Mystery Missile?? - Page 4

Well for those of you who've seen an airliner come over the horizon straight towards you, it DOES kind of look like a rocket taking off.

I would also like to know, if it was really a missile, why was it moving so slow? If you say that's only because it was so far away, well the further it is away, the more people would have seen it, and the mystery would have been solved.

Hard to tell direction, based on the pictures, but the "launch" appears to be close to vertical and there's a kink in the path, reminiscent of a targeting redirect. Looks very missile-like. Besides, where's the fun in it being a plane?

The news video also seems to show a bright spot at the tip, which a plane isn't going to have, unless it's just a reflection off its fusalage.

Did it turn into one of those "I'm gonna punish you publicly, with a nod and a wink, but pat you on the pat privately" kind of deals?
