Mystery Missile!: "Professor: It was a missile, not a plane"

The following video is an excellent segment from CNN, featuring the Mystery Missile. It originally aired soon after the time of the sighting (November 8, 2010). It’s hosted by Josh Levs and presents a discussion about the main crux of the Mystery Missile saga: missile vs. jetliner.


Mr. Levs’ piece presents proponents of both sides, but more importantly, his approach vastly differs from other news show presentations in that the CNN producers take-on the "it was an optical illusion" mantra that became common in the days after the event; especially after the US Military took the position that it was an airplane. In effect, the book was closed on this UFO case— since it was just an airliner contrail.


This CNN segment also features a discussion of the nature of contrails, an explanation of the optics and illusions; but most interestingly it shows Mr. Levs asking the missed but essential question: “if this was an airplane, why can’t U.S. Officials just tell us which one it was? We have records of our aircraft in this country especially since 911!"

Mr. Levs then hands the discussion over to Pentagon Correspondent Chris Lawrence who quotes NORAD as stating “no foreign military launched any missile at that time nor was there any danger to the Homeland” The usual pap! But then he cites the FAA as indicating it…“did radar replays of that time period; they didn’t track any fast-moving unidentified object. Also, none of the Pilots in that area at the time reported seeing anything”.

Finally, Col. David Laplan of the Pentagon chimed in with: “All DOD entities with rocket and missile programs reported no launches, scheduled or inadvertent, during the time period in the area of the reported contrail”.

This is astonishing! This information was missing from UFO Blog’s account of this event. The fact is now clear; there was no official witnessing of this event, despite the massive arsenal of sensitive state-of-the-art tracking equipment. How is that possible when the object was recorded and tracked by conventional photo and video cameras for at least 10-minutes?

Josh Levs closes the segment by throwing it back to the Anchorwoman Kyra Phillips by saying:

She's otta' this world

“In the meantime we here at CNN are calling just about everyone we can think of to find out what the deal is with this aircraft, and Kyra in the end we've got a couple of questions: not only what the deal is with this, but also why doesn’t the Government know what the deal is with this, we’ll get you that as soon as we have it.”Unexpectedly, Ms. Phillips answers with a strange remark: “alright, maybe we want to try calling God, looks like he or she is the only one with the answers right now.” This makes Josh giggle and then mutter under his breath “if only”.

The irony is, this important CNN video was uploaded by a guy who collects videos of "hot newswomen", like Kyra Phillips, and this video was in his YouTube channel (UFO Blog was unwittingly led to the site—honest). Here's the video.
