Mysterious Missile Launch Over California - 11/8/2010

Seems like a historic agreement has been reached. Now the Russians want to cooperate on missile defense and have a formal end to the cold war.

Russia ready to cooperate with NATO on missile defense in interests of all - Lavrov

Moscow hopes Lisbon summit will formalize Cold War end

Rather odd coincidence in light of the so-called plane contrail...

You can see the plane, that bright orange glow with a green flash at the end of the contrail, that is the friendly neighbourhood star reflecting off the plane.

Funny, many said that was the planes nav lights..
Gets confusing..

Does that relate to this thread?

All aircraft are equipped with a steady light near the leading edge of each wingtip. When facing forward from the perspective of the pilot, the light on the right wingtip is green while that on the left wing is red. The different colors make it possible for an outside observer, such as the pilot of another aircraft, to determine which direction the plane is flying. These navigation lights are most useful at night when it is more difficult to tell the direction the plane is going without them.

Thanks for the news but I have passes to commercial pilot standards in all subjects so I sorta knew that..
I do find it odd that the vid shows a clear green and red flash. The vid appears side on so if anything you'd normally only see one.

You've just answered the question yourself, you seen a green AND red flash, indicating a plane, which is flying towards(ish) the camera, maybe slightly to the right (or left from the pilots view)

Something changed there mind suddenly to adopt missile defense and side with NATO. Only other major missile news story lately is this one. Connect the dots....

A typical lens flares can change the color of refracted light. I wouldn't put any money that was an aircraft light that was visible at 35 miles in twilight.

After 164 pages of discussion lets recap:

Evidence for plane:

Contrail
Lights
Documented evidence of flight 808 (or whatever it was)
A number of videos and photos showing the same optical illusion from other aircraft
Pentagon statement
common sense


Evidence for missile:

...
...
erm
...
paranoia?
Determination, despite evidence to the contrary, to prove it was a missile?

I know what you are saying but it's strange that everyone else called it a reflection from the sun...
I didn't think that but who am I ...

reply to post by Regenmacher


Those lights are designed to be seen from distance, to avoid mid air collisions amongst other things.

AAARRRRGGHHH!

Sorry, read my post, I SAID it was a reflection from the sun with a green flash from the lights!

EDIT: Heres the quote from my post:

I'm sure even you don't believe everything you just listed..It's getting a bit carried away...
Many experts in the field are still calling missile. Flight 808 has NOT been accepted as fact, and how could it given the evidence?
I accept it was probably a plane but I don't think it's anywhere near conclusive..

Makes you wonder huh...

reply to post by backinblack


Thats where the common sense kicks in, and i'm sorry for AAARRGGGHH'ing you in my previous post, this whole discussion is frustrating, I live in the UK, it doesn't even concern me, what bothers me is people being misled, stuff like this can cause people real anxiety.

reply to post by woogleuk


You think? Personally I thing the Government handled it very badly and a few of the contrail vids and pics have been altered...So I'm on the fence...I would argue that it is NOT confirmed as a plane though I would lean that way if I had to decide...

This post is confusing..Lights? Reflections?? One or the other please..

reply to post by backinblack


Are you doing this on purpose to wind me up?

The solid bright glow is the sun reflecting off the plane, you also see a green flash (some say they see red too) which is the aircraft light(s), so they are both there (sun glow and light(s))

lol, no I'm not mate.
It's been a long thread...
