast of California. Wayne Madsen, a former naval officer is quoted, "...isn't the first time U.S. Navy anti-submarine warfare sensors have failed." Dr. Lyle J. Rapacki of Sentinel Intelligence Services, LLC, states in article the decision to attribute all the excitement to an airplane's contrail, could only come from the commander-in-chief! WND provides an audio version of the article as well.

mystery missile may have been an errant launch?

Los Angeles Times article suggests, according to aerospace experts, mystery missile "...appeared to be an errant missile launch." The article from last Tuesday reported Pentagon's cryptic response to the fiery incident, "...[Pentagon] officials said the event was not a threat to national security. They also said it was not a launch by a foreign military... Each branch of the military has denied involvement..." Aerospace experts "...believe it originated near Naval Air Station Point Mugu in Ventura County, where missiles and missile defense exercises are regularly carried out... The military also operates a floating ocean platform and regularly carries out tests at San Nicolas Island, one of the Channel Islands." Aeropace experts shared their opinion after viewing the video on what could have been the source of the plume, "...a large military rocket or missile." An errant missile launch is a possibility.

michael rivero: mystery missile US live fire test

Michael Rivero of WhatReallyHappened.com, in his article "Chinese Missile Sub Launch? No, Probably US Live Tests", wants to put a stop to Chinese sub rumor. Rivero points to a Notice to Mariners booklet on page 55, which contains a reference to missile tests in the area. The talk show host believes Monday's missile sighting off the California coast, was likely a live fire missile test by the US military. The article makes points to dispel idea of a Chinese missile launch, perhaps, the strongest is the flat response of the US military. "The Navy did not act like the source of the missile was unknown to them." Rivero goes on about a dubious source seeding the rumor of a Chinese nuclear sub over the blogosphere and believes, "...'Chinese sub' story is being planted to give the US Government a scapegoat when they come back from the G20 with their tails between their legs." Again, the mind reels digesting the offered explanations and must ask which story is the psyop?

wayne madsen: china fired mystery missile

Infowars.com article "Wayne Madsen: China Fired Missile Seen in Southern California" reveals a Chinese nuclear sub most likely traversed a course from its base on south side of Hainan island along South Pacific, where US anti-submarine capabilities are not as strong, to arrive in international waters off of coast of Southern California. KCBS news helicopter cameraman Gil Leyvas, at around 5:00 pm Pacific Standard Time Monday, videotaped the missile plume directly off coast of Los Angeles. "WMR (Wayne Madsen Report) has learned that the missile was likely a JL-2 ICBM, which has a range of 7,000 miles, and was fired in a northwesterly direction over the Pacific and away from U.S. territory from a Jin class submarine. The Jin class can carry up to twelve such missiles... Navy sources have revealed that the missile may have impacted on Chinese territory and that the National Security Agency (NSA) likely possesses intercepts of Chinese telemetry signals during the missile firing and subsequent testing operations." Missile firing follows another incident during military maneuvers in South China Sea, where a Chinese Song Class sub surfaced within firing range of US carrier Kitty Hawk.. The Chinese sub evaded detection by surrounding US ships, running on nearly silent electric motors. The two incidents make strong statements about Chinese capabilities. It seems, a world war draws ever closer?

mystery missile from chinese property at sea?

Monday's mystery missile launch off the coast of California is still generating rumors.   What's circulating in the ether is less than reassuring!  Doug Hagmann writes in, "Of missiles & money -- don't ask, won't tell" at Canada Free Press,  "according to one source within the Pentagon, many of the top brass were in unscheduled, high level meetings throughout the day... The rumors circulating 'within the [Pentagon] rings' suggest that it was a deliberate launch of a missile from "Chinese property at sea" intended as a warning to the U.S." The article seems a commentary on the sad state of economic affairs in the United States as the author wasn't certain what was meant by "Chinese property"? Hagmann adds with a touch of black humor, "I can only assume that it did not originate from Catalina Island or U.S. military ships in the area, as we still own those, at least to my knowledge." Is it Sun Tzu 101?

missile launch off california coast a show of force?

Robert Ellsworth, former Deputy Secretary of Defense in the Ford Administration, speculates on mystery missile launch off coast of California.  Ellsworth offers, maybe, it's a show of force?   Ellsworth solicited for his opinion as reported by KCBS, seems to entertain possibility--with Obama in Asia.  The former ambassador to NATO  compares Monday evening's display to similar launches in the Atlantic, which have occurred  in the past for the benefit of Russia.  "It's a big missile...a test firing of a intercontinental ballistic missile from an underwater submarine, to demonstrate mainly to Asia, we can do that."  A display of force is less insulting to the reader's intelligence than other lame explanations served up for public consumption such as sophisticated amateur rocketeers or an airliner contrail's distorted appearance due to distance and the horizon's proximity! Is the display meant to acclimate the public to unannounced launches--so similar incidents no longer, as the octogenarian Ellsworth observed, "...takes your breath away"?
