Also, when the sun is low, the contrails can appear black from another airplane. Check out some other videos for examples, like the one I mentioned in the previous posts.
@BretMeister The USAF AGM-86B cruises at 480kts. The MD-80 cruises at 440kts. This video was shot presumably from one of SW's 737s, which cruises at 420kts. With either one going in the opposite direction you're looking at a combined speed of about 1000mph. With DRVSM being 1000 feet, it's pretty easy to get that close to another plane safely. You should know. For example search for a video called Airliner Crossings by Fly4fun. It's way better quality and still on some of them it looks like this
i am a commecial pilot, and this is another aircraft coming from other side, due to the new RVSM, reduce vertical separation minimums, do not believe in santa claus, please.
when was this taped? cuz it could be the same thing that hit the pentagon on 9/11. they didnt find ANY plane parts at the building after the boom. oh and IT IS A MISSILE. hands down. i know a missile when i see one.
Cruise missiles don't usually leave black smoke trails, but the JT8D engine (found on the MD80, among others) smokes like a bitch. Besides, missile or airplane, what difference does it make?
thng is if it was a missile it wasn't a loaded one, so really I woulda been more worried if it was a MD80 jet. I think the guy with the video just wanted some money from someone.
Looks like a missile to me. I've seen a number of small jets and that doesn't look like one. For one it's going quite fast (so can jets) but the major things that point to missile is the exhaust and the shape. I think someone screwed up somewhere and just didn't want to admit it.
I dropped 6 skydivers off over Dallas once, got a great picture 10 years later of five skydivers holding hands an a SW 737 in the NEAR background banking sharply maybe 50 yards away, its in Herb's office today
friend chased a Russian bomber down in an F106 200 miles INSIDE Alaskan territory, (not airspace) had the Ruskie in his sights, Alaska Air Command wouldnt approve a shoot down...pussy
your an idiot. Missiles dont travel at super sonic speeds. given the plane was prbably travelling a few hundred miles an hour, given that a tomhawk cruise missile (which is what it looks like, that or a harpoon_ travels 600 mph, it seems normal
I've seen this episode. It's where the shuttlecraft is going down, and Spock jettisons the last of the fuel, see, which Scotty spots and then beams everyone aboard at the last minute.
@wehavejoy On an MD-80 the engines are so close together that the exhaust mixes into one contrail, especially when viewed FROM THE SIDE. Take a look at a video called Airliner Crossings by fly4fun. His videos are very good quality and usually with some zoom, and on SOME of the shots you can't see the wings or separate contrails.
easy, 2 aircraft, flying at cruise speed can give the effect of a higher speed. An md80 is the most likely course, cruise missiles dont get tested at that height & certainly wouldnt be tested within the "airlane" around commercial aircraft!!!
It's a bird...it's a plane....wait, it is a plane! It's clearly a MD-80, I can't believe that the aviation expert couldn't tell. Anyone with any flight experience could tell you that, I guess that's just a pilot aptitude! :o by the way, I have meet many so called "Aviation Experts" that didn't even hold private pilot licenses. How can you be an expert in something you have no experience in?
Should be easy to see if any MD-80 was in the area at that time? There are logs for such?
Considering that these two aircrafts were flying in totally opposite direction towards each other, the speed of the "missile" or MD-80 would feel twice as fast, since the jet he sat in moved about 900 km/h as well.. - too slow to be a missile..
it's an MD-80! A missile would be way faster and it would leave a _white_ track if it was an air-air? the track on the vid looks like fuel exhaust :D
Its not a missile. The speed of the a missile is 1000+ mph. its a Learjet 45 or some other type of jet. he's a re and people like this jumping to conclusions are f*cking stupid. If you look at aviation charts you will see different areas ie "Restricted" or "MOA" both areas are for the military to do their thing.
1000+MPH? Yea. OK if it is a ICBM on re-entry maybe, but a cruse missile is a ram jet, not a rocket. It tops off at around 600 MPH. The thing is they are designed to hug the contours of the earth avoiding radar detection and it is unlikely that you would find a cruse missile at that altitude.
ahahahaha doesn't want to show his face coz "hes worried how the government might react to his video" lol watchout 'jonas', they're coming for you! you've seen too much!
tht's kind of slow to be an Air-air missile, it could be a cruise missile, if so it's not a threat to an airplane, as cruise missile is a ground attack weapon. it probably an MD-80, they are very long & slim
Ever heard of an MOA?" Milatry Operations area" Look in your Far/Aim book Fars' It defined as "airspace established outside class A airspace(airspace above 18000 msl) area to seperate or segragate certain NON HAZARDOUS military activities from IFR traffic and to identify for VFR traffic where these activities are conducted" There is also an Alert area and A controlled fireing area. Airliners cruise in class A airspace and are always IFR. This could not have been a controlled fireing area.
Wow, holy crap people are stupid as fuck. "Aviation Expert?" It's obviously a airliner (likely a MD-80). You can see the tail if you look close. Fucking retards.
Same here, the army today flew seriously 80 helicopters into Bozeman MT where i live and every 30 min i heard thud thud thud thud i look out da window...helicopters!
If it was a md80, you would be able to see the tail. if you can see the side of a fusilge, brite white and clear as day, there's no way in hell is that an aircraft. One more thing, the reason why the military didn't say they didn't have anything in the sky that day was because they don't want the public to think that there lazy and careless with weapons and get a bad reputation. They could have said anything they wanted, and the public would have belived them.
hey jonas! grow some balls and quit whinning like a little bit*h. so you got a got a good video. what ever it was, is a mile or two away, and several thousand feet below you......scary, ohhhh!
That my friend is a JASSM Cruise Missile. Compare it to this:
watch?v=bqvG_worcUY
Note the wings on the JASSM. You can make them out if you pause the video on 23 seconds. Also, if you google images of the JASSM that one of the standard colors of the weapon is white. Also the JASSM can cruse at higher than 20,000 feet (search on google for "JASSM altitude"
- Object was clearly far away from the plane, and it was quite large compared to cruise missile.
- Cruise missiles fly low to avoid radars, and if they fly high, they go subsonic. You can clearly see that object in the video, was travelling almost same speed as passenger plane. Well, their cruise speed can be same, but its wayyyyy smaller than object in video.
Its an aeroplane, crossing below. It has safe distance too.
u guys are idiots(not the ones that said it was an MD80) theres this thing called contrails... these come off EVERY airplane at a certain altitude and temperature... i kno i kno even missles but thats definatlet an MD-80... why not ask someone on duty(pilot or ATC) about that flight and maybe they recal traffic in that area(altho it mught be very common to see traffic in the desert)....... anyways... whatever its a maddog
Excellent Video. Having worked in the air for over 7 years now on aircraft I think that it was the MD-80. The only reason I think this, is because MOA (Military Operating Areas) do not usually extend to 40,000 Feet. The 737 cruise is usually around 37-38,000 Feet with an operational max of 41,000 ft. I also think it was moving too slow to be a missile.
it can only be my mrs big white mambo dildo she got for xmas....we where looking for it....she's so tight when sha cum it shot out at high speed.....we did wonder....Happy New Year!
Lol, I know some people don't think things through properly. Nearly Every missle has a jetblast or "Flame" that is at least the length of the actual missle if not longer. NO civilian AirCraft that i know of has a visible jetblast of that size. It is hard in anycase to say that that was a plane and prove it. Seriously.
Actually, most missiles don't have much visible flame. If that is a missile, it is a cruise missile powered by jet engines. The point is that you don't want to give a missile's position away, as that makes it easy to avoid or even shoot down. That was probably an MD-80, given the amount of dark exhaust, indicating a large, inefficient set of engines. Cruise missiles have small, efficient motors that give off very little exhaust.
Wow, the ignorance and stupidity of the populace astound me.
1. Cruise missiles do not fly at that altitude. The whole idea with cruise missiles is to avoid detection. At that altitude they would be easily neutralized by air defences. To make it simple, They do not fly at that altitude they hug the frickin' ground!
2. It is obviously another aircraft and the exhaust is the contrail. The contrail appears dark because of its relationship to the sun and the idiot filming it. If you look closely at the rear of the aircraft you can make out the intake of the starboard nacelle. Clearly an aircraft in the MD-80 class. I can tell that even from this crappy youtube video.
3. It appears to be going so fast because, duh, it is. Airliners cruise at about 500 mph. If you have your zoom maxed out like this moron did then you truly do get a sense of the aircraft's true airspeed.
MD-80? My ass. Travelling way too fast, too much exhaust, I can swear I'm seeing rocket exhaust, so unless they installed afterburners on a fucking civilian jet they can kiss my underpaid white ass.
That fucker is a Tomahawk or similar, the military was having a fun day at the range. Who cares that it got close to a civilian jet, if it WAS a Tomahawk, then it wouldn't hit the jet unless the jet was painted as a target.
an md-80? yeah, it totally looks like an airplane, seeing as there are no visible engines, writing or logos, wings, cockpit, and tail, so it must be another airplane...

u guys are idiots(not the ones that said it was an MD80) theres this thing called contrails... these come off EVERY airplane at a certain altitude and temperature... i kno i kno even missles but thats definatlet an MD-80... why not ask someone on duty(pilot or ATC) about that flight and maybe they recal traffic in that area(altho it mught be very common to see traffic in the desert)....... anyways... whatever its a maddog

ATC would have tagged it on radar and the pilots would have known has it been a Missle.

Excellent Video. Having worked in the air for over 7 years now on aircraft I think that it was the MD-80. The only reason I think this, is because MOA (Military Operating Areas) do not usually extend to 40,000 Feet. The 737 cruise is usually around 37-38,000 Feet with an operational max of 41,000 ft. I also think it was moving too slow to be a missile.

Lol, I know some people don't think things through properly. Nearly Every missle has a jetblast or "Flame" that is at least the length of the actual missle if not longer. NO civilian AirCraft that i know of has a visible jetblast of that size. It is hard in anycase to say that that was a plane and prove it. Seriously.

Actually, most missiles don't have much visible flame. If that is a missile, it is a cruise missile powered by jet engines. The point is that you don't want to give a missile's position away, as that makes it easy to avoid or even shoot down. That was probably an MD-80, given the amount of dark exhaust, indicating a large, inefficient set of engines. Cruise missiles have small, efficient motors that give off very little exhaust.

Concord had several afterbuners if I do remember correctly.

Wow, the ignorance and stupidity of the populace astound me.
1. Cruise missiles do not fly at that altitude. The whole idea with cruise missiles is to avoid detection. At that altitude they would be easily neutralized by air defences. To make it simple, They do not fly at that altitude they hug the frickin' ground!

2. It is obviously another aircraft and the exhaust is the contrail. The contrail appears dark because of its relationship to the sun and the idiot filming it. If you look closely at the rear of the aircraft you can make out the intake of the starboard nacelle. Clearly an aircraft in the MD-80 class. I can tell that even from this crappy youtube video.

3. It appears to be going so fast because, duh, it is. Airliners cruise at about 500 mph. If you have your zoom maxed out like this moron did then you truly do get a sense of the aircraft's true airspeed.
Take off your foil hats now. ;)

MD-80? My ass. Travelling way too fast, too much exhaust, I can swear I'm seeing rocket exhaust, so unless they installed afterburners on a fucking civilian jet they can kiss my underpaid white ass.
That fucker is a Tomahawk or similar, the military was having a fun day at the range. Who cares that it got close to a civilian jet, if it WAS a Tomahawk, then it wouldn't hit the jet unless the jet was painted as a target.

I dont know anything about planes and missiles and all that but i think it is a missile.

an md-80? yeah, it totally looks like an airplane, seeing as there are no visible engines, writing or logos, wings, cockpit, and tail, so it must be another airplane...
i have but 2 words for those people...:
