Skip to comments.World Net Daily fabricates a "Missile" Contrail tale
Posted on 12/12/2010 10:47:16 AM PST by Brian Kopp DPM
California contrail: Four conflicting eyewitness reports
One month after the KCBS video purporting to show a missile contrail off the coast of California went viral, a heated debate over what exactly created the contrail persists. Experts have offered convincing analysis supporting the theory that the contrail represents an SLBM launch, while internet pundits have assembled a formidable collection of evidence that the contrail was created by UPS flight 902. The debate is seemingly at an impasse, and it might be a good time to step back from the intense data analysis and review the basic facts of November 8, 2010.
There are two known eyewitnesses who captured images of the contrail. Gil Leyvas is the helicopter camera man for KCBS in Los Angeles who videotaped the contrail and Rick Warren lives on Long Beach and photographed the contrail from his tenth story balcony. A 50 minute phone interview with Leyvas was obtained for this report and discussed further via email, and Warren was also contacted by email.
According to Leyvas, his video was obtained while filming a sunset view for a KCBS weather report. As he was filming, Leyvas noticed an object on the horizon that appeared to be climbing vertically out of the ocean, and he zoomed in on the object. He videotaped the contrail for a total of ten minutes and subsequently continued to view the contrail for an additional ten minutes. Leyvas maintains that the object itself that created the contrail only remained in view for two to three minutes. For 30 to 45 seconds, the object glowed brightly and then seemed to disappear from view. His initial impression was that the object was traveling east towards the coast. On reviewing the video later, he had the impression the object may instead have been heading away from the coast, towards the northwest.
The highly unusual appearance of the sunset contrail shown on TV and posted online, combined with Leyvas perception that the object creating the contrail only remained in view for two to three minutes, constitutes the primary basis upon which many observers believe the object was a Sub Launched Ballistic Missile.
Rick Warren wasnt sure what the object was that he was photographing on November 8th. I was shooting with a telephoto lens and looking through a viewfinder so I never really saw the separation of the object and the contrail until I looked at the photos, but Im sure that this whole thing lasted way too long to be a missile. I see lots of contrails from my 10th floor balcony but the difference in this one was that it seemed to be going up.
Having seen many contrails, what stood out for Warren was the vertical nature of the contrail, not that it looked like a missile exhaust plume. Some of his photos of the contrail were posted on the local ABC7 website, and were utilized by Mick West of Contrailscience.com to create a composite image of the flight progression of the object. The time stamps on Warrens photos were used to establish that the object creating the contrail remained in view for 4 minutes 43 seconds in Warrens photos. Based on altitude and position, the object first appeared in Leyvas video at least five minutes prior to Warrens photos. After seeing Wests analysis of the images, Warren says, Im now of the opinion that it was indeed a plane."
At this point, one of the most glaring discrepancies between these eyewitness accounts must be addressed. Most observers looking at Warrens images agree that the small dark object which appears at the top of each of his later photos is the same craft creating the plume that was seen in his earlier photos as well as that which was seen in Leyvas video.
If the object that created the contrail was still visible in Warrens photos, then the object itself is not likely to have been a missile. Solid fuel engines such as those used in an SLBM create an uninterrupted exhaust plume for two to three minutes, after which time the solid fuel is spent, and the missile is usually out of view.
On the other hand, when an airliner transitions from cold moist air to warmer drier air, the dew point changes and contrail formation decreases. In the case of USP902, the airliner would have been transitioning from moist cool air at altitude over the ocean to warmer, drier air over land. This could explain the contrail disappearing as the object moved farther east.
Mick West created a "chronological cut" of Leyvas video and posted it to YouTube. The transition from moist cool air over the ocean to warmer, drier air over land may have occurred at 1:17 to 1:20 of the chronological cut, which Warren referred to as the separation of the object and the contrail. When still images from Leyvas video are compared to the overlay of Warrens photos, there is a remarkable similarity and continuity between the two sets of images, providing a better time frame for Leyvas video within the context of Warrens time stamps:
When Leyvas was initially queried regarding these later photos, he replied,
the [Contrailscience composite] animation only shows the path the plume drifted and not anything in flight. The 30-45 seconds of video I captured in which I could see the object (the portion of the video showing the glow/flame of the object at its pinnacle) occurred 8-10 minutes prior to the animated images of the animation (if the time stamps are accurate). I have no way of telling if those time stamps are accurate since the raw video has no real-time time stamp associated with it. I can only go by an estimated time based on the time we launched out of John Wayne airport and the approximate time of our weather shot. My guess is that the time stamps are relatively close to the accurate time. However, what you are seeing in those images is the plume drifting and not anything in flight.
Leyvas still maintains the object creating the contrail is not visible in Warrens photos 8 to 10 minutes later:
The separate smaller trail that is separate from the main body of the plume and that was captured by Warren in his photos, which makes it seem as if the object continued in flight, appears in my video to possibly be the top portion of the plume that partly dissipates leaving a segment of the tip adrift - detached from the main body of the plume. (I highlight "possibly be" because during that portion of the video, I zoom in and out and pan off and back onto the plume, so I'm not sure if what we are seeing is a stage of separation like that of a missile or if it's the tip of the plume separating from the main portion). I did zoom into that portion to see if I could see a craft of some kind (at the time I thought that there was a chance the object was still making condensation/exhaust) but there was nothing there creating that segment. Had there been, I know I would have been able to see it with the high-powered lens I was using. Add to that - if it was traveling toward us, the closer it would come the easier it would be to see it, but there was nothing there. That's why I said it was merely the plume adrift and not anything continuously flying.
Though there was no time code associated with the raw footage I shot, you are still able to accurately time the footage from the moment I started the recording (as we departed John Wayne airport) to the final moments of the mystery missile story. When I play the video I can time the duration of the object in flight which was between 30-45 seconds of "Glow Time" - which is inclusive within, and at the end of the 2-3 minute estimated flight time from which the plume was visible at the horizon ... I can rely on the raw footage as it plays to gauge my estimated times since it plays back in real time on the player deck's control track timer.
There were also two unknown witnesses who captured images of the contrail, both anonymous posters on the image hosting website Flickr. A photographer on Hermosa Beach, north of Leyvas and Warren, uploaded a photo of the November 8 sunset and only subsequently realized he had captured the same contrail due to media reports. From his vantage point, without the setting sun directly back-lighting the contrail, it apparently appeared similar to the other contrails in his sunset photo.
Another anonymous photographer uploaded photos of clouds at sunset on November 8, and noticed a bright horizontal contrail that he subsequently associated with the media reports regarding the contrail. Notice that in the case of these latter two eyewitnesses, the first noted nothing unusual about the contrail until he read media reports about it, and the second viewed a horizontal, not vertical contrail.
Finally, the opinions of the known military experts must be taken into consideration. Several highly credible experts have stated their opinion that the contrail in question represented the launching of an SLBM.
A little further background from Leyvas might shed more light on the way the video was edited and presented to the public. Leyvas related that the video was taken during sweeps week in his TV market, and part of his job during sweeps week is to go out and look for and capture video of interest for sweeps week ratings. The video he captured of the contrail was subsequently heavily edited before being aired, and less than two minutes of the ten minutes of video has been seen by these experts. From the perspective of garnering sweeps week ratings, the footage was certainly successful.
It may be that the experts would modify their opinion based on viewing the entire footage. The footage is owned by the local CBS affiliate and nothing was found by the Department of Defense in reviewing the footage that would prevent its release to the public. According to Leyvas, it might still be available on their server. If that is the case, it should just be a matter of uploading the unedited ten minutes of video to YouTube to put an end to the debate.
Mysterious missile launch baffles even eyewitnesses
Video, still photographers watched contrail soaring over Pacific Coast
Yes, they sure do. Both corkscrew plumes and wide plumes at the base are two of the easiest things to find in videos of missiles.
Delta 2 STSS Demo Rocket Launch - SpaceflightNews.net
A great example of corkscrewing of the plume begins about 1:25 into the video. The differences in plume thickness and consistency can clearly be seen later.
I posted the following to Ronald_Magnus before. No response then so I guess he had no answer for it.
Title : Stability of Spinning ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) in First Stage Boost Phase.
Corporate Author : AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
Abstract : A computer program is developed to model a spinning intercontinental Ballistic Missile (IICBM) during the first stage boost phase. The equations of motion are derived and presented and a full rotation matrix is used to show the relationship between a launch-centered, nonrotating earth inertial reference frame and the missile body reference frame.

You do realize that TXnMA busted that pic as a crossfade aka crosswipe which is an editing tool used to transition smoothly between two separate pieces of video tape. What you see there is not two vortices from the two wings of an airplane it is two separate pics of the same plume overlaid one on the other like a double exposure.
Wide plumes at the base look a lot wider when you are close enough to actually hear the rocket launch you are filming. Even then, and even in a rocket the size of a Delta 2, they aren't even close to as wide as the contrail in the Leyvas video (the earliest portions of which are actually over 100 miles away from LA). Nor does the trail of an actual missile look ANYTHING like what was filmed by Leyvas. Below is a picture of the missile from your video and a picture of what Leyvas filmed. Would someone please point out to me where the Leyvas video shows "corkscrewing"
The willful ignorance required to continue to argue that the contrail filmed by Leyvas was a missile launch is a testament to the kind of stubborness required to believe 99.9% of the conspiracies out there. But because it is kind of fascinating to watch it all play out, I'm going to feed the fire a bit. In a FR exclusive, I am going to reveal a test firing of what many conspiracy theorists believe was launched (probably by China) off the coast of California. Be sure to watch for the evident corkscrewing of this mystery missile. Nov 8 rocket launch solved
Yes. Neither did I see that in the LA jet contrail.
Everyone else sees it. Or are people showing us examples of wing vortices for nothing?
Wide plumes at the base look a lot wider when you are close enough to actually hear the rocket launch you are filming.
The question was about being bigger than the upper part of the plume.
As far as camera position for some odd reason NASA and the DoD like to get fairly close to take film and video of them and use much higher quality cameras. So do amateurs when they know they will be taping a launch. Consequently it's extremely difficult to find video of a missile launch taken from miles away.
Even then, and even in a rocket the size of a Delta 2, they aren't even close to as wide as the contrail in the Leyvas video ...
You are another one asking for video that exactly duplicates the Leyvas' video. As if all the same conditions exist whenever a missile is launched. I spent three hours viewing missile videos last night at the request of Dr. Brian Kopp and his response to my efforts was basically to brush me off as not worth responding to.
It's pretty clear that most of you are purposely trying to run your opposition in circles and deflect from any points made to you. Forgive me if after ten years on FR I find that to be a rather shopworn tactic.
(the earliest portions of which are actually over 100 miles away from LA).
That is entirely your opinion based on your own biased assumptions. Leyvas estimated it to be about 35 miles off of the coast. He was there, you weren't. He isn't claiming to know what it was, you are.
Furthermore, you need to ask any aviation /missilery guy wnat spinning the airframe does to gyro-stabilized inertial guidance systems. except as a trick to degrade performance (to kep the missile within a small test range).
I defy and challenge you to produce evidence of a guided missile that is designed to operate in a spiral motion during boost phase. Unguided rocket powered projectiles...maybe... Guided missiles? No way.
Careful there, R_M — you know that fire can't melt steel. Nor, apparently can truth melt tinfoil...
BUT, see #357 for photos that unequivocably support your position.
Hey, got any proof or data that proves your missile theory?
Of course not, you never had.
Where was the massive military response? Where were all the firsthand reports from boaters, etc. Where is the ionized gas trail?
Just look back five posts. You were the one I posted that to first on Nov. 17th.
In a discussion that centers on a video (albeit one that uses only 12-14 seconds of video, scrambled and looped to make a 40-second sweeps hoax) -- and which is countered by numerous still photos and video frames, your position brings to mind:
Hey there, good to see you alive and kickin'! :)
World Net Daily fabricating and sensationalizing a story? Of course! Its a terrible "news" source, written to get people angry, but without regard for accuracy. At least the National Enquirer is fun, WND is just garbage.
o please...when I see the video and the trajectory as well as the huge contrail, it is obviously not a jet. Are you a spin doctor or have you lost your commonsense or what? Did you also believe that there was no missile in that shoot down of the passenger jet over Manhattan years ago? And did you believe the fabricated story of a fuel tank issue because Clinton was to weak to deal with the Islamists who did it? Just wondering?
IOW, the example cited advocated the opposite of your claims for it.
Finny will get a kick out of this... My very first post on this incident was on 23 Nov 2010 and included this picture:
Obviously, that is a "missile", "spiraling" into a North Carolina mountaintop. Or not. I thought that issue was LONG dead. I guess not. You spent hours looking for video of a missile shot that was similar to the video Leyvas took. I sincerely applaud your effort. Really. But it ought to tell you something when the best you could do, looked nothing like the Leyvas video. The video you posted with the corkscrewing missile trail was pretty cool. But there is no similar smoke trail in the Leyvas video. And that has been my point since I first started posting about this topic. The people who say what Leyvas filmed looks "exactly like a missile launch" have no video or pictoral evidence of an actual missile launch that looks like the Leyvas video. As you are no doubt aware after a three hour search...missile launches are very distinctive. And they simply don't look like what Leyvas filmed.
"Consequently it's extremely difficult to find video of a missile launch taken from miles away."
Not really. I've posted a few. And here are some pictures of the same Vandenberg missile launch viewed from relatively close, and then from hundreds of miles away (from San Diego). In both, note the lack of a miles wide smoke cloud at the launch point. Or anywhere else for that matter.
"It's pretty clear that most of you are purposely trying to run your opposition in circles and deflect from any points made to you."
That's not at all what is happening. In fact, what you will notice if you follow Finny's advice and review my posting history, you will see that I have been consistent all along. I certainly didn't reintroduce the "spiraling" missile trail argument. I thought that was long dead. It took one picture to demonstrate that was a relatively normal feature of contrails.
"That is entirely your opinion based on your own biased assumptions. Leyvas estimated it to be about 35 miles off of the coast. He was there, you weren't. He isn't claiming to know what it was, you are."
That is my opinion supported by multiple sources of evidence, information, data...etc. All of which point to the very well supported conclusion that the contrail Layvas filmed came for UPS902. You, on the other hand, rely solely on Leyvas' guess that the event happened 35 miles off the coast. That would put the launch site within about 10 miles of Catalina Island. You've already provided video of a what a ballistic missile launch looks like from within 10 miles. Catalina Island is a popular tourist destination. A vast majority of Americans carry cellphones with cameras. Do you really believe that NONE of the tourists on Catalina Island would have filmed the results of a missile launch that generated what you believe is a MASSIVE smoke trail, as it rose above them, crackling, roaring, shaking windows and the very ground they stood on? Not one? Instead, all we have are the video from a single cameraman, one photographer, and an automatic airport camera, ALL TAKEN FROM LOS ANGELES. Does that really pass a logic test for you? Seriously?
Remember, its easy to be a conspiracy theorist, you never have to prove your point, you just have to get others to disprove you. And when they do, you just make up a new conspiracy and insinuate that they are part of the evil conspiracy.
Never changes...
Oh, that's all it was. (eyes rolling)
which described the undesirable and deleterious effects that a missile in a mechanical spiral has on guidance systems.
That is absolutely false.
Problem areas include possibly excessive nozzle gimbal rates caused by the feedback controller and the need to change the initial kick angle if the missile is spinning in order to achieve the same burnout conditions as a nonspinning missile.
Pretty clearly the author is describing an expected condition and comparing it to another type of missile.
Here is another article about using rotation of an ICBM to minimize its vulnerability to laser weapons.
Thermal Effects on a Rotating Missile
Here is a paper on using spin to stabilize missiles.
Spin Stabilized Impulsively Controlled Missile (SSICM).
Here is another paper on spinning missiles in the boost phase.
Boost Control Design for Spinning Missile
Here is another article that mentions purposely spinning an ICBM during the boost phase.
National Missile Defense Based on the Airborne Laser
"There are several countermeasures that the attacker might use to make the ABLs task more difficult:
* Spinning booster: By spinning the entire missile during boost phase, the offense can reduce the time the laser beam can dwell on a specific point on the missile. This will increase the ABLs power requirement, which must be met by increased dwell time or a more intense beam."
Can we now dispense with the utter foolishness that ICBMs (why only ICBMs? other missiles spin too) don't spin?
That was nothing but a red herring anyway since a missile doesn't have to spin to leave a corkscrew plume. The video linked above of the Delta II rocket should have made that obvious. It doesn't spin AFAIK but it left a corkscrew plume at one point.
You have to watch these guys, Arthur, they are major BSers.
I would definitely say NOT. That airplane contrail looks squiggly not corkscrewed like the plume in the Leyvas video.
Oh, really? All of my posts and that's all you've gotten out of them? That's the biggest horse shit statement anyone has made yet! ROTFLOL
You have been doing pretty good. Don't make a complete fool out of yourself like Stove Rat.
OK, I'll try to ease up. I'll err on the side of assuming that I had you pegged wrong. [That in mind ... ]
Thank you for your professional assistance to this thread. You seem absolutely convinced that this was not a missile. Others are convinced that it is a missile. Since they are bucking this stinking deceitful government, I believe them.
For example, Tigerseye. Nothing posted here has impressed him to change his mind. He's been willing to change his mind in the past, and I've swapped posts with him for years. He has no dog in this hunt. Why would he lie about his studies on this? Do you honestly think he's ignoring you?
Do you honestly think we can trust our government? You think they give us the truth everything something odd is reported? This is so typical of our government. News comes out that might endanger the stock market and they tell us we can't believe our lying eyes. That's how many of us look at it.
We don't want to see the stock market damaged. If some nation [such as China] is blackmailing the US, I don't blame the government for keeping it quiet. But there needs to be some level of truth leaked out. I myself don't want it leaked too quickly — not this. But we can't keep people blinded to our need for missile defense, counter-terror, and defense in general. In the long run, that is far more important than the current stock reports.
Secondly, this thread was started to discredit WND.
Actually, WND was simply quoting what Warren said. I should have finished it, ..." — Warren [in WND article]. But as I posted, they were simply reporting what people said.
Deception by omission.
I wouldn't expect a cameraman to tust what he saw after the Feds and their operatives verbally work him over. We've seen this kind of game time and again, haven't we? I didn't want to mention any other instances, but you are right, TWA 800 is an excellent example of how they try to make people confused.
How did that go again? The computer simulator had TWA 800 falling up? They tried to blame it on the wiring and lobbied to have all the planes rewired [would have ruined every jet and caused real accidents] until the airlines gave the politicians sweeteners. [fuzzy memory alert]
"You have to watch these guys"
Roger that!
[Grin. No idea what the image is yet, either.]
So, you think the feds "got to" the cameraman?
"Deception by omission."
[Deception by confusion.]
Public record. The government has been trying to discredit the missile theory, right?
I repeat: "Feds and their operatives verbally work him over.". Not exactly "got to". People can be manipulated even via television — feeling isolated, etc.
I respond by saying, "You, on the other hand, rely solely on Leyvas' guess that the event happened 35 miles off the coast." which prompts you to respond with a post that violates FR posting rules. So tell, me...what evidence ARE you relying on to believe the event took place 35 miles of the coast?
"Don't make a complete fool out of yourself like Stove Rat."
Um hmmm. So do you think I should take up name calling and posting obscenties?

1)"I'm still not sure what the object is, jet or missile or for that matter, something else."
2)"Im sure that this whole thing lasted way too long to be a missile. I see lots of contrails from my 10th floor balcony but the difference in this one was that it seemed to be going up...Im now of the opinion that it was indeed a plane."
Neither witness has ever stated it was a missile, but Warren has stated it was indeed a plane.
And from these eyewitnesses, you conclude...its a missile!
And declare anyone who disagrees with your opinion "obtuse."
And you think I came into this with an agenda? LOL!
Keep in mind that the vast majority of people who've seen missile launches and who've weighed in on virtually every online forum, from YouTube to LA Times to FR to the San Fran Chronicle, state immediately and confidently: the video looks like the missile launches they've seen.
The majority of FReepers who think it was a contrail have never seen a missile launch (ask them -- I have), but -- like every cognizant American with decent eyesight -- have seen lots of airline contrails that, when frozen in a still photos, LOOK like pictures they've seen of missile plumes. They are flattered (or flatter themselves) that a) they are being calm and reasonable, and that b) they are smarter than the average bear, including that poor dumb bastard cameraman who coudn't even tell the dif between a common airline contrail and a missile plume. Their condensation trail conclusion, built on all kinds of pretend things including an imaginary "optical illusion" involving the curvature of the earth, is ENTIRELY SELF GRATIFYING on three counts: they get to think they're smarter, they get to think they're calmer, and they get to think they're safer.
And those of us who've lived in close range to frequent missile launches laugh at people who "reasonalby" point out as proof, "Well, if it was a missile launch, why didn't anybody hear a sonic boom, huh? That's proof right there that it must have been an airliner!" *sigh* In my 53 years, I've seen many dozens of missile launches, with the naked eye and with binoculars, from distances ranging from 19 miles to 160 miles, not including a shuttle launch in Florida at a distance I estimate of 10 to 12 miles. And do you know, in ALL of those launches, I never once heard a sonic boom. See, those of us who've seen missile launches are a lot harder to fool than those who haven't, especially those who haven't who ALSO think they're the smartest guys in the room and everybody else is pretty stupid.
As for Leyvas supposedly being "unsure," if he had claimed to be "sure" of what it was, red flags should have gone up all around. OF COURSE HE'S NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS! He'd be lying if said he was, just like these contrail folks are lying when they say they're sure it was an eastbound airliner. I'm only 99.9 percent sure it was a missile, myself, and come to that conclusion by elimination of other possibilities. But back to how "unsure" Leyvas was -- I'll bet there are several things Leyvas is sure it wasn't, though nobody put the question to him that way. I venture to say he was 99 percent sure it wasn't a commercial jet heading east, a common occurance that the guy sees probably a dozen times in any working day.
I specifically asked Leyvas if the government told him not to talk about it. He said the government didn't tell him what he could or could not say, one way or the other. he was quite open and frank throughout our correspondence. He didn't have to return my first call, and did so on his own.
Furthermore, the government did not "seize" KCBS's raw video or his copy of it, and did not forbid them from showing it. If they were trying to cover up the video, Leyvas wouldn't still have access to his copy of it.
If .gov are trying to "cover up" the missile theory, they are being awful complacent about it.
KCBS has access the raw, uncut video, and they could release it if they wanted to. But that would show how they manipulated the video for sweeps weeks ratings.
And the object creating the plume was heading AWAY from So Cal, not toward it. It's to be expected that it was barely noticed by So Cal's millions -- at least, if you're familiar with the area and the ocean. Folks who've never lived here nor lived oceanfront, have zero idea of the on-site realities.
ON THE OTHER HAND, other folks I know who are more knowledgeable than I am with regard to military defense, aviation, and missiles, think it wasn't one of ours. *sigh* None of them thinks it was an airliner and in fact, snort in amused contempt when they learn that there are people who've actually seen the video and still think (or claim) it was an eastbound airliner!!!
Having watched Vandenberg missile launches for many, many decades, however, I've come to be pretty impressed with our missileers and still think that what Leyvas caught on film was a test that probably bodes ill for our enemies. :^) But I am disgusted and dismayed at an "official" line so lame that it tries to pass it off as an eastbound UPS plane. It's an insult to people's intelligence.
So you think what Leyvas filmed was a missile launched about 35 miles off the coast of California?
Post your link(s) to the article(s) where ANYONE in an "official" position claimed it was UPS 902.
And if you even dare suggest that I, TXnMA, am in any way in support of the US government -- (specifically the socialist regime of Øbozo the Usurper) -- I'll simply refer you to my ten-year posting history here on FR and recommend that you read the OKC report section mentioned in my FRProfile. Then ask the USGovt. how they liked it! LOL!!!
In fact, quote one singe pro-government statement I have made. On this thread, I have deliberately remaned technical. I have no (zero) political agenda on this subject.
OTOH, based on your postings on these threads championing that CBS video hoax as the ONLY evidence, should we be asking what CBS entity you work for?
You are barking up the wrong stump, missy...
His opinion. He even said it was his opinion.
"...Im now of the opinion that it was indeed a plane." -Warren."
I don't really post to you, if you hadn't figure it out, because I know you for the black hole you are. You are designed to waste time, create eddies of confusion, toss in wondrous amounts of hooptidoodle (I know TX likes that word -- he's got good taste; it is an excellent word!). I don't write to you, I write to lurkers, if any are left (which is doubtful).
Your array of colorful and even kinetic posts (the one with the eye-trick of optical illusion, the squirmy thing, was over the top, IMO! Kudos!) has been entertaining and enraging, which is a strange sensation.
You stink like yesterday's diapers.
Are you still on this line of 'If you don't believe its a missile you are a liar/fraud/ignorant/uninformed because I say so' line of bovine scat?
It was an airplane. Everything that makes a modicum of sense says it was an airplane. And to allay your irrational fear of "OMG the Chi-Coms launched a SLBM to eliminate 7 generations of my family' fears, if you can see the launch plume of such a missile, you aren't the target. It will be far beyond you before it reaches apogee. PCA is not going to be where you can see the launch unless it is a short range surface to surface missile, which aren't going to be launched from a boomer.
If it was one of ours, there would have been a NOTAM, not just a notice to mariners. There would have been no commercial traffic at that time, and there was.
I do not believe you have ever really seen a missile launch up close. You may have seen the residuals, but never the real thing. I also do not believe you have spoken to an 'aviation lighting expert'. Post his name, but I think you will say he hasn't given you 'permission'. You have accused far too many people of lying that haven't a single reason for doing so.
It is time to put up or shut up. Stop your BS and put some real flesh on the line. If you can't you are a lying sack. Which is what I think you are, because you have been nothing but bluster. Put up or shut up time.
Nice chest pounding, there!
You are very confused. People who are 100% certain (like me) that the contrail Leyvas filmed was a contrail do not believe it looks like a missile plume at all. Real...imagined...you name it. It looks nothing like a missile plume, unless you zoom in on it from over 100 miles away, and patch together a confusing video of 14 seconds worth of still images and momentary flashes from over 10 minutes of actual video. Amazingly, those 14 seconds are enough to convince a gullible few that what would be an easily noticable and hugely significant event occured within 35 miles of one of the largest cities in the world...but only two people of nearly 20 million bothered to get a picture of it.
And that is part of your problem. You choose not to live in the real world, but instead focus on a world of your making. That is what allows you to ignore reams of analysis and factual data that point in a thousand different ways to the conclusion that what Leyvas filmed on 8 Nov was a contrail. Instead, you focus entirely on a badly edited 52 second string of 14 seconds worth of zoomed in video to conclude you are seeing a missile in flight.
You can ignore the real people posting to you on FR, and instead engage in lectures to an imagined audience of lurkers, but as I have pointed out before, that simply adds validity to the conclusion that you are delusional.
Sorry, if you think that video is a plane you have lost some commonsense along the way!
Not going to cut it any more. I call you out as a liar. Prove what you say, or STFU.
Actually, there is no need to discredit the missile "theory" as its crap. But, you go ahead and apply your "government lies" about every possible thing.
Next time the government issues a hurricane warning, I want you outside to prove how they always lie...lol
The one thing a Conspiracy Theorist hates more than anything is when someone asks them to prove their point.
That is when they try to distract, hem and haw, accuse you of being a conspirator, call you names, and change the subject.
Finny and Tigerseye have not an ounce of proof beyond "gee that looks like a missile"
And neither of them have the stones to admit they are wrong.

We've Got The Jobs, But Where Are The Potential Hires? 0 commentsOct 15, 2010 2:10 PM | about stocks: BLS
At the forefront of talk around the U.S. economic recovery is the unemployment issue we are facing. Every month we receive Nonfarm Payrolls data to catch a better glimpse of the employment picture. Every week we get another data point to help us assess the state of unemployment in our nation in the form of initial jobless claims. While analysts will largely focus on these two core economic numbers, there is another set of data that is not as widely monitored: the number of job openings. To be fair, this number is not as thorough or accurate, in my opinion, as the results are based on the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. JOLTS is released once a month (no fixed date) at 10a and reflects a pool of 16,000 participants, which is not too shabby (for instance, the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Survey represents a sample of just 5,000 households). Unfortunately, I find the survey is not as useful in the immediate term as there is a longer than ideal lag between when the survey is taken and when the results are released. Usually, JOLTS results will be published in the first week of the month, but the reference month is actually two months back. So the latest release on October 7, 2010 references the number of job openings as of the last business day in August. (Job openings as defined by JOLTS is a role for which a firm is actively recruiting from an external pool and which has a start date within 30 days.)
Nonetheless, I found it useful to chart the historical job openings data since December 2000. Then I plotted this data against the monthly unemployment rate that is released on the first Friday of every month:
What we see depicted in the chart above is that while the unemployment rate is arguably still hovering near the high print made in October 2009 of 10.1%, the number of job openings has actually shown clear signs of recovering off the lows from July 2009. Judging from the late 2002/mid 2003 era, I would say that job openings lead the unemployment number. For instance, the high tick in unemployment in June 2003 at 6.3% was preceded by what I'd call a recovery in the job openings data. The low print in job openings was in December 2002 and though there wasn't much indication of a progress, we certainly didn't go lower from there. Instead, we leveled out and held support until finally we saw signs of life in late 2003/early 2004. So how much longer until we see a real improvement in the unemployment rate? Going back to 2002-2004, let me be generous and use December 2002 as the low tick in job openings and say improvement in unemployment came in April 2004, when we showed that we could hold a lower low at 5.6%. I would say that I am being on the generous side with my rough assumptions. Then using our more recent July 2009 low in job openings, I would be inclined to say that we will see signs of a real improvement in unemployment 16 months later in November 2010. There is only one data point between now and November 2010 so I don't think things look too promising. But who knows, maybe I'll be surprised.

ArtCenter/South Florida Is Selling Its Iconic Lincoln Road Gallery Building
It's hard to imagine a cultural organization with an historic presence on South Beach letting go of a property that draws untold thousands of local and international visitors each year.
But that's what's happening with ArtCenter/South Florida which has today listed its 800-810 Lincoln Rd. building for sale to provide the organization with greater resources to expand its programming and services in the coming years.
The decision to sell the building housing ArtCenter's iconic bubble-shaped storefront gallery was unanimously voted on by the organization and supported by the artists in residence, according to a statement released by the organization earlier today. The Miami office of Ackman-Ziff Real Estate has been selected as the exclusive broker for the sale of the property.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for the ArtCenter to expand its influence in the growing Miami arts scene and broaden its ability to offer the best-quality programs, impacting an even greater and more diverse audience," chair Kim Kovel says.
"The timing of this could not have been any better as the organization can now expand its exhibitions and educational outreach programs and increase the resources that are provided to the current and alumnae artists, enabling them to continue to thrive with ArtCenter's support."
ArtCenter's genesis sprung from the vision of Ellie Schneiderman, a Grove House ceramist, whose dream was to create an enclave for local artists. During the early 1980s, she persuaded some Lincoln Road property owners to lease space to emerging and career artists at significantly reduced rates.
Since then, ArtCenter/South Florida has provided affordable studios and workspace to more than 1,000 visual artists from its locations on Lincoln Road while presenting free exhibitions throughout the year.

This coming November, ArtCenter/South Florida will present "30 Years on the Road," a retrospective exhibition highlighting its enduring role as a creative hub and showcasing the work of many of South Florida's most celebrated artists who have benefited from working on Lincoln Road over the past 30 years.
"The mission of our cultural institution remains as it was," says executive director Maria Del Valle. "With the help of thousands of talented artists who have been part of our family and the generosity of our supporters, the ArtCenter is proud of the strides it has made in advancing the knowledge and practice of contemporary visual arts throughout our community.
"ArtCenter's artists have helped in the transformation of Lincoln Road from a blighted neighborhood to one of America's renowned art deco districts. The ArtCenter is proud to call Miami Beach home," says Del Valle, who adds that the organization is exploring expansion plans beyond the ArtCenter's 924 Lincoln Rd. property.
"We are also studying all other possibilities throughout Miami-Dade County and closely looking to where we can best serve South Florida's cultural community."

Career Tip of the Month
Where to Find Job Openings
One of the underemphasized aspects of job searching is where to look for job openings. In a good economy, when there are many job openings, graduates do not have to look any farther than their college's job fair. But in a tough economy, where there are more applicants than there are positions, graduates need to expand their search beyond the borders of their career center to find openings.
Most people believe that all companies advertise openings and search for candidates in the same way. Much of the advice we hear on the news may be appropriate for business students or those entering a corporate world but not necessarily for students in other majors. To successfully find a job in your particular major, you need to understand how jobs are advertised? what I call the "hiring culture" of that industry or career.
When I speak to dental assisting students who are about to graduate, I ask them to take a moment and think about how they are going to find job openings in their field. In other words, where do employers in their career field advertise jobs? Dentists, for example (at least in my part of the country), primarily advertise their job openings by placing an ad in the newspaper or contacting the career services office. Unlike other industries (e.g., engineering firms and IT companies), dentists usually do not
list their openings on Monster (although a few large clinics may) and they generally don't attend job fairs. Why? Because the majority of dental offices are small, privately owned practices and the cost of attending a job fair would be prohibitive. So if you are a dental assisting or hygiene graduate and you spend all of your time looking for jobs online at Career-Builder or Monster, you would be missing the majority of the job announcements in your hometown.
The key is to know the "hiring culture" of your industry. Some industries, like the federal government, publicly funded institutions, community colleges, and state-funded colleges and universities, need to be very transparent in their hiring practices and advertise all their openings in the paper or on their web sites. They rarely advertise positions via social media. However, for other positions, such as those in business, marketing, or sales, word-of-mouth advertising is preferred. The HVAC, automotive, or restaurant industry may simply put a "help wanted" sign in front of their business. Many of these companies do not have the funds to advertise in the newspaper, or are not equipped to handle the volume of calls they may receive in response to an advertisement. They prefer to have applicants apply in person and fill out an application - that's how it's done in their industry. Some companies, like call centers, often hire large numbers of employees at a time. Because their turnover is relatively high, they use a different method of sourcing employees by relying recruiters to scour the countryside for applicants. One company that frequently recruits at my college, a nationwide insurance company specializing in handling retirement benefits for customers, advertises positions for their call center in the paper, attends job fairs, and recruits on college campuses. Recruiters for companies like this one also use Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter to connect with possible candidates.
Here are some additional places to look for job openings:
1. Public employment services such as your One-Stop Career Center, your local chamber of commerce, and community job posting sites.
2. Internet job boards, job search engines, company websites, and websites for specific industries or occupations (niche job boards).
3. College or university career offices and alumni organizations.
4. Women's centers and community-based career services for people who belong to a particular "special populations" category, such as single parents, displaced homemakers, or members of an underrepresented
group based on gender or ethnicity.
5. Trade magazines and professional organizations.
6. Employer directories such as Standard and Poor's Register of Public Companies, Hoover's online, Business.com, or geographically based directories like the Job Bank series.
7. Job or career fairs in your local or regional geographic area.
8. Executive recruiters or employment agencies (also called staffing or personnel agencies). When using these agencies, find out whether they charge you, or the employer, a fee for their services.
As a new graduate, you will have more success finding openings in your field if you know where and how to look for them.

We're fixing that one lawyer at a time. We are a unique trial attorney group, in that membership is available to plaintiff and defense attorneys and is based on the purely objective measure of experience in the courtroom over a long period of time. Trial Masters™ sought to differentiate itself and its members from the dozen or so "Better Lawyer" and "Best in the Country" awards and other "Top Lawyers" lists that are completely subjective in nature or even simply pay-to-play. Trial Masters isn't about "who's who." Trial Masters is about "who's done it." Have you done it? Read More > Trial Experience Matters. Trial Masters™ was founded by a trial lawyer. So we know the importance of courtroom experience in obtaining good results for clients – and we know leveraging that experience is central in cases even when they do not go to trial. Trial Masters was the result of recognizing that many lawyers had a handful of "best" and "top" legal awards of one kind or another, but none of them indicated a purely objective way to tell if an attorney had really sustained significant courtroom experience throughout their career. Trial Masters™ maintains that this trait is as telling an indicator as any to determine if an attorney can be counted on to deliver favorable results – case after case. One-hit wonders need not apply. Searching for a Lawyer? Thanks for clicking on the seal on your attorney's, or potential attorney's, website. The attorney whose website was linked to this site is a member of an elite group of lawyers who all have an impressive amount of trial experience. Your attorney's membership in Trial Masters™ is a significant achievement and an indication of their strong commitment to taking their clients' cases all the way to the courthouse when warranted. Additionally, with the knowledge that comes from experience in the courtroom, your attorney will also know when it is advisable to keep you out of the courtroom. When you compare lawyers, notice how many lawyers do not have this seal, then be sure to hire one that does. Read More > Featured Member: Douglas L. Hoots | Landrum & Shouse LLP Douglas L.

The promotional packet for the 2017 Mission Pledge of Presbyterian Women, PW's annual fund, is now available to download or order. Each PC(USA) congregation, as well as PW treasurers, moderators, Celebration Giving representatives and CCT members will soon receive a packet in the mail.
CROSS Ministries is preparing for the 24th Annual Back-to-School Giveaway to be held on Thursday, August 4. This year's Giveaway will be held at a new distribution location at 2309 Euclid inside the Polk County River Place building, where the old Target used to be.
The Back-to-School Giveaway is one of the most important and fun programs that CROSS offers every year! The Giveaway grew out of the awareness that the children of low and no income households are most affected by the poverty their families' experience. The best way to get them out of the poverty cycle is through education. If a child has to start school without the basic supplies needed, or has to start school late while waiting for the money to purchase the supplies, it puts them at a major disadvantage. Therefore, the CROSS Back to School Giveaway is an investment in the future for us all.
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." Ecclesiastes 3
Brothers and sisters in Christ, there is a new season in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), as witnessed by the actions of the 222nd General Assembly (2016). The body of 594 commissioners who gathered June 18-25 in Portland, Oregon, elected Co-Moderators Denise Anderson and Jan Edmiston, and J. Herbert Nelson as the Stated Clerk. Both were historic, and both signal a new way forward for our church.

I think (though I'm about to cringe at this), in order for this to work you'd need to use Izobelle/Izobel. Otherwise, it won't likely catch on. That being said, I suppose it's not too much different from Lily for Elizabeth or Poppy for Ophelia, Plum for Victoria, etc. You could always give it a try, and if it doesn't catch on, there are plenty of other nicknames.
Another idea would be to uses Isabelle/Isabel/Isobel Zoe as a name. That way, even if it doesn't catch on, she'd simply be using her middle name as her first.

A Group of Travelers visiting the exotic forests of Thailand is suddenly attacked by a multi weapon wielding maniac. Some manage to escape; others perish under his merciless blows.
The maniac is the Spirited Killer, a forest dweller who kills anyone stepping into his jungle. Leading the pack to help stop this madman is Tony Jaa (Ong Bak), making his film debut! The Killer is played by none other than his mentor, Panna Rittikrai, who was a major action star in Thailand. Together with Jaa and his other stuntmen protégés, Rittikrai gives Jackie Chan and Jet Li a run for their money with blinding action and superb stunts!
This is the start of a group that would later give the world the action epics Ong Bak and Tom Yum Goong!
For the first time on DVD in the US, Mill Creek is proud to bring you the 2nd and 3rd installments in this highly sought after and much anticipated trilogy of films!
All of the action and excitement of the first film combined with exciting new stars and martial arts action. This compilation of films is truly a collector s dream come true as the new films are introduced as one complete anthology!

SPIRITED KILLER 2 and 3 are screwed up differently. They are presented only in Thai and do have perfectly adequate English subtitles - but they forgot to letterbox the "scope" ratio films. The end result is that both films are stretched out to 16x9, making everything appear unnaturally tall and skinny. SPIRITED KILLER 1, it should be noted, is properly letterboxed in the 16x9 frame.
Bonus points are awarded for referring to the Thai language as "Taiwanese" not once, not twice, but THREE times on the DVD cover. It shows how much work went into this release that not only are ALL the films on the DVD screwed up, but Mill Creek can't even correctly identify the language spoken in the films' country of origin. Don't buy this release... unless you plan on downloading subs for the first film, then re-encoding and re-authoring the whole package yourself.
they seem a bit harsh to me.
If you want a high action, full of rich culture type movie, flush with current Tony Jaa type quality and action, you'll be disappointed, imo, and you're going to pay more for it than the cost of all 3 of these movies.
But if you lower your expectations and realize why the cost is low for 3 movies
then you can come away satisfied.
In the set I received, one had subtitles, and the other two were in English.
They aren't great movies, but they're not bad either if you have a sense of humor
and realize upfront they aren't box office smash hits.
It's entertainment and looks like 70's movie genre. So if you don't place high expectations on them upfront, you can relax, sit back, and actually enjoy them
and some of it will even be comical as you realize the mistakes.
Now all of that being said, there were some pretty good stunts pulled off.
I'm not disappointed with my purchase because I went in eyes wide open.
-Tony Jaa is only in the movie for 5 minutes, and he is just a random guy. The art on the box is taken from Ong Bak. There are no explosions.
-Nonexistent plot. Literally, people running around the woods and fighting repeatedly.
-Horrendous dub. The second two movies are subbed, which is better. The first movie had no sub option.
-Ceases to be funny mid-way through and just gets annoying and repetitive.
-The back of the box says the language is Taiwanese. Taiwanese is not a language, it is a nationality. The language is Thai, and Taiwanese people speak Chinese.
-The choreography is decent, but it is dragged down by every other aspect of the movie.
Not worth your time or money. False advertising.
Buy Ong Bak or The Protector (Tom Yum Goong). They will not disappoint.
The previous movies of his were very much better.

Most Helpful
Easy and delicious. I could have doubled the drizzle. It makes the cake. Next time I am going to get some fresh mints to garnish. Thank you.
5 star, 5 stars, 5 stars!!!!! Oh, my, this drizzle is the shizzle! Thank you so much. You just took my strawberry shortcake to a new and amazing level!!!
Mama this was soo good, it was very quick and easy to put together. I made my own angel food cake and used key lime juice and zest in the syrup. This dessert was absolutely incredible. The sponge cake soaked up the lime syrup and melted in your mouth. The syrup ehanced the sweet strawberries. I ate the last of the cake with the rest of the syrup, it was excellant that way also. Thanks so much for sharing. This goes into my keeper box.
