Belly,they still don't know what it is.All the aircraft have been accounted for.They are denying the reality because it makes their air defences look pretty ordinary.Where is the evidence that it is not a missile? Surely with their satellite tracking technology they could have followed its path.

If China or Russia launched a missile just outside their waters,do you think that they would admit to their incompetence?

I can't believe you haven't got it yet, Arjay.

>>Well Pericles & 579 whose missile was it?<<

It was not a missile.

Missiles travel at very high speed.

This did not.

>>Gordon Duff says that the gas trail was too dirty to be one of theirs<<

That's because it wasn't a missile that caused the trail.

>>It was real and the US govt is pretending that it didn't exist.<<

The US government accepts that the contrail was created by an aeroplane. It doesn't have to "pretend" anything.

>>Either they knew about it and did nothing or worse news for their defence forces,did nothing because they didn't know.<<

They did nothing, because it was not a missile.

>>How can all this satellite tracking technology miss a foreign sub and it's missile?<<

For the very simple reason that i) there was no sub, foreign or otherwise, and ii) there was no missile.

>>These ICBMs can carry up to 15 nuclear heads.You two clowns are carrying on as if it didn't exist!<<

The number of warheads an ICBM can carry is an entirely irrelevant statistic, Arjay, because this wasn't one.

Are you beginning to get the picture yet?

Which part are you still unable to grasp?

>Which part are you still unable to grasp?<

The bit that deals with reality.

Pericles,why are there no definite identifications to this projectile?The satellites that survey this planet can read a news paper in our backyards.I can see my car and boat from google earth and they have much higher resolutions to spy on their foe.Commercial aircraft do not have anywhere near this steep trajectory because it is too fuel consuming.They cannot explain it and are totally embarrased by this event.

Flight to Phoenix. What else do you want to know?

You still appear confused, Arjay.

>>Pericles,why are there no definite identifications to this projectile?<<

It was a commercial aeroplane, not a "projectile".

projectile n.

1. A fired, thrown, or otherwise propelled object, such as a bullet, having no capacity for self-propulsion.
2. A self-propelled missile, such as a rocket.

A passenger jet fits neither of these descriptions. It does, however, fit the description of the most probable cause of the optical illusion...

The real puzzle in all this is, of course, not the mistaking of a contrail for a missile. That is easy to explain.

What remains unusual is your dedication to the story that it is not only some kind of missile, but that the missile forms part of a massive conspiracy by the US government against the rest of the world.

Or maybe it's just you they are after Arjay. Have you considered that possibility?

Ah yes, of course you have.
