That cheeky 'contrail' is at it again! The cause of LA's mysterious missile is now blamed for sunset light show over New York
By Daily Mail Reporter

It seems that Americans on both coasts are being fooled by aircraft vapour trails, which are mischievously making themselves look like everything from rocket launches to alien spacecraft.
Earlier in the week an optical illusion created by an aircraft vapour trail caused a sensation when it appeared to look like a missile being launched off the California coast.
Spotted and filmed by a helicopter-borne news camera crew, the mystery launch left military experts scratching their heads until the phenomenon was identified as a simple aircraft trail.

Yesterday, over Manhattan at dusk, another news camera crew spotted a similar unexplained event - not the billowing tail of a missile this time but a bizarre, glowing object streaking across the skyline.

A CBS 2 cameraman captured the strange fast-moving light and then contacted a local astronomer for an explanation.

Despite admitting that the object looked very spectacular, the expert revealed that it was probably nothing more than 'contrail'.
That word again.

Contrail is a contraction of the term condensation trail, or the water vapour made by the exhaust of aircraft engines.

As hot exhaust gases from jet engines cool in the surrounding air, they can form a cloud of water droplets.
Depending on atmospheric conditions, contrails may be visible for only a few seconds or minutes, or may persist for many hours.
A contrail from an aircraft flying directly towards the observer can appear to be hurtling vertically from a point on the horizon, as in the California incident.

New Yorkers were similarly gripped by UFO excitement on October 13, when a series of illuminated objects were spotted in the sky above Chelsea.

The objects were later identified as balloons that had broken free from a nearby school - but many witnesses remained unconvinced by that explanation.

The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

I remember watching the video from CA, while listening to some talking head declaim about phantom missiles. All the while, I'm saying to myself that that 'missile' is moving awfully slowly. They call 'em 'rockets' for a reason.

Like the LA incident I saw a similar vapor trail from a jet once. Probably because it was not nearly so wide spread at the base I never thought it was anything but a plane. I just thought how interesting that because of my perspective it looked like it was going straight up. But as I turned to head East away from the effect was spoiled.

I saw a rocket from Vandenberg in the early evening sky off the San Diego coast once. Quite an amazing site - dark at ground level, yet the exhaust trail is still in the setting sun, which evidently makes the gasses fluoresce (or something similar). Wasn't sure what it was at first, then I saw what was unmistakenly a stage separation. Only wish I had had binoculars.

This guy did an analysis of the "ufo" and compared it with photos from various locations, while tracking a UPS flight (#902):

Amazing how atmospheric conditions can play tricks with your eyes. Last night, I watched what appeared to me to be a plane falling out of the sky. It was only after watching it for about 30 seconds that I realized that it was actually ascending while flying away from me. I wonder if the extremely cold air we had had something to do with the optical illusion.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

It won't be long before the real story breaks, and the public realizes that con-trails are a vast government program to spray aerosol mind-control agents into the atmosphere.

IT: Oh definitely - that's how I know about it.

You know what we say around here: "Boulder - 12 square miles surrounded by reality."
