The MISSILE Launch was the X-37b - from Mugu NAVAL COMPLEX
S User ID: 891707 Canada 11/10/2010 05:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	The MISSILE Launch was the X-37b - from Mugu NAVAL COMPLEX Why do you think they are saying they didn't launch anything? They want to keep is hush hush. They were ticked off that all the amateurs were able to track its launch and orbit the last time around. Good image of the contrail showing its origin from the military base here [link to i55.tinypic.com] Without a doubt this settles it once and for all.

The contrail was nowhere near large enough to be that. That was an aircraft contrail, probably from an airliner. You had a very low sun angle that was only lighting up the sky say above 20,000 feet at that particular time. You can see some small lower level clouds that are in shadow. You had varying winds pushing the contrail making it crooked. That combined with the camera angle give a very foreshortened appearance to the contrail making it seem to raise in altitude when in reality its at one altitude through its length. I don't know how the guy at Jane's could be so wrong "expert" or not. Anyway, that's my take on it, and that's from one of GLP's resident aircraft experts. "Everybody lies."

They said launches are not secret, but the payload is.
