Satellite Shootdown... Really A Missle?

(mods: sorry if in wrong section...sorta fits in more than one...please move if you must)

In fact, the government claims it was 3 specially modded missiles, but I am going to throw out some alternate possibilities:

Nuclear Powered Laser meant to shoot down ICBM's and other fast-moving missiles...currently ground-based, but can reach many miles, planned to be shot from specially fitted 747...may already be done. Widely discussed.

Space shuttle - is it a coincidence it landed the same day? Do we have black space shuttles going to secret satellites and/or a moon base/space station/space battle cruiser? Whatever the case, weapon opportunities are all there.

Space/terrestrial fighters - could they have launched one of the "experimental" craft from one of the "secret" bases, flown up to space, blown the satellite away with missile/bullets/particle beam/laser? Remember Tesla had a particle beam way back when.

Weapons platforms/satellites - Remember Reagan's "Star Wars" and you think we really didn't keep funding and researching? Lasers, beams, and missiles...all possible.

Why do you think the Russians are so nervous? Perhaps we have a space fleet cloaked up there...battle cruisers, fighters, the whole works. How many years ahead of civilians is the government?

Just food for thought...and just speculation.

How ever many views and no posts?

C'mon!

We're going to give the Chinese and Russian governments data from the missiles, and other technical stuff regarding the shootdown, so don't you think we'd be smart enough to give them either outdated technology that we can easily counteract, or false technology that won't actually succeed? If we are using beam weapons of any type - laser, plasma, particle - why would we worry about a missile that only moves at 5000mph? Seriously.

I want to hear what some of you have to say about this.

Well except for the fact that the US Navy has been shooting these missiles for over 10 years at short and medium range ballistic missiles. And there's a video of the ship, the missile launch, the stages burning out, and the impact. So I'd have to go with missile.

The ABM (747 laser) hasn't even fired the main laser yet. They've only fired the targetting laser.

That we know of. Do you really think they would tell the public of a new weapons system that is fully operational? Do we want the Chinese, Russian, and other unfriendly governments to know what we can really do in an all out war?

The video does show the missile launch, but it doesn't actually show the missile striking. It shows a ball of light. No missile, no light trail, just an explosion.

How could it not be a laser, then, since we don't actually see the missile strike the bird?

First China.

Then America with that dangerous fuel on board hmm..

Just a fairytail so America could show the world they can do it just as easy as China more like.

Im just waiting for Russia to create there own fairytail then the circle will be complete.

Take care.

P.S America cant say for shure if any of that dangerous fuel wont land on anyone.

Oh maybe because a laser wouldn't cause a massive explosion like that? There is nothing on the satellite that would explode like that WITHOUT a massive impact, such as the SM-3 kinetic warhead hitting. Hydrazine is NOT explosive, and it was frozen at the time of impact.

O RLY? stinet.dtic.mil...

Last time I heard, lasers produce great amounts of heat. Just out of curiosity, can you guarantee that no oxygen or nitrogen was present on the schoolbus sized satellite, too?

Oh...and this was 8 years ago:
www.space.com...

How far can we come in 8 years?
