Late on Friday there was a surprising announcement by the Federal Aviation Administration according to which night-time flights to and from Los Angeles International (LAX) would avoid flying over the Pacific Ocean to the west of the airport, the second busiest in the US. There was no specific reason given except to note that "mysterious maneuvers" by the US military over the Pacific are forcing a change in landings late at night.
Instead of landing from the east over Inglewood, planes would begin flying from the west and over the ocean to keep noise levels down, but due to secret military operations, the airspace over the Pacific is closed to incoming flights for the next week.
"We clearly understand that neighbors and communities east of the airport will experience noise and we apologize for that," said Nancy Castles, LAX public relations director.
As ABC reported, the military would not say what is causing the change, and LAX claims it's also in the dark. Castles said all they know is planes can't be flying at low altitudes to our west.
What's going on this week is a mystery. "And plus if it's a military thing it's a good thing, that means they're making it safer for us so I wouldn't let it bother me," said Steve Devosion of Inglewood. "I'd be more interested in them not doing something about what's going on than them doing something about what's going on."
Then the reason behind the "secret operation" became quite literally apparent around 6pm local time when thousands of reports from Los Angeles and San Diego flooded social networks with reports of a mysterious bright light in the sky that sent Californians into panic. The San Diego Union-Tribune said police were inundated with calls "reporting everything from a flare to a comet to a nuclear bomb".
The newspaper said the light was seen as far away as the states of Nevada and Arizona. CBS-LA reported sightings in San Francisco, 380 miles (600km ) to the north.

The light was spotted traveling quickly over Orange County and neighbouring areas late on Saturday, leading to fevered speculation online over its origin.
Videos posted online show a bright flare rising high, before a wide, bright blue flash emerges in a cone shape. Many videos continued to track the light for several minutes. Some people saw it fade from bright red to white or blue, and thought it traveled from south to north.
Shortly thereafter the official story was released: according to the Union Tribune, Navy Strategic Systems Programs conducted the scheduled Trident II (D5) missile test flight at sea from the Kentucky, an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, in the Pacific Test Range off the coast of Southern California, a Navy spokesman said.
The test was part of a scheduled, on-going system evaluation test, said Cmdr. Ryan Perry with the Navy’s Third Fleet.
Perry said launches are conducted on a frequent, recurring basis to ensure the continued reliability of the system. “Each test activity provides valuable information about our systems, thus contributing to assurance in our capabilities,” he said in a statement.
The missile was not armed and Strategic Systems Programs does not routinely announce missile testing. Information regarding the test launch of such missiles is classified prior to the launch, Perry said.
The test range is a massive area northwest of Los Angeles. The Navy periodically uses the range to test fire Tomahawk and Standard cruise from surface ships and submarines.
According to reports, the launch area was the Pacific Missile Test Center located next to Point Mugu, "targeting" the Kwajalein atoll in the Marshall Islands.
Since LAX traffic has been diverted until Thursday night, it is likely that the US Navy will conduct more such tests. What is unclear is why the test, which was clearly meant to be apparent to millions of people, was conducted so publicly and in such close proximity to some of the most populated US urban centers, when traditionally the military is far more secretive when conducting ballistic missile tests.
Perhaps this was merely the US response to the various Russian ICBM tests which was likewise conducted in secrecy in early 2014 and which moved markets. If so, expect the Kremlin to "retaliate" in kind with its own ICBM tests over the coming weeks.
Wasn't my Amazon delivery.
I've seen many of these sunset launches from Vandenberg and they are beautiful. Really spectacular.
The not-so-funny thing is if the nukes ever actually fly, everyone will be running outside to take pictures of the u.f.o. like they did last night when the local news told them there was a u.f.o.
Steve Devosion is a retarded lemmingsheep.
Pople of America should really take care...

It isn't a foreign asset - they PRE closed the Pacific, without explaining why, after which point the launch occurred. 100% US orchestrated.
If the launch were done in a remote location, there wouldn't be millions of youtubes, pics, and what not for the Russians to get a proxy up-front-and-personal view of the test. So at least part of the objective was to warn the Russians that we still got nukes.
I don't recall seeing this sort of white exhaust color on other missiles (distinctive red-ish color seems to be the norm), so folks with a Chem background might be able to add some salt to that stone soup.

The purpose could also be testing US tracking systems (e.g. missile defense, painting/tracking the missile, etc) and having our guys walk through procedures to do whatever it is they think they need to do when missiles are going the other way.

Navy Strategic Systems Programs conducted the scheduled Trident II (D5) missile test flight at sea from the Kentucky, an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, in the Pacific Test Range off the coast of Southern California, a Navy spokesman said. 　
PROBLEM: Though there were war games scheduled, there was no missile launch scheduled (despite claims) AND HERE IS THE KICKER: According to the "experts" on various forums, Trident II missiles have a red flame, and Russian ICBM's have a stunning blue flame that leaves a huge blue trail long after the missile is gone. And this ICBM had a stunning blue flame that left a glowing trail in the sky for 15 minutes after the launch. AND HERE IS THE KICKER: ITS TRAJECTORY APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN ONE THAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT LAND IN SIBERIA. Figure the odds for that one. America would not test fire an ICBM on a trajectory for Russia!If Russia really did do this, it would have definitely sent a message that goes something like: "You can't get us, we can be right where you are looking and you will still lose LA."
Now the only thing to be fully confirmed is that a Trident burns red. I do not know what does what, but there are experts out there reading that can confirm this. If the "experts" online are correct about the color of the flame, Russia just pulled a big one.jim stone freelance

Ah, brings back memoires of being in school as a child. Get under the desk do not look at the brigth light.
Fear Fear Fear....doesn't take much to get the sheep afraid again, time for a new FEMA in-school training on how to protect from a nuke strike. The "terrorist" meme is running thin, time for a new boogey man.
People ICBMS go straight up or down
not left to right or right to left
Think about it
The target of an atoll in the Marshall Islands is quite similar to a man-made island in the South China Sea.
FireBrander says (below):
"I do wonder how much CB’s, IMF, MIC, think tanks, impotent governments or the combination of all has help led the world to this angry, distrusting, abusing, greedy and destructive position?"
It really is deeper. The patriarchal system that has ruled earth for the past 5000+ years which on the most basic level -- and most simply put -- teaches children to fight (service to self) as opposed to teaching children to cooperate (service to others).
Until humanity evolves to from Primitive Unconscious Procreation to Civilized Conscious Procreation nothing fundamental will change.
Lately all the missiles we've been firing seem to have been headed for Russia, but continue on their path and land right where they took off.
Nighttime version of the QE2 launch back in 2010.

So no claims of a "contrail" this time?
Too undeniable to deny so they just says its ours.
Maybe finally testing a new rocket for NASA. Pretty ridiculous depending on Russia for space launches, when holding Russia under sanctions.
Sort of like my idiot friend telling his lazy step daughter to move out on her own, but then buying her a new car.
However, I can tell you from seeing it first hand, no way under the sun, moon in heaven or hell.
Like, it floated, lingered and didn't even transit the entire horizon, and was going slower than an airliner.
So if it was a missile it appeared from out of nowhere, disappeared into nowhere and would have taken over 8 hours to make it from LA to Moscow.
Another thing was that it was sighted all the way from San Diego to LA to SF as well as had Twitter etc, all abuzz about it from Colorado, Nevada and Arizona. NFW a missile is seen that far. And was way too bright.
Plus a missile plume does not radiate at 45 degrees ...
Way too may Not possible to have physically been a missile.
Also, the "story" has been through several iterations.
It was said to have been launched from Point Mugu, Edwards AFB, Vandenburg AFB and somewhere else I don't remember at the moment.... Which are all land based/USAF.
Then the Navy said it was a test from a nuke sub, a Trident D-II series missile.
So the story doesn't even hold.
Then if it was a missile test, it would not have been launched from SoCal up along the coast toward NorCal. Too dangerous. Even unarmed (like they test fire armed ones... no) if it crashed on land it could kill people.
The Navy and AF shoot their tests out over the ocean away from land into the far reaches of the Pacific. In fact, the Navy test ranges have launching facilities/areas out in the South Pacific atolls.
So the test is a fallacy.
Not a missile. As in NFW.
If you were not a real time observer, a pic or vid on a web site accompanied by a comment form some governmental body claiming a missile launch is Perfect!
So, a High Tech Black Weapons Test ? Possible ... something totally unknown (Plus there was a flash way off the northern horizon) Hyper drive or something sorta Star Trek like which have been rumored for years?
A celestial anomaly? OK, then why not just say so.
A UFO? As in Unidentified Flying Object? Yes. It was flying, it was an object and it was unidentified. No, I didn't say anything about little green men, aliens or what have you.
Was a very breathtaking, viscerally disturbing event. And nothing like claimed.
upvote x 100. a bit disappointed but not teribbly surprised i guess at the downvotes.
"the most insidious lies are neither crafted nor spun, but simply passed down."
evolution is both here and coming. whether we have our arms torn off by holding onto our world, or let go and fly is up to us.
Thanks,
Whenever I mention that
"Parental conditioning is the greatest slavery in the world,"
it always draws a lot of down votes.
Exactly! Was doing some bouldering yesterday and camped at a place near pleasant valley damn near Bishop, CA. While having a brew and getting te fire going, I watched this thing cruise north along the Mt. Whitney range area all the way to Mt. Tom where it did a literally 90 again. A minute later I saw what appeard to be a 1st or 2nd stage booster come off, the missile lagged a moment, then pointed upward again. Another minute or so it looked like another stage dropped then the thing didnt rise but just cruised paralell along the sierra nevada mtn range. Normallt 'they' test missiles over the pacific, why the fuck did they do this one different?
Anyways, was pretty bitchen to watch this unfold...
Add to that its direction. The Marshall Islands are in the central Pacific. Has no-one wondered how a missile travelling south to north along the western US is supposed to end up in the Marshalls?
The official story is smoke. The real story may be fairly mundane, but the official story is full of holes. Why blow smoke, and why in such an obvious manner?
Not up or down, up and down. Whatever goes up must come down. And, yes, those that go straight up and down do go straight up and down. But that's such a '50s view of things. New ICBMs go up and down or up and sideways and down. That's sideways, as in left to right or right to left (depending on where you're standing).
But with all the world to practice in, why shut down or disrupt civil air traffic in southern California? That speaks of arrogance, ignorance and stupidity more than any thing else. Why do we need that bloated military vampire sucking America's life blood. Can't we find a cheaper way to lose wars?
How about an all-girl millitary. That way, when we lose another one, the politicians can say, "Well, what did you expect out of that war. It was just a bunch of girls." How much better than having to reconcile using our best and brightest, our strongest and fiercest. . .and still losing war after war. Looks like our best and brightest are dimwits and our strongest and fiercest are 98-pound weaklings, weak-end warriors.
WTF MOFO. Just Duck and Cover like you're told.
...and be afraid. Bad people are out to do bad things.
We call them....Government.
The end of the Age of Kali Yuga is not here yet.
I agree with all of that and the Norway Spiral which Russia supposedly took credit for is good evidence of that (blue and all) but if our/their missles are moving that slow these days it seems that they would have an awful hard time ever making their mark wouldn't it?
These test flights are nothing new. They began in the mid 1990's. A work associate took an early retirement from a Fortune 50 company to work as a civilian DOD emplyee at the US base on Kwajalein atoll. He was one of 800 such civilians. His job was in the maintenance sector (the salary was 3x what he made working shiftwork at his former job). For short breaks all employees would fly to nearby Johnson atoll where there is a large US Military base. So all of the speculation is unfounded and somewhat alarmist. This program has been based in San Diego and the local residents are well aware of these launches. These are 'dead head' missles with no armaments.
Unless the focus of the program has changed, the impact target area is new Kwaj. The flight path is + 4000 miles. It's an empty area of the world, well away from commercial shipping lanes and cpommerial flight paths. The original purpose was to improve accuracy of ICBM's
If true, then LAX flights getting re-routed is a coincidence?

I agree. They are testing to see if they can defend against a likely war scenario, a sub-based limited attack against the mainland. My daughter used to work on control systems for the missile defense system and would go to Vandenberg for tests but those always fired from land away from the coast. For them to use a TridentII near the coast and have it track parallel to the coast suggests either a psyops purpose or a test of land-based tracking systems. The broad time frame of the closure suggests the testing scenario. The tracking systems are given an alert that something is coming but not when, then they get to analyse the tracking data for how fast and how accurate it is -can we shoot it down before it hits?
Very similar to a trident test that many witnessed from the Miami airport a couple of months ago.
People should take care but to think the collapse will wait until 2017 is being a PollyAnna. No way we have that much time left.
The politics will continue longer than you can remain sane.
I expect the whole shit show to culminate in...what, 2020 or so? Maybe so far as 2025 or 2028? Followed shortly by the second coming of Jesus Christ in 2033?
At this point, all bets are off. The world could end tomorrow, it could end in a decade, it could end with a technological singularity 100 years into the future.
The only thing for certain is that the future won't be free, and it certainly won't care about privacy.
Which made me wonder, does Steve Devosion even exist? I just ran that name through a multitude of people look-ups in California and not a single hit. Yet they have my address in California from 9 years ago...

Excellent work. But it's always possible he lives in an Obamaville, and recoreded it with his Obamaphone.
When the most powerful countries of the world began flexing their military might, occupying foreign lands/seas, it deserves attention. I do wonder how much CB’s, IMF, MIC, think tanks, impotent governments or the combination of all has help led the world to this angry, distrusting, abusing, greedy and destructive position? It surely wasn’t common people who just want to live.
"I do wonder how much CB’s, IMF, MIC, think tanks, impotent governments or the combination of all has help led the world to this angry, distrusting, abusing, greedy and destructive position?"
Who’s the best candidate to push back?
Carson? Nope! Believes "Defense cut talks are IDIOTIC; military is being STARVED" by Obama...WHACKO!
Trump? Nope! Might as well make McCain his VP and blow the whole fucking world up on inauguration day.
Bush, Cruz, Rubio…ROTFLMFAO!
Hillary? Again…ROTFLMFAO!
I guess that leaves The Burn; "Why am I not shocked that in addition to wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare as we know it, cut education, cut nutrition programs for hungry kids," Sanders told reporters, "their other brilliant idea is to increase military spending at a time when we spend more money than almost the rest of the world combined."

“Between militarism and pacifism lie diplomacy, accountability, and restraint.” In that spirit, and for the sake of our future at home and across the globe, we must now learn a lesson: Sometimes, less is more. Before we can do that though, we have to unlearn the ethos of “more is more”—the ethos that the modern military has taught us” - Jill Lepore The New Yorker
Mr President, here are our calculations.
Jamie, Lloyd, thanks for doing this. Math is not my strong point.
Well, we actually had the accounting department do it.
So, in a limited nuke exchange, we would lose enough people to keep SS, O-Phones, Medicare, and the rest of our entitlements going another 50 tears?
Yep. Plus we will still have plenty of folks to rebuild. These numbers were checked by the B for IS!
But, how do we keep Vlad from wiping everyone out?
We have a guy who actually controls how many missiles they can launch and where. He is a secret agent of BIS. Just like we have a guy here who does the same thing. You played golf with him, once.
Who?
That's the point. Neither you or Vlad know who the secret agents are we control.
Thank Allah for these secret agents. Are they in every country?
Of course.
Speaking of Hillary, why would anyone vote for this?
Not that it would matter. It's like saying people are stupid for watching the 1000 foot tsunami. I won't matter it you run, scream, jump or just clutch your Bitcoin purse; you are going to die.
