There's nothing to see. Move along....

I'm starting to think that maybe the Government isn't telling us everything. Last night a massive explosion at an oil storage facility rocked London and was felt as far away as 40 miles. link In the article the famous disclaimer is found as always after these type of events.
"The cause of the explosion is not yet known but no third party - a plane or a terrorist - was involved."
It amazes me that MI5 and the FBI always know immediately that it wasn't a terror incident.

This reporting on this incident reminds me of last week's story about a missile that an American Airlines pilot reported shot past his aircraft in California. I wrote about this the other day because it struck me as odd that the FBI called it a bottle rocket or flare that missed the plane at 7500 feet in the air.

I wrote about this and forgot about it until I read this post on
WND the other day. I followed the instructions that Cashill provide to see the radar images from that day;
using the LAX airport monitor. Those interested in doing the same can enter Nov. 26, 12:49, 20-mile range, and then click on "start."

You will see every airplane aloft in the Los Angeles area on the map. In about a half minute, "AAL612" appears as a green aircraft crossing the shoreline. If you click on the aircraft, it will turn red, and the flight data will appear in a box to the right. Over the next few minutes, the aircraft turns south. At approximately 6,000 feet and off the coast of Redondo Beach, a new target will appear.

"The unidentified targets altitude does some funny things," observes Glenn Schulze, "from a constant 1,500 feet to suddenly showing 7,500 feet where it remains, which is the same altitude as AA FL 612 at this point in AA FL 612's climb-out."
A radar expert I'm not, but it sure looks funny. I ran this site looking at real time data from Newark (it's pretty cool to look at a plane fly over your house and be able to see what its altitude, origin and destination are.) and have not, to this point, ever seen a ghost image or anything that looked like this.

I don't know. I guess we all need to make up our own minds.

The plane comment was to dispute eyewitnesses who said there was a small plane in the vicinity.

And perhaps there are reasons to believe it was something else.
