Missile launch off of the California coast.

[Goodnbuzzd]

Nobody is claiming this missile that was launched off of the Cali coast. Airforce and Navy are both denying it was theirs. Looking at the video, it certainly isn't a small missile, Looks to be a ICBM, it's way too big to be a Tomahawk. My guess is it is sword rattling in response to some of the things going on in Asia

maybe the military was fighting back to obama and they were going to blame it on terrorists but after they realized people saw it and video taped it they just let it get out of sight and blew it up over the ocean.

Umm? WTF? I don't even know what to say about that logic. :icon_scratch::drunken_smilie:

According to NOTAMS (flight restrictions) There are flight restrictions in that area until the 10th.
NOTAM for LA.

These are in Zulu time so it was posted before the launch. I am guessing it is a planned launch. here's the conversion.
20:52:07 Monday November 8, 2010

Zulu time converts to

12:52:07 Monday November 8, 2010

Still don't understand why the denial, although it was clearly launched in an area that doesn't take a high IQ to realize that there are millions of people who will see it.

So a message saying to stay out of the area from November 9th-November 10th concerns a missile launch on November 8th? I mean yes I can see a connection there but don't you think they'd include the 8th as well?

I don't know any way to find expired NOTAMS. I understand the dates are off. But, it sure seems like it would be related.... It is in the same area and it is issued by the Navy.

Those dates and times are also posted in Zulu time.
