Missile or Plane?

I’m surprised this hasn’t been in a thread so here it goes. There was a missile, or a plane that left a streak across the sky earlier this week off the coast of LA. I think it was a missile as the video shows a flicker of light near the bottom of the projectile indicating to me it is a missile. I’m no expert but that is just my guess.

What say ye?

Plane.

If you've ever seen a missile launch, they move a whole helluva lot faster.

I've never seen a commercial aircraft leave that kind of contrail or shoot flames out of its ass. The trajectory is obviously hard to judge accurately, but the rest of it just has some characteristics I've never seen from an airliner.

I believe the "flames" you're seeing are actually a reflection off the airliner.

If it's a missle, it's the slowest missle every launched. When fired, those fuckers get out of sight so fast it'll make your head spin.

Damn Mexicans are not only flooding our border with drugs, but looking to cripple us with sub launched projectiles.

It is all Bush's fault. We should have invaded Mexico instead of Iraq. :lol:

It's China again :shock: :o

Link
China flexed its military muscle Monday evening in the skies west of Los Angeles when a Chinese Navy Jin class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, deployed secretly from its underground home base on the south coast of Hainan island, launched an intercontinental ballistic missile from international waters off the southern California coast. WMR’s intelligence sources in Asia, including Japan, say the belief by the military commands in Asia and the intelligence services is that the Chinese decided to demonstrate to the United States its capabilities on the eve of the G-20 Summit in Seoul and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Tokyo, where President Obama is scheduled to attend during his ten-day trip to Asia.

The reported Chinese missile test off Los Angeles came as a double blow to Obama. The day after the missile firing, China’s leading credit rating agency, Dagong Global Credit Rating, downgraded sovereign debt rating of the United States to A-plus from AA. The missile demonstration coupled with the downgrading of the United States financial grade represents a military and financial show of force by Beijing to Washington.

I would agree with that. Put some teeth in the "War on Drugs". :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: Not to mention, it'd be easier for the soldiers to come home on leave. :geek:
