So there's this missile nobody has claimed.

[LEaSH]

Get this: A freaking missile was launched off the coast of one of the largest city-states in the world and nobody has an explanation for it.

The imagination is reeling. probably should've put this in the SHTF area.

MISSILE!!!

no official answer = not surprised. we'd be a pile of soot before we actually heard we were under attack or anything.


adios

Well, isn't that pleasant. China showing off their new subs, or Russia reminding us they still have them? US Navy showing off?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Dr. Evil?

"Missle"

In the past the Navy would say, "Sure, it was us, just some regular tests and such."

Not this time. Not a peep from anyone - just shrugs. It's kind of blowing my mind at this point.

 

[PapaScout]

So... where did it hit/land? Surely we have tracking enough to see it's path...

It was a big boy missile, too. Not some silly little SAM, or the like. Look at the contrail on that sucker! That's ICBM sized. Someone was sending a message to someone.

California is about to turn into zombies.

It was swamp gas refracting light from Venus!

 

[Aggar]

Im sorry. I forgot that I accidentally hit the remote switch!

I'm sure we'll hear more about it this evening.

 

[Jay]

might have been pelosi on her broom....

 

[Disposable Heart]

Sorry dudes, forgot to mention my missile, only $200 tax stamp too! Surplus Russian, not pretty but reliable. Got it in before '68, so it's technically transferrable, but you have to piece it together from the Cali countryside...

 

[henktermaat]

Oops. We didn't need that missile anyway.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Yikes.


If it were the Chinese making a point about being unhappy with our currency devaluations, I'd expect to see a similar "shot over the bow" in the equities/bond/commodity markets.

What better way to say "quit messing around with the value of our assets" than by launching an ICBM off the coast of Cali and crushing a few silver shorting American banks in the afternoon?

I'd love to know if this launch generated any loading activity in Minot, ND.

Someone's been drinking on duty at the Patriot battery again, haven't they?

I will admit though, has me alarmed that no one is claiming responsiblity. Probably in Norad, calmly monitoring it. What targets do we have in Indy that someone would want to scud?

Mystery Missle Launch

Anyone hear anything more about this missile launch? Maybe from family out that way?

[LEaSH]

We'll get a doozy of an explanation, but it will be BS.

Kind of reminds me of the TWA flt 800 incident.

 

[bobzilla]

California is about to turn into zombies.

Too late.... that happened a long time ago.
