How do you issue a ICBM alert?

Does anybody know the process for issueing a ICBM emergency alert in the state of Hawai'i? Is it the same in all states? Do the state governments issue the alert on the say so of the feds? Has anybody else heard about the tourist boat 100 miles out of honolulu that saw a "meteor" being shot down? Wtf happned cause im not buying the " he just pressed one wrong button" Mile hogh BS.

My well informed guess, is that the alert would come from Pacific Air Forces Command... whether directly detected, or relayed from NORAD.

Civil Defense alerts should follow quickly thereafter. Should...

Considering Hawaii doesn't have a system to shoot down an ICBM, I'd say the account of a missile being shot down was BS.

The alert goes from NORAD to PACCOM to EMS and they put the alert out. NORAD sees the launch on SBIRS and sends an emergency message to PACCOM.

I dont think the anti ballistic missile system would have to be in Hawaii for a missile heading for Hawaii to be shot down

it's an unconfirmed report that's why I put it in the post with a question mark to see if anybody knew anything about it.

that's informative thank you but I meant the process by which the man presses one button and the other goes out is that the real process?

You are very wise! The "press the wrong button" excuse is most likely a lie. And the big boss there said that he couldn't turn off the Alert for 37 minutes, because he couldn't remember his password for deactivating the warning.

Unfortunately, we may not ever know what REALLY happened.

If they saw something that means the missile would be in the reentry phase. The missile defense system is in California and Alaska, and is designed to stop a missile in the midcourse phase. Why didn't anyone see the interceptors being fired? That's a huge signature and they would fire multiple missiles at it.

I'm so sick of this # where the public we were right #ing know as long as it doesn't compromise National Security

I know that's what I thought too unless we can fire anti-ballistic missiles from a submarine?

a reply to: Czulkang

No. The only ship based interceptor system has to be fired from either a cruiser or destroyer, and it's not capable of hitting an ICBM.

False Ballistic Missile Alerts come amidst Japan's push to amend pacifist constitution

.. is what I think is happening.

The process isn't really important, as long as you scare the population into supporting military action.

It falls in the list of a giant sun ejection or a large meteor strike or any other doomsday "reason". FORGET IT.
Do not waste an ounce of thought on it. YOU have no power to do anything. If it happens you will have a small amount of notice and a front row seat to one of the worlds biggest firework displays.

A third hand account. It still doesn't change the fact that not one person saw an interceptor fired. They would have had to come from California or Alaska, and there would have been multiple launches. So why didn't anyone see them?
