Seriously.. Something could be going on here. A missile is launched off our cost, our government says they know nothing about any launch that should have happened, but we all know that something big did go up in the air.... Then all of a sudden the President cuts his visit short to Indonesia because of Mount Merapi ash that is around 500? miles away, even if it was blowing its top before he got there.
It is very possible some country had a point to prove (china?) and then proved it very well by being able to get one of their "super quite" diesel subs less then 50 miles off our cost and send this missile up.
With all said... Where is this missile now, space, crashed somewhere in the north pole, malfunctioned? If this missile wasn't known to be going up by NORAD (as they stated), then why wasn't it intercepted and shot down by our so called missile defense network?
Somethings up and there are only 3 things it could be IMO. 1... Bad communication of a flight (that news helicopter sure wouldn't have been in the air or any other aircraft). 2... It was us testing something on the secret scale and it will come out sooner or later (but still, aircraft in the air, that makes no "safety" sense) 3... Some other country just showed us we are blind and can take us out when ever they wish (they just tested our missile safety net and it failed, to close to do a damn thing about it).
Time will tell and I would rather be laughed at then be right.
