Default Is it a bird, is it a plane...or is it a missile being denied by the US???

It appears a missile was launched off the coast of California...was it an illusion? The US governments stance on this is weird!

So, they will strongly reassure America that it is not a foreign attack missile, yet can say thay it is not one of theirs.

One expert says it's an airplane coming towards the camera. Another says it is not a tomahawk, but more likely a ballistic missile.

Who to believe??? I do know that I find it questionable that in this day in age, the US government can confirm something not to be a threat to national security when at the same time, they admit they don't know what it is...lol

Maybe it was an amateur with a lot of money to burn?

Either that or Hank'n'Bud got pi$$ed on board a submarine and dared each other to push the big red button!

You have to love their military "expert"


"It could be a test firing of an ICBM from a submarine, an underwater submarine..."


What other variety of submarine is there?

It could be anything but the first thing the guy jumps to is posturing to scare the Asians



I swear, it's like the big kid at school who used to beat up everyone else, then you see him 20yrs later after he's come to terms with his latent homosexuality and is porking a hairdresser named Julian???

Mark...that guy cracked me right up. So, the US wastes valuable warheads by "showing" what they can do while they're leader is visiting another country???

I bet they're quaking in their boots!
