Be careful there using Slain69's Slayer69's material.

No. It was a weather balloon.

You, on the other hand, claimed something it couldn't be.

I say it's an old satellite get blasted out of orbit

Still not feeling your theory mate

reply to post by Zcustosmorum

Ah. Feeling.
Ok. You have a feeling it was a satellite getting blasted out of orbit. What is your feeling about the other videos of bursting weather balloons? Were those also satellites getting blasted out of orbit?

On January 11, 2007, China destroyed an old Chinese orbiting weather satellite. A year later on February 21, 2008, USA destroyed a malfunctioning US spy satellite USA-193 using a RIM-161 Standard Missile 3.

en.wikipedia.org...

Missiles have a nasty habit of vectoring straight onto a target before it gets there, no need for the war dance around it first.

Guess it may depend on what angle you're looking at it and what kind of missile it is

Also, I would guess that if it was a missile, then it would be an exercise in testing out stuff, so who's to say what the controllers did or didn't do.

And I would guess that an anti satellite missile, like many others, are fairly autonomous on the home run, since the general idea is to hit the fecking thing, not run around it in circles, (which isn't indicated in the video anyway) shouting here you hoar you, here you hoar you en rapido... (deliberate misspell btw)

I'm a little confused about the end of that video. The newscaster said they contacted the Vatican for a comment on what it could be.

Why ?

The Vatican or the Holy See is all over this stuff. Remember they've been consistently looking up for a long time

That said, so have the Muslims - best astronomers…

Way back before iPads at night people looked up and awed at the skies.


www.vaticanobservatory.org...

Spiritual people are more open to what's possibly out there than scientists are, so I'm glad they're into it, too. Plus they have $ for great equipment.

All these reasons you posted have little or nothing to do with why the Vatican is now a go to guy for this stuff.

I'm not defensive.
Why do you refuse to um...feel...that this was a weather balloon?

Very Impressive. That was a fast debunking. I am looking forward to the day you can't debunk the a video, then we will all know it is the real thing

Uhm, because I haven't been proved that it is, you have not provided any proof of this incident.

It could be, it could be a satellite also

Only for an idiot TV news guy.

It's a matter of interpretation and no verifiable explanation has been put forward

Yes of course.
Ignore videos of bursting weather balloons which look exactly like it.
Ignore that the timing and location are consistent with a weather balloon launch from Oakland.
Ignore that there is no indication at all that it was a missile hitting anything.

Interpret it any way you wish while ignoring established facts.

It could be, it could be a satellite also

Do you see a lot of satellites in daylight?

Dunno mate, haven't looked today

reply to post by Zcustosmorum

Right.
Don't know much, huh?

No need to be rude mate, that guy who took the video had a telescope to see the satellite

reply to post by Zcustosmorum

He also said it was a planet.
Satellites move quite rapidly across the sky. Planets not so much. Balloons at high altitude in light winds, not so much.

sorry Nibiru exploded

Nobody's trying to be defensive. Actually, and no offence, it is yourself who is punching clouds, Pauligirl went to the bother of sorting out the time factors, and it was a positive for a busted balloon, even so there was no evidence of a kinetic explosion that you would see between metal/heavy metal devices, aka a satellite and a missile, even if the missile had no actual explosive device, and just acted like a bullet. Also and obviously, if a missile strike, it was not an EMP attack to just knock the satellite out, probably most favoured now and let the owners sort out the after affects. You really need to put some meat on the table.

It's an exploding weather balloon. The 'orbiting object' is the string dangling. Compare to this video:
