So What Is It?

Video shot by a news helicopter operated by KCBS/KCAL shows a contrail ascending high into the atmosphere.




This frame from a video shot by a news crew in a helicopter flying in southern California has made national news as no one from the U.S. Government can lay claim to what caused the observed phenomena. NASA and DoD denied any kind of a missile launch and the FAA stated that they had not issued any commercial rocket launch clearance.

To me this is an aircraft contrail-optical illusion. High altitude contrails at sunset can take on unusual appearances. This makes more sense than believing that there was a missile lauch that no one knew about!

Wanna' see a bigger mystery? Check out my blog on the blue light over Centreville that took place last week.......still scratching my head over that one!

  4. It is AMAZING how much coverage this has been getting!

    I think it is a combination of the visual aspect of the event itself and the Govt's assertion that it is not a missile launch.

    I am sticking to my airplane contrail explanation based on what the whole video shows and viewing countless contrails.
