Of course he believes it, it supports his wild theory.
WHY WOULD CHINA FIRE A MISSILE AT IT'S LARGEST TRADING PARTNER?
Would any of you care to take a stab at that?

Money is power. Man's dumb idea is where all his power comes from. China doesn't need to fire missiles to hurt the U.S. and if you knew anything about power you would understand that.

I see the thread in which this was discussed and whether it is a UPS flight or flight 808. Either way there is no evidence outside of the video that it was a missile. And that evidence does not clearly show it to be a missile. Hence this debate. There is evidence however of jets in that area at that time which could easily leave the trail seen. There is no reason to conclude it was a missile.
Well heres the truth..
We listened to 3 days of all the experst telling us Flight808 was flying in ideal conditions to produce that enormous contrail..
Now its been shown not to be flight 808..
So now we have listened to the same experts tell us that flight 902 was also flying in ideal conditions to produce that enormous contrail..
SO, the BIG question is not which plane it was but why was there only ONE ENORMOUS CONTRAIL..
There realistically, according to all the so called experts should have been TWO....
Debunk that with a straight face

Yea i did read it, and if you think the U.S.. government would make such a distinction you are out of your mind. I think a few of you should stick to playing call of duty and leave geo-politics to people with better sense. (and that sure as hell isn't me)
Playing devil's advoctae here. If this was a missile and if there were two planes making contrails, then there should be three contrails, not two. One from the missile, one from the passenger flight and one from the UPS flight. Where does this line of thought take us?

Did you read that article? It came from the ireport of the CNN site which means I could have been the originator of that story and you wouldn't even know.
key phrase - "has yet to be vetted" - again speculation.

My little brother eats a PB&J sandwich everyday. Monday, I ate it while he wasn't looking. Several days later he found that his daily sandwich been eaten again while he wasn't looking. Must've been me both times, right?
You ever heard os "Air Traffic Controllers"? These are people who control what is on radar. It was on a radar, trust me.
What kind of attention could the Pentagon or Media possibly want this kind of publicity stunt for? The report wasn't exclusive, and lets say it was an actual plane, don't you think it would discredit the news that reported on it since the Pentagon is calling it a plane? Not to mention the Pentagon first say they didn't know, so how does that make them look? No too good, it means they aren't doing their job/ This is no publicity stunt sir.
So to sum it up, to many conflicting things to read on this. Cant believe any of it. We are all just guessing at this point.

While you might not have an idea and be guessing...hmm, hmm, excuse me?
The reason for this type of forum is to discuss possibilities and read the "THEORY" at hand. It's not a statement of fact, it's an educated based reasoning with some circumstantial factual evidence.

To fire such a missile you would have needed a sub, one that miraculously penetrated American waters, evaded Sonar sweeps and American Naval forces.
