The videos don't even come close to matching the stills. The videos look like a spiraling rocket. The blue coil in the stills clearly shows a light source above it that casts shadows underneath it, yet the sun is below the horizon and would light the coil from behind if that was the light source. What's so bright above the coil that's illuminating it to the point where it casts shadows underneath it despite the fact that the sun is beneath it?

I'm guessing it's a rocket that was spiraling out of control and was blown up. I've seen similar sights here in SoCal when they've shot stuff up in the atmosphere out of Vandenburg AFB. The thing that's odd about those stills is zero drift of the spiral trail or explosion halo if indeed they are accurate which I just don't believe. Even while a contrail is being made you can see drift begin immediately; they don't look like perfect computer generated images. Something happened that wasn't supposed to happen and this just makes it look all the more suspicious.

More agencies picking it up, including Russian vid

Nice, I wonder why it took so long for them to admit it? (Besides the fact that by law they have to report it). Seems this makes everyone focus on them and what they're developing.

Brokinarrow · 12-10-2009, 05:29 PM

maybe they were hoping no one would notice... and then it went and spiraled and made a weird cloud design.

You read the "approved" version of whatever that spiral is in the sky. the explanation in that article sounds retarded. that looks like a weapon but not a missle.

Spike probably knows but can't tell us.

Then again, maybe he DID tell us.

The missile malfunctioned, causing it to spin and spray propellant chemicals in a spiral pattern. Pull that tinfoil hat on a lil snugger
