It's just a cover up for Piton Ron's new gun.

The Chinese don't have the best track record of submerged SLBM launches. I'm guessing it's pretty unlikely they'd have the requisite absolute level of confidence in the success of a launch to even think about such a stunt. One bad launch test almost sank one of their subs, there would be a certain loss of face if they had to scuttle one or get towed into Long Beach.

hey! let's give credit where credit is due. Ron is the idiot that started this conspiracy thread. Klimmer just had come go into the closet for his tinfoil hat and join late.

every conspiracy needs a Klimmer.
I believe you will be seeing that phrase frequently now.
It may even replace the blue buttplug as a ST icon.

Ok people.
Let's get busy.
Take a look at the following footage.
One from China. One From Russia Times. And one Spanish.
Full footage of the KCAL original footage.
Mystery Rocket Launch Reported On Chinese News

Raw Video: Mysterious Missile Launch Off California Coast
http://espanol.video.yahoo.com/watch/8541061/22944634
Gonna use some meteorology.
Note first of all the Cirrus cloud illuminated from below glowing pink in alpine glow. How high are Cirrus clouds in temperate zones, the mid-latitudes?
High Clouds: (Family A)
16,500 and 40,000 ft (5,000 and 12,000 m) in the temperate regions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud
That rocket is behind and above the pink fully illuminated Cirrus cloud. We can watch it travel behind the cirrus cloud in the video footage. It is not coming toward the city of L.A. but going away from the California coast in a WNW direction.
How is this true?
Because the contrail/vapor trail from the rocket is backlit from the setting sun. Note the edges of the contrail are illuminated and the central column is dark. That means it is backlit and the rocket contrail/vapor trail is getting lite up from beneath and behind. Note how the contrail gets lighter in color as it goes higher. As the rocket is getting higher, it is getting more and more into direct sunlight.
The specular emitted flashes from a single point source of light we see are the rocket engine. At times it gets obscured by the contrail/vapor trail and we lose sight of it because it is going up and away from the CA coast in a WNW direction.
It is a rocket.
If it was a jet contrail and the jet was flying toward the CA coast, the entire contrail would be illuminated evenly just as the cirrus cloud easily is that is below it.

Sure it was. Read the comments. Nobody is buying it.

ddriver - can I ask where you got that article?
My buddy and I saw that in person yesterday from Huntington Beach and I'm not buying the jet contrail story. I knew when I saw it it wasn't Vandenberg because of our orientation. It was definitely over the water, and it came from right off the deck, and wasn't any 200 miles away.

ok wait a second.
let's just say for a moment I buy that it's a missile. I'll at least consider cuz it does look not totally normal.
How exactly does this get linked to a Chinese Submarine?

BUT, it was still there the next day, looking exactly like a missile launch
I saw it
It was still there, for all to see, just off our coast
'nuff said.

These planes fly on regular schedules so it will be there EVERY day, although it will look different depending on the lighting and atmospheric conditions.

Klimmer, I watched the raw video you linked to, but you and I appear to be watching completely different videos. I switched between your interpretation above and the video and they don't match.

As speculation, I think it could have been a submarine launch of a nuke, by accident, that wasn't activated, and the military doesn't want to admit it
Good to see you know as much about submarine ops as you do about economics... ;-)
If it was a missile, and it came from a US sub, it was not an accident.
