Ok - here is a biggie question:

Date of sighting?

Why do I ask this? Because IF this is something real - it would have been on the NEWS and reported by other people, a lot more people! So is there away to confirm the Date and Time of this supposed sighting?

I have never seen this tape before but I know GD well thats not no missile.

Maybe it's a UFO coming out of anti gravity drive.
Alienated Being
Yes, that is definitely not a missile.

Sorry, folks, no UFO hyperdrive here. This an evening rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base. It's very beautiful, and not really that unusual. What you're seeing is the exhaust plume from the booster lit brightly by sunlight as the vehicle climbs out of darkness into the light of the setting sun.

Based on the shape of the plume in the video and the bright white dot in the sky (Venus), I'm just about positive that this is a video of the November 8, 1997 launch of a Delta II carrying five Iridium communications satellites. Check out the still photos of the launch here.

For more images of evening launches from Vandenberg, try a Google image search for "Vandenberg launch plume"

Pretty, aren't they?

Funny, looks an awful lot like this missile launch from Vandenberg back in 2005.

Awww, i thought it was an alien.
PersonFromPorlock
Best guess is it's an extremely high-altitude vapor trail (high enough to still be sunlit) generated by a reentry.
Alienated Being
Hmm, looks like I was wrong. That is very beautiful. Wish I could have been there to watch.

Yeah, that video is a really good one. Actually, if a person had never seen a missile launch before I see how they could be a bit freaked out!

The missile?

So what can we learn from this? Don't say something is alien just because it "doesn't look like a [missile]".

You were wrong this time, are you going to be more skeptic the next time? I don't know you so don't take this personally, but my guess would be, no.

^ right
well its just weird to think that much smoke, and that long of a trail (which looks very cool) came from a little dot of light that small
She-ra
Hmmm. Missle? No. UFO? Possibly.

Remember that you're seeing it from afar, Delta II rockets are quite large. If you do a search on Google images you'll see. thumbsup.gif

So what makes you think it's not missile?

Really is a classic missile test. Vapour trail, shape of the tail, everything. I am afraid there is no mystery here.

It didn'tlook like a missle to me because it was just like a smal circular object just floating along. When I think of Missles, I think of long, thin, pointy front and flared out back. I dunno? I'm new so don't beat me up too much. sad.gif Thanks.

OK Thanks.

I never knew missiles could look so cool.Too bad its not a UFO coming out of a wormhole or anything like that but its still awesome!
