Re: Mystery Missile or Jetliner Contrail over Southern Cal.

I grew up thinking I'd be de-orbiting, briefing pax about he return to gravity and starting a medium-G 270 break overhead the airfield to decelerate back into sub-sonic flight now when I was a kid.

Looks like I'll just be flying a super light plastic 767 or a pimped-out 737 by the time I retire.

"Pimped out" meaning better avionics, improved engines and whatnot.

Lol, Soul Plane. I watched that movie about half way through in Ukrainian about 7 years ago. I barely spoke any Russian at the time, and even less Ukrainian and I could still tell that the movie was one of the dumbest pieces of garbage to ever cross the silver screen. Lol.

Finally! A plausible explanation - aliens preventing global thermonuclear war.

Because news has such a great track record of not sensationalizing the normal...

I'm too lazy to see if it's already been mentioned in this thread, but if it was a contrail, they should show us the flight number that left it. We will see who's lying.

So someone used their thinker and waited for the next day when USA 808 flew over. Turns out it looks verrrry similar.
