Until a complete and believable explanation is provided by the US Govt, I'd have to go with the conspiracy theory folks on this issue.

Anyone who has read my postings over the past four years would know I'm about the last person to jump on the conspiracy theory bandwagon, but this incident hasn't been adequately explained by the officials who know the answer. So, I'd have to say at this time, I side with the "cover up" folks.

Until a complete and believable explanation is provided by the US Govt, I'd have to go with the most likely explanation on this issue.

Anyone who has read my postings over the past four years would know I'm about the last person to jump on the conspiracy theory bandwagon, but this incident hasn't been adequately explained by the skeptics who think they know the answer. So, I'd have to say at this time, I side with the conventional explanation folks.

Which conspiracy?

And the most likely explanation is what?

The US government said there wasn't anything to worry about. It looks pretty obvious to me that it was a missile. Ergo, it was a classified US missile test.

Contrails.

The problem with this sentiment is the explanation should clearly show which jet it was, where it came from, and where it landed.

Haven't seen anything about that yet.

Coverup for an "unexpected" missile fired off coast. We don't test missiles near populated metro areas without prior clearance.

That's true. That is a problem. At least some candidate aircraft.

And the lack of this explanation is why, at the moment, I'm not buying that explanation. The time lag since the incident certainly adds to the mystery, and my concerns.

Like I've stated, I'm usually one of the first to debunk conspiracy stuff, but on this issue I haven't seen an acceptable and reasonable explanation.
