The test proceeded as follows: A Juno rocket was launched from Fort Wingate in Gallup, New Mexico. This served as the target for another missile, the Patriot Advanced Capability 3 interceptor, launched shortly thereafter from White Sands. A press release from White Sands confirmed the test and stated that "the

You guys do realize that the Patriot missile is an anti-missile missile? The same one used on Iraqi Scuds that rained down in Desert Storm.
If there were to be a war (a real shooting war), these missiles will defend the west coast from incoming ballistic missiles launched from subs somewhere in the pacific ocean. Just one aspect of the total defense of the US west coast, these would be seen to streak in profusion if there were any incoming warheads.
No, I didn't realize that Iran had ballistic missile armed submarines that were menacing the eastern Pacific Ocean. But I'll be sure to put on my tinfoil skull cap and watch out for them now. And might I recommend a good re-education camp to you?

Hmmm... Well, I personally consider myself to be one of the least intelligent, and most ignorant members here. But..... I can think of a few reasons.
Maybe a few people know this member either personally or through ATS contact and do not believe that this person would make something up, so they are showing their support for a friend who is having a rough start on their thread.
Maybe someone who lives in the area saw something similar and decided to give their support for that reason, trusting that a photo would be forthcoming.
Some members here may have a form of OCD where they have to give a flag to every thread they read. I personally will give a thread a flag if its at a certain number, or if my flag will bring it to a certain number, of if the person seems nice and they have 0 or very few flags, I will give them one.
Ok I came up with 3 possible reasons why someone would do that... And that's me, a flat out retard among geniuses here....like you! Surely someone as competent in the realm of intellect as yourself who feels their intellectual prowess to be at a level which allows them to criticize the behavior of others must have a full encyclopaedia of reasons!
Must be an off day for you... Or maybe just beginner's luck for me! No worries, I'm sure you'll be back at it full stride in no time!

You just said what I was thinking. Ive seen for more complete and researched threads made that have recieved allot less attention. Lame!edit on 13-9-2012 by imagineering because: spell check
Seriously will you all grow up. People star and flag for different reason.
1 the OP has been a long time member.
2 its obvious the OP is working hard to get the image up.
3 the OP has been kind enough to share personal information.
4 The topic is important to those who flagged it.
5 your an idiot if you only read threads that have been flagged and stared, your missing out on so much.
OP Thanks for this, you never know someone might come along with a similar sighting. even though some members think its useless and pointless, most of us here know that one sighting or encounter could link to someone else's.
Love and harmony
