.....nope, it's just a plane. Flight AWE808 to be exact. A daily flight the departs from Pheonix Sky Harbor international airport every day at roughly 5:45 pm west coast time. A lot of hype has been made in the news the last couple days over what looked like a missile launch over the pacific ocean, captured on camera by a news helicopter. since the story broke, all manner of theories have popped up, everything from an accidental launch to some claiming a Chinese sub launched off our coast as a show of force. But a little checking goes a long way. A web cam on Newport Beach will capture this "launch" every evening and a check of flight routs will show the regular path of this particular flight. Yet strangely enough, the news is ignoring all this and still perpetuating it as a "mystery". I guess the mundane just isn't news.
