We were the battalion hq tank section, and the platoon sergeant was a good guy. Covered for him in formation and had every intention of punishing him at our level, but when the story came out he started laughing and settled for don't. Let it happen again ![]() |

They video I used above for reference is the best I've seen. I've seen several airliners, cargo jets and miltary tankers on clear days over water and over land in my 2000+ flying hours and never have I thought that might be a rocket/missle. If you zoom in close enough on a jet contrail you will notice 2 distinct lines usually that remain distinct for a while before they converge. As far as the slow moving goes, Since the object is approx 35 miles away, it looks like it is going pretty fast. If you think that is weird, try watching a C-5 on take-off roll, It looks like its going about 50mph when it lifts off. And I think the light you are seeing is actually the flame from a rocket/booster motor if you were looking from behind instead of off the front... ![]()

Sounds like a job for the Hardly Boys. I hope they get a clue fast.

If this location is correct (and I'm not sure how the news thinks they're qualified to come up with that), then all the residents of Catalina Island, as well as anyone who happened to be sailing that day, would have seen it, and they would have submitted tons of videos on Youtube with alternative angles on it.
