Large blue ufo shoots across the valley in california. Caught on tape by friend of Jenna marbles

Breakdown of how the Trident D5 works based on the footage that was captured.

[Album] "UFO" over L.A. is clearly Trident II missile. You can see all the warhead orientations

Third Stage of Trident II (burns ~50 seconds)

http://i.imgur.com/NzAGGNO.jpg

The solid fuel has up to 39% nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin, and up to 59.65% HMX. Nitroglycerin aka what's used for dynamite. HMX is again full of nitrogen and is so powerful it has been used to implode nuclear bombs. That 3rd stage has a lot of power and goes off with a big blue bang, albeit there is no sound as there is no air this high. Its going to reach an altitude over 600 miles above the earth.

max range is obtained by burning every last drop

separation of assembly and 3rd stage -now in orbit

Missile Assembly will now rotate and line up for releasing warheads 1 at a time while in orbit.

Oops I have the arrows pointed at the wrong direction. The third stage tank and tip leave the front while the warheads and base continue on.

Rotation of assembly platform

Initiating a flip to turn the warhead platform for aiming post-boost phase. Assembly will now prepare for release of 14 warheads

boost higher to avoid re-entry

Autopilot

Continues to targets downrange while in orbit

Each of the 14 warheads is released one at a time with flip turn move to basically throw the warhead away from the assembly. This boosts the downrange and improves accuracy. Assembly also rotates on its axis as well which are the plumes coming out the side from time to time.

First of 14 flip turns (aka release of warhead) and set up for next flip turn

MIRV Platform carries up to 14 nuclear warheads, each release is done with a flip turn for increased range, greater accuracy, reducing effect of releasing warhead and to gain speed to reach next release location.

Second Flip Turn, then lateral escape for next release

http://i.imgur.com/pqQ7ZIG.png

Every flip-turn would be a release of a warhead. Here see the entire flip turn and simulated release and then lateral escape between platform and warhead. No actual nuclear bombs were used.

Third Flip Turn, Clip Shows all 14 Flip Turns

Another flip-turn (warhead release); video shows 14 flip turns of a Trident II missile for 14 simulated warhead releases.

Fourth Flip Turn

Once again Another Aiming and Release of Test Warhead

Orientation movements

Fifth Flip Turn

Flip turn reduces vibrations and undulations from releasing the warhead. The turn also is also done in the direction required to gain speed for the next release location.

Sixth Flip Turn

14 orientations for targeting and release of warheads

Seventh of 14 flip turns,

http://i.imgur.com/qUyGhSu.png

Missile continues on its path and does 14 flip turns, as if it dropped in total 14 nuclear warheads (the limit of Trident II)

What is this about? This is saber rattling with China. It goes to show China we can do 14 nukes per missile if we want as the US Navy enters the South Chinese Sea. (note Arms Control Treaties limits Trident II to only 8 warheads, but this is a test, thus 14 max allowed.)

Damnit stop it with ur facts an shit, we don believe in dat, de aliens are cumin to get us better praise Jesus

[SoVi3t]

The US has learned it can nuke Russia, and the people will just blame aliens.

It’s obviously a rocket shaped alien.

I just wanted to post here and say I remember who marbles was. She is that girl with boobs that aren’t as big as the other youtube gurls boobs the latter which always puts on too much eye liner and looks like she just had a cocaine condom burst in her ass.

Well if it isn’t (and who knows it if actually is), it’s still probably some sort of sub launched ballistic missile.

That said, the timing - Saturday night where alot of people can see it and post about it on the net - is just perfect for saber rattling. Especially when you consider that APEC is next week and that both Putin and Xi will be in attendance, and the latter will be surrounded by all his angry neighbors, three of which now happen to be US Major Non-NATO Allies (Korea, Japan, Philippines) and another who, while not being an MNNA, still has a defense agreement with the US (Vietnam).

Human fascination with the “supernatural” and the religious bullshit has always baffled me. It is interesting that there may be life on other planets however, but we do not know yet, we have no evidence.
When there is no evidence, do not believe it. Wait until there actually IS scientific evidence. And in the case of religious bullshit like gods and the like, sorry… there is no evidence, and if you think you can talk to a god, you’re delusional, and in need of psychiatric aid.

are you actually telling people what they should be interested in? on a fighting game forum of all places. Dat atheist kool aid must be some good shit

Except fighting games are real?

well fighting games are just numerical shapes disguised as tough guys, big boobed ladies and bisexuals. so you might want to re evaluate what “real” actually means
