I am truly impressed.
Never before in my life have I ever seen a flock of geese flying in such a perfect formation over what appears to be quite a long distance.

Let's try another mind game:
Let your Iraqi geese fly upside down first, and see how fast and in formation they go.
To my knowledge, a goose has a dark top and a white bottom, to protect him/her from higher flying predators. The goose its top does not reflect sunlight, Darwin's laws will have taken care of the ones who did.
Those UFO's where white on top, reflecting the sunlight, and keeping up perfectly straight in their 7 formation. No geese wings movements to be seen from that distance either.
The call sign of the registering plane was LADDER 21.
Pinch: I also sat next to, for about a year, the Navy's Tomahawk cruise missile program manager in the Pentagon. I asked him about this very same video and he said no, it wasn't tomahawks.

Slow moving geese?
What angle would that have to be when it was centered at 13 seconds in and uncentered again at 28 seconds (roughly 15 seconds) and still cross 5 roads (or trails) in that time?
I'm not schooled in such things but those objects are moving fast and not traveling at geese speed.
Some birdbrain needs to come up with a better explanation than "Geese".
The military is not in the business of producing nature videos and then storing and presenting them for later analysis.

Anything that can be programed or controlled can form a formation. Its not hard to understand that. Theres a reason why theres wings on the missile. To allow it to maneuver or change target.

Ok, as I said Soviet anti ship missiles did have the ability to fly in a swarm (do a search for: S-N-19 Shipwreck ). Soviet subs had the ability to launch these missiles which were developed to take out our Carriers. (Thus denying Nato the command of the seas, so they could then take over the world.) Anyway one missile would fly above the formation to designate targets and the others would fly below in a formation, similar to what we see here. It is possible that the US now uses something similar

And how far above the ground would that hypothetical Cessna have been? And how far above the ground were these hypothetical "geese"? (Cracks open high school trig book.) Sorry, try again.
A frame of reference illusion may indeed magnify the speed of the objects in formation, but the altitude of these objects is far too low for the relativistic explanation to hold water.

Could you give the Tomahawk program manager another call and ask him why the geese in question appear to have a trail of heat emitting from the back of them?
I wasn't aware there were such things as jet powered geese to be honest.

You're full of manure. Geese. Geese in the desert?
I'd say it's the relative idiot factor combined with several generations of family inbreeding brought on by an optic differential caused by uptaking large doses of Wild Turkey at family reunion/ singles social that makes you see Iraqi Geese.
You got the relative motion thing right. When relatives have naked motion on each other, you get kids with cocomamie ideas like yours.

IDK about that, cruise missiles don't fly that close, besides, this is a B-HOT image from a (NEW MExicO)F-16 FLIR...that is showing an azimuth that reveals it is slewed... i can't tell if it's to a radar target.... but cruise missiles? they wouldn't be that color in a B-HOT, unless the emissivity on the FLIR was set diff...

I've seen this video a while back with the munitions impacting.They are JDAMS dropped from a B-52.

Supersonic geese clearly.

Yeah, if you like Iraqi geese.

Do tell pinch- by all means, tell us everything you know about BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles. Be sure to include links to source documentation too...
P.S. I apparently needed to make my 20th post here (this one) so that I could U2 another forum member about her avatar...

Please hurry.
Its not laBTop's - is it?

LaBTop posted a video with flying Iraqi geese claiming them to be cruise missiles. Pinch was responding to them.
So, I would have to say it is LaBtop.

Nope DJ, not LaBToP's (I didn't think LaBToP was female BTW, but I've been mistaken before). This her? avatar was on another [non-911] forum here. Upon further research, she is showing "spookish" tendencies IMHO, so I'm currently re-evaluating my "approach." I'm actually more interested in information regarding "her" avatar.
Back on-topic, Morin has been cherry-picked for "parallel" verbiage. Can anyone tell me HOW MANY lines are parallel to another line in this universe? (Hint- it's a REALLY BIG number.)
