Usa: è mistero su un missile balistico lanciato dalle coste della California

http://theintelhub.com/2010/11/09/mys… News is reporting that the Pentagon does NOT know who fired the missile and therefore cannot deem the immediate area safe.

Last night a mysterious missile was fired of the coast of southern California. Right now we do not know who fired it or why. This is a very curious incident that could possibly be used as a staged event.

Sources have indicated that there was not only a missile in Southern California but also in Phoenix. Whether this is true remains to be seen. What happened in Southern California was possibly a cover up for the event that took place in Phoenix.

Two rockets in two days?

Il Pentagono dichiara di non sapere chi ha effettuato il lancio, immortalato però dalle telecamere della Kcbs

MILANO – Per ora è mistero fitto. Ma c’è chi parla di un messaggio ben chiaro lanciato ad una potenza asiatica, in occasione del viaggio del presidente americano Barack Obama proprio in quella zona del mondo. Un missile è stato infatti lanciato lunedì sera dalle coste della California meridionale ma il Pentagono ne ignora l’origine. Lo riferisce la rete tv Cbs che ha mostrato le immagini della scia lasciata dal missile riprese dalla sua affiliata locale Kcbs.

IL LANCIO – Secondo la Kcbs il missile è stato lanciato da una posizione a 56 km a largo delle coste ad ovest di Los Angeles e a nord dell’isola di Catalina. Fonti della base dell’aeronautica di Vanderberg hanno detto che il loro ultimo lancio risale a venerdì sera quando un razzo Delta III ha portato in orbita il satellite italiano Cosmo-SkyMed. L’altra ipotesi, ma la Marina ha finora negato di saperne qualcosa, potrebbe essere il lancio di un missile Slbm da un sottomarino nucleare per esercitazione. La Cbs ha interrogato in proposito l’ex ambasciatore americano presso la Nato Robert Ellsworth che ha detto: «Potrebbe trattarsi del test di un missile intercontinentale lanciato da un sottomarino, per dimostrare principalmente alle nazioni asiatiche che noi siamo in grado di farlo». Ellsworth ha poi spiegato che all’epoca dell’Unione Sovietica test di questo tipo venivano fatti dagli Usa nell’Oceano Atlantico, ma che forse è la prima volta che questo accade nell’Oceano Pacifico.

The mysterious California missile launch that wasn’t

By John Herrman | Nov 9, 2010

.

Less than 24 hours ago, a local news helicopter spotted a stunning contrail off the coast of California, near Los Angeles. From the helicopter, and to other observers, the contrail appeared to run vertically, as though it had been left by a missile.

One problem! Authorities, including the Pentagon, say that they aren’t aware of a missile launch taking place anywhere near there. This would be deeply alarming if not for one thing: the contrail probably wasn’t left by a missile at all.

Here’s the photo (and accompanying video) that has sent the national press into a frenzy:

This is an alarming sight. It’s a plume that evoke Space Shuttle launches and ICBMs, and it’s right off the coast of a major city. This initial feeling, and the contrail’s outward dissimilarities with cloud and contrail formations usually seen from the ground, have led many news organizations to assume that it was left my some kind of rocket or missile, leading them to speculate further about accidental launches, secret weapons tests, or worse.

Before letting our imaginations run away with us, let’s have a look at another photo:

This photo was taken over a year ago, just next door in San Clemente, California. According to the blog Contrail Science, this contrail was also thought to have been caused by a missile, prompting concern in some circles, albeit to a much smaller degree than we’re seeing today.

The kicker? This contrail, which is arguably even more rocket-like than the one making news today, was caused by a typical commercial jet. Contrail Science explains:

The idea that it’s a missile launch comes from three misconceptions. Firstly that the trail is vertical – it’s not, it’s a horizontal trail, at around 32,000 feet (about six miles)…

Secondly there’s the misconception of direction, that it’s flying away from the viewer, when it’s actually flying towards the viewer. This is because the “base” of the contrail seems wider than the tip. Perspective tells the brain that this mean the base is closer. But actually you can see the base has been greatly spread by the wind…

Thirdly there’s the idea that it goes all the way down to the ground. Now that might be true if the Earth was flat, but the Earth is round, and things go beneath the horizon eventually, no matter how high they are. A plane 200 miles away but five miles up is always below the horizon.

This explanation for the contrail in San Clemente is consistent with today’s contrail in LA, meaning that the so-called rocket contrail is really just one of the hundreds of visible vapor trails left by jet engines above the LA area every day; just another long tail of condensation caused by superheated exhaust fumes. This one was just captured from an odd perspective, in unusual light, at the perfect time. From another location, or a satellite view, it would be utterly unremarkable.

But don’t take my word for it–here’s a Flickr search for “sunset contrails.” Look familiar?

Granted, until a missile launch is completely and totally ruled out, or a flight path compatible with the time and location of the contrail sighting is identified, there’s no way to know for sure what caused this spectacle. Until we hear one way or the other, though, those are our questions. The grand technological apparatus of the US military may be unwieldy, but not to this extent.
