Hello Steve,
Finally there is
something that
has occurred, in which I am actually an expert and qualified to give a real
answer about.
I am a retired U.S. Navy FireControl Technician, who is platform certified in
the gun and missile systems on board Adams class guided missile destroyers, I
have also worked with the Navy's Harpoon, Tomahawk and ASROC missile systems. (FireControl
Techs operate, maintain and repair the computer, radar and periphial systems
used to launch and guide the various naval weapon systems, we are the guys who
"PUSH THE BUTTON")
Anyway, what I saw in the recent video concerning the object 30 miles off the
coast of CA. Is blatently a foreign made, Large Cruise or ICBM missile, being
launched by a sub-surface aquatic platform. First I know its a large missile
because it did not exhibit the typical "corkscrewing" trajectory of a beam
riding missile as it trys to acquire the targeting beam. This tells me its a Big
Boy with a complete guidance system installed in it, what is nicknamed a "fire
and forget" missile, as once its launched its internal guidance system takes
over and there is no real need for external guidance.
Secondly, I'm fairly confident its not one of ours, as the vapor trail appears
"dirty" it looks brownish. I have personally been involved in (5) SM2 missile
launches, and (2) ASROC missile launches, and have been on safety observation
for at least 15 more launches of Harpoons, Tomahawks and other missiles. We put
a lot of sweat and money into our "birds" and part of that is the fuel cells,
they burn very clean, a whitish-blue infact, not a dirty blackish brown. That
missile had rather crude fuel cells, which tells me its not one of ours.
I bet the brass in Washington is freaked out big time, because of what I know of
our "defenses" they should really have had a pretty good idea this thing was
sitting there, and they should have been watching it, not only that the moment
it broke the surface of the water and ignited our early warning dopplar should
have picked it up, and relayed the info to NORAD, and the CAP units flying
patrol over the country...
Any high ranking expert who believes this is a condensation trail off of a
commercial airliner is lying or stupid. I hope you hear from other Fire Control
Techs who saw the same thing I did!
I forgot something, as any Firecontrol Tech or Gunnersmate will verify, the
protocals to launch a missile are so complex, there is no way this was an
"accidental" launch. I do not want to share too much info, but there is no "one
red button" to launch a missile, that's all hollywood B.S. Yes two keys are
turned to arm the system, but it takes at least three other things to occur in
proper sequence to launch a bird, so that's at least 5 people all doing
something at the right time. Its impossible to accidentally lauch a missile!
