Bullet UFOs sighted over Newfoundland.

Stuff that re-enters the atmosphere and burns usually leaves a big, long trail of smoke. I don't see any smoke trailing behind these things.

I saw the space shuttle come back to earth once, left quite the trail if I recall correctly. Meteors, same thing, a trail of smoke across the entire sky.

I don't think this was space junk. I think somebody was firing some missiles. It's pretty clear, actually.

[Sweejak]

Here's some total speculation, the US has recently said it was installing Patriot missiles and troops to Poland's border with Russia. One Russian defense official says that all of Kaliningrad is covered by these missiles.

The speculation is that this might be a message to the NATO West, rockets coming out nowhere, we've got your number. Flown over Canada so as not to be too audacious with the message.

Of course with the West intimidating everyone these days who knows, maybe it was China.

Space junk falls, and its obvious that its space junk.

You can tell from the way it falls. Unlike things which enter the atmosphere under speed, or are in there anyway under their own power. They don't appear to be falling.

(I know this sounds silly but if you have seen it you will know exactly what I mean. The only force acting on it is gravity, and that is obvious.)

Things don't fall upward at a 45deg angle. And they don't fall straight up either.

A grainy photo shot by Ms. Stewart shows a tube-like object flying at a 45-degree angle to the left against a grey sky, with an orange flame trailing behind. Ms. Stewart said she saw two other similar objects on the horizon, including one that appeared to be flying straight up into the air.

My intuition still leads me toward France. French forces, in secret, or in collusion with private sector aerospace, testing rockets from St. Pierre and Miquelon.

Either that or... in the study. With the lead pipe.

Weird, I hadn't paid much attention to this flap until I saw Greg Bishop's headline at UFOmystic...

USO Bursts Out Of Ocean in Newfoundland

I have a thing for USOs so I clicked it and then followed on to this link:

UFO sighting puzzles N.L. residents

Residents in Harbour Mille, a tiny community on Newfoundland's south coast, want to know what they saw in the sky Monday night.

Darlene Stewart said she was outside taking pictures of the sunset when she saw something fly overhead.

She snapped a picture of the object in an attempt to zoom in on it to see what it was.

"Even with the camera, I couldn't make it out until I put it on the computer," she told CBC News. "I knew then it wasn't an airplane. It was something different."

Stewart's picture shows a blurry image of what appears to be some kind of missile-like object emitting either flames or heavy smoke.

Emmy Pardy also saw the object.

"It appeared to come out of the ocean," she told CBC News. "It was like it was in the middle of the bay."

An RCMP officer was in the community Tuesday to investigate the reports.

Pardy said she'd like to know what the object was.

"It's kind of scary because you don't know if something is being set off out in the bay, [or] if someone is doing experiments," she said.

The residents plan to be outdoors again Tuesday evening to see if there is a similar sight in the sky.

I hadn't read the original reports so completely missed the whole "coming out of the water" part.

- SMiles

[justdrew]

ok, so it does sound like there were only three such objects.

three at once is kinda weird for a test... if they're sub launched, that's a good sized sub to get three off in rapid succession.

gonna make a wild guess and say maybe it's drug smuggling... drug sub delivers payload inland via crappy low range DIY missiles?

Aaaaaahhhhaaaaa, Marijuana Missiles!

"SPLEEFS AWAY!!!"



"INCOMING!!!"

There are a bunch of such crash-landed BUD-SCUDS viewable here:

the perfect caption for that Putin pic... "Where's the carb on this?"

seriously though, it's more likely heroin than weed...

still, "Bud SCUDs" is hereby coined! It'd make a good legend at least...

I'd forgotten all about the news stories from the last couple of years about DRUG SUBS:


http://images.google.com/images?en&q=drug+sub



But I've not heard of any that could fire rockets or missiles.









Of course, what's in the news right now but ... Virgin's SUB-JET:

What to get the man who has everything? An underwater plane of course
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ ... anson.html

[justdrew]

yeah, it'd be an advance but given the money to be made from heroin just maybe it's an old Pakistani diesel sub. maybe. Maybe the missiles are torpedo launched, under no power, and bob to the surface, once the nose breaks surface and it's mostly vertical in the water, the engine starts... could be done.

Ehm, 'spliff missile'?

Well, well, well, it turned out to just be an airplane. I, for one, feel better now.

Finnish UFO researcher says winter sun on jet streams creates rocket effect

A UFO researcher and author from Finland calls it "the December Phenomenon."

Bjorn Borg, a 63-year-old retired economist, says each winter he can count on media reports of what appear to be rocket or missile sightings of the kind seen last week over Newfoundland's south coast.

"Every year this comes up in the news," he said Monday from Helsinki.

But what people are really seeing is the effect of jetliner vapour trails catching winter sunlight, he said.

Borg studied photos taken at sunset a week ago in Harbour Mille, N.L., by resident Darlene Stewart. He believes what she and two others witnessed was nothing more than the optical illusion created when setting sun hits a jetliner at just the right angle.

"The sun is shining on the (condensation) trail. In winter time, the colour of the trail will show up (in) very strong yellow or even red. It looks like fire."

Borg said he has documented the same phenomenon more than 20 times around the world in recent years.

Granted, I'm sure what this man describes are often mistaken for missiles or UFO's, but we've got pictures of these, and they most definitely are NOT jetliners. Nor is that sun reflecting off a contrail.

Did this guy even look at the photos?

Or is he just ......

[Sepka]

three at once is kinda weird for a test... if they're sub launched, that's a good sized sub to get three off in rapid succession.

If they're launching R-27s, then it's going to be a good-sized sub. Most attack subs can get off 12-18 ICBMs in a single salvo. They're designed to launch everything they have, then get away quick. Three at once isn't that unusual for a test, and certainly not for a demonstration of capability.
