Weird Clouds off the central Atlantic co ast

“Space Weather News for June 23, 2003
http://spaceweather.com

Prospects look good on June 23rd for the launch of four rockets from
Wallops Island, Virginia. Harmless chemicals released by three of the rockets will create some lovely high-altitude clouds visible from parts of the US east coast. Sky watchers near coastal Virginia, North Carolina,
Maryland, New Jersey, Washington DC, and possibly parts of lower New York and Pennsylvania are favored. The launch window extends from 9:30 p.m. to
2:24 a.m. EDT.

Visit Spaceweather.com for more information. If you happen to see the clouds tonight and take pictures of them, please submit your images to spaceweather.com for possible web publication.”

“"Harmless chemicals?" Ha. Sounds like a cover for the laying of more chemtrails to me.

And what's this about four rockets being launched, but only three releasing harmless chemicals? Obviously, by saying that three of the rockets will release harmless chemicals, but saying nothing about the fourth, someone from spaceweather.com is trying to warn us that the fourth rocket will be releasing some sort of chemtrail material.

Oh yeah, the launch was delayed until tonight, so if you missed it last night, looks like you get another chance.”

“THey did this before back in hte early 90s. It made a nice purple cloud way up. It was pretty. I'll watch for it again.”

“They postponed it until tonight.”

“"Spaceweather PHONE"??

Apparently, they'll call you up and play a recorded message when the rockets finally launch.

Bad Craziness.

LOL”

“good craziness is much better....”

“It's going to be tonight!”

“What time?”

“Go to the link at the beginning of this thread and there is a live countdown going on.”

“Sorry, TB... I think we're both too far south.

But there IS a webcast... And there should be some photos later at Sky & Telescope and some other sites (including the SpaceWeather site).


Presently,

"At 12:30 a.m. the range remains at T-10 minutes and holding. Approxiamtely 1 hour remains until the first rocket must be launched if the mission is to be conducted tonight."”

“Cool ---

Well, the webcast is working. I can see the rockets on their launcher-erectors... waiting for the ionisphere to do its thing or whatever.


Which reminds me of that limmerick from Gravity's rainbow...

An engineer by the name Hector
Was fond of a launcher-erector
But the squishes and pops
Of acute pressure drops
Wrecked Hector's hydraulic connector”

“The rockets look like they're being returned to a horizontal position...


Yep! Scrubbed again --

"At 1:17 a.m. the decision has been made to scrub tonight's launch attempt. In further analysis, the 2 southern camera sites were not hampered by clouds but by haze from the heat and humidity. Following the weather briefing in the next 10 minutes we will post the next launch attempt."”

“LOL....

NOW they're saying...

"One night soon, between June 28th and July 10th, US east coast sky watchers will see some beautifully glowing man-made clouds over the Atlantic Ocean."”

“At about 2am Monday morning I was still out on a date from the night before and the girl I was with looked up and said "what the hell is that?" I turned around and saw what looked to be a vapor trail starting in the middle of nowhere and traveling south. It didn't go far before it just stoped, but it was glowing and the wind started to thist it around. I was freeked out. A few minutes later the same thing happened except there was a large circular cloud where the vapor trail started. It really spooked me at first, but after a while I remembered the Army's atmospheric testing at Redstone when I was a kid. It looked kind of the same, but with colors.”

“This story is a lie... no one that posts here dates.”

“That's just sad.”

“You used to live in Huntsville, broken?”

“Bit wants to know where you found a girl.”

“I lived in Honeycomb Valley (near Grant Mountain) at the time of the tests. We moved to Huntsville around 83-84.”

“Where did you see the clouds from monday/tuesday?”

“Virginia Beach, VA.

If bit is looking for a girl, he can get a job as a bouncer. I get hit on at least once a night when I'm working.”

“By the drunkest chicks around... something to be proud of. Beer goggles in full force I'm sure.”

“You sound like a small pathetic man.”

“Va. Beach would've been a prime location to see the 'clouds' from Wallops. It sounds like it was a killer show.




What #&%!$ing hole did this clown crawl out of? LOL

Wait... Let me guess....”

“It was bizarre.”

“"...the girl I was with looked up and said "what the hell is that?""

Boy, if I had a nickel for every time I used to hear that on a date!”

“Just curious because I live in Huntsville, broken.”

“Aero I thought it was "where the hell is it?" Just kidding bro.”

“Probably referring to all the sores...”

“Well, I'll be back there for a little while later on this summer. My parents live in Hazel Green now. The Marine Corps is trying to send me to Montegomery(SP?).”

“Here's your answer Sunday and Monday NASA was goofing around..

“... and over Moscow: http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/93092?fp=1”

“Those crazy Russkies”

“Pretty cool cloud, though.”

“we are all #&%!$ed!”

“we are all haters?”

“the end times are here it tell ya”

“ah, come on. I heard they were here to serve humans.”

“BTW, I found District 9 disappointing. It started off well with a decent premise for our times, what with the displacement of the poor in Vancouver for the Olympics and the destruction of La jungle in Calais, Fr., but it ended up as a tranformer/buddy flick.”

“Yeah, I thought it was going to be more of a dramatic piece with thought provoking questions, but it was just a shoot em up.”

“Gaseous clouds? Toxic vapors?

Did the seal on MarkO's portapoty wear out?”

“Mother#&%!$er can't even spell porta-potty.”

“I'm mistaken! All of the noxious gaz is coming outta da mouf!!!”

“Pardon me, mon frere!

I've been watching Sam Jackson movies.
