WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Pentagon says it's trying to figure out whether a missile was launched off the coast of southern California and who might have launched it.

Spokesmen for the Navy, Air Force, Defense Department and North American Aerospace Defense Command say they are looking into a video posted on the website of Southern California television station KFMB.

The video appears to show a rocket or some other object shooting up into the sky and leaving a large contrail over the Pacific Ocean.

Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan said Tuesday that officials can't confirm that there was a launch and if there was, by whom. He says officials are talking to the Air Force, Navy and NORAD as well as civilian authorities who control and monitor air space.

Riiight. And it was so 'tippy top secret' they LAUNCHED AT 5PM, WITHIN SIGHT OF THE LOS ANGELES FREEWAY.

Riiiight. During RUSH HOUR IN LOS ANGELES.

FM, 'somebody' wanted this SEEN. It wasn't the Pentagon. It wasn't 'ours'. It wasn't an 'accident' by AMERICA. I know the procedures very well from my time in service. You cannot launch a weapon system from a sub by 'yourself'. You can't do it without the entire control room being aware and either actively participating, or passively letting it happen, one or the other.

I don't know what nation did this. But I'm 99.999 percent certain it wasn't the United States.

I spent time in the service too, and it is always tricky to try to analyze what we did or do and if so why this is so. But one thing is certain, you will never admit you were wrong when you said this was made up and was sure of it.

You have too much a propensity for convenient amnesia when you mis-speak.

Yes, Captain Context, it was a typo.

You never commented on the one garbled sentence of yours' I responed to earlier micro management of my posts I noticed.

You want to hear another Earth shattering thing unavoidible as the Earth continuing to turn? It will happen again. ROTFLMAO!

Thanks for sharing, and hey, at leat I don't have to pay you to be the little jargonista you are so good at being. ;-D

"That's an indication of the head trauma you suffered."

And you are practicing medicine with no license.

The simple fact is in spite of your laughable attempt to bait and hound, you are entertaining me a great deal.

The fact is, if you compared my writing aptitude with that of most people in the general public, I do better than the average.

We have become a functionally illiterate society; one that learns how to read and write, and does it so little, that when they have to open a Microsoft Word window, they are lost without the spell and grammar check.

So forgive me if I'm not the least bit bothered by your windmill jousting.

If that is all you have to complain about concerning me, you protest too much.

And this game makes you look bad, not me.

The wife of a well known author asked her husband who couldn't spell, punctuate, or write a grammatically correct sentence if he was embarrassed; he answered, "No, those things are for amateurs to worry about. I'm a professional".

"The wife of a well known author asked her husband who couldn't spell, punctuate, or write a grammatically correct sentence if he was embarrassed; he answered, "No, those things are for amateurs to worry about. I'm a professional"."

I got my Polysci degree in the early 1980s and had to do a whole lot of writing in school after getting out of the Army the first time in 1980, and it was pretty gruesome.

I always read a lot, got excellent grades and have always been a chronic book reader, but my spelling was horrible. We all have our Achilles heel, and that had been mine.

i started posting at the Well in 1995, and shortly after that the Time magazine politics board that had a good hit count from all over the country. It was posting that forced me to become competent in spelling.

Yesterday while sand child was whining to flame, I was posting here and two other forums. One tends to get in a hurry, but I was doing just fine.

His game yesterday was to flame, my tactic was to show he lives in a teapot on the stove with boiling water and steam he was calling it a hurricane - a tempest in a teapot.

He is amusing in that he loses sight of the fact I don't care what he pots in the ping box to insult. It does nothing to me, and makes him look like a sandbox grade infant.

Several at 4UM did it a long time, I ignored it, finally Christine told them to stop.

His immaturity and ignorance is not my problem. I would rather not let the bic flicking to flame bull shit even register and to just go on doing what I do.

If he can't figure out that my political skin is rhino thick after many years on forums almost as bad as this one, he better keep wasting his time carrying stone's water for him.

Whitesands has been a long time joke in many of these forums and gets shunned as a goober. so I'm actually not surprised he's so anxious for attention he would try to see if modeling a high school bully will affect a 56 year old man who has been in the u.s. Army nine years and spent more years than that working in the woods in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California.

This is a joke of a forum, and I don't believe anymore that Stone wants it to succeed. I learned the last of what I was wondering about yesterday, so I'll be seeing you at the nest.

LOL.

So, what, you got a B.S. degree in B.S.?

Oh, that's right... In PolySci, there's no classes where you actually have to LEARN anything of value, so it'd be a B.A. in B.S.

LMAO.

Then you became a ground-pounder.

Maybe it's time to go back to school, and get a REAL degree.

You make yourself out to be some shit-hot intellectual, and the truth is that you've got the G.E.D. of higher education... I certainly understand now, why you show up in the battle-field of ideas, with a Swiss army knife and a loin- cloth.

LMFAO.

Bye, bozo.

A B.S. in Political Science, why? I did the language and math prerequisites, it wasn't a B.A. I used the old G.I. education benefits as I enlisted in 1975 and qualified for them before they started cutting them.

"You make yourself out to be some shit-hot intellectual"

I'm never trying to put on the dog, dude. I went to private school most of my school years at places that had 15-20 people in my grade over the years. I had to take Latin, had literature to read in English in the fifth grade I later saw used in the public high school I graduated from in the early 1970s.

My nick name in basic was "Mr. Specifics" for saying, "Specifically speaking...." to a Drill when trying to explain hypothermia to him and got cut off as drill like to do. I use big words; it's a character 'flaw' and cross I bear; what can I say? I'm just who I am.

Later my nickname in S.F. was 'Spock' because of the 25 dollar words I used. I wasn't trying to put on the dog then, or now. I write like I talk in real life.

Unless I'm dealing with someone who rates Army or Blue collar jargon to get a point across. There is no point it trying to pose as you are a 'genius' in forum, or try to act uppity.
