Pinch, did you read the 65 text Comments of that YouTube "Cruise Missile Formation" video?
www.youtube.com...#
It's a MUST read, all those 65 comments, especially for all of your "friends" by the way.
Or were you posting already in there, since there is an astonishing similarity with a poster in there with the same debating style, calling himself
wpaisley.
You said,
same as he did in this video's 65 comments section, this:
Pinch: I also sat next to, for about a year, the Navy's Tomahawk cruise missile program manager in the Pentagon. I asked him about this very
same video and he said no, it wasn't tomahawks.
Triton111 gave you a very interesting row of answers on that, which I can't repeat in this sophisticated forum. Look it up yourself.
If you were not posting in there, then I at last understand now, why so many Americans lately tend to support wars based on imbecile reasons.
If true however, then we can read up on some more insider knowledge.
I enjoyed the thoughts exchange between triton111 and wpaisley, reader smiles are expensive to produce on this forum. But the two of them surely made
me smile.
This is one of the many posts in there, by the original poster, on page 3 :

Slow moving geese?
What angle would that have to be when it was centered at 13 seconds in and uncentered again at 28 seconds (roughly 15 seconds) and still cross 5 roads
(or trails) in that time?
I'm not schooled in such things but those objects are moving fast and not traveling at geese speed.
Some birdbrain needs to come up with a better explanation than "Geese".
The military is not in the business of producing nature videos and then storing and presenting them for later analysis.

Anything that can be programed or controlled can form a formation. Its not hard to understand that. Theres a reason why theres wings on the missile.
To allow it to maneuver or change target.
Btw, it seems as if an altimeter is running in the right top corner, counting from 16000 to 16500 feet.
That would be the altitude of the recording plane.
I do understand why so many posters in there think that cruise missiles can't fly in a close formation, since they use ground and forward radar,
video and some more techniques to follow terrain and for targeting.
It would be reasonable easy however, to develop one master missile computer, which steers the slaves, and sets them free at different angles at a
preprogrammed moment. Then the individual terrain radars would start up again, when they have spread out enough.
Another poster came up with this :
Morris1962 (8 months ago)
Ok, as I said Soviet anti ship missiles did have the ability to fly in a swarm (do a search for: S-N-19 Shipwreck ). Soviet subs had the ability to
launch these missiles which were developed to take out our Carriers. (Thus denying Nato the command of the seas, so they could then take over the
world.) Anyway one missile would fly above the formation to designate targets and the others would fly below in a formation, similar to what we see
here. It is possible that the US now uses something similar
And regarding your own illusion reference, regarding your supposed geese :
billbrock1958 (8 months ago)
And how far above the ground would that hypothetical Cessna have been? And how far above the ground were these hypothetical "geese"? (Cracks open
high school trig book.) Sorry, try again.
A frame of reference illusion may indeed magnify the speed of the objects in formation, but the altitude of these objects is far too low for the
relativistic explanation to hold water.
This is also a funny one :

Could you give the Tomahawk program manager another call and ask him why the geese in question appear to have a trail of heat emitting from the back
of them?
I wasn't aware there were such things as jet powered geese to be honest.
And this one is such a beauty in its own, I have to post it, for the so needed smiles :
triton111 (1 year ago)
You're full of manure. Geese. Geese in the desert?
I'd say it's the relative idiot factor combined with several generations of family inbreeding brought on by an optic differential caused by uptaking
large doses of Wild Turkey at family reunion/ singles social that makes you see Iraqi Geese.
You got the relative motion thing right. When relatives have naked motion on each other, you get kids with cocomamie ideas like yours.
And to tip it off, we give you a bit of the so clearly understandable tech-speak :

IDK about that, cruise missiles don't fly that close, besides, this is a B-HOT image from a (NEW MExicO)F-16 FLIR...that is showing an azimuth that
reveals it is slewed... i can't tell if it's to a radar target.... but cruise missiles? they wouldn't be that color in a B-HOT, unless the
emissivity on the FLIR was set diff...
These are the latest comments conclusions :

I've seen this video a while back with the munitions impacting.They are JDAMS dropped from a B-52.

Supersonic geese clearly.
SMILE!
To get back on track, Pinch, wpaisley, whoever, what about ALL my other remarks in all my late posts in this thread?
We succeeded to sidetrack an interesting investigation of existing early witness reports which clearly indicate NoC flight paths, with one minor
remark discussion.
Let me smile, again.
