At :46 you see what reasonable people could conclude is a rocket stage separation. See youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2qKMchcgzk If this were the US space shuttle at that moment it would be at an altitude of 29 miles. So we might also conclude that the actual time of the launch was 2 minutes five seconds earlier for a launch time of x. Now find x. Since we know where the heli was and likely where the UFO was, 29 miles we can figure an estimated launch location. Someone find out the precise flight path, elevation, heading and direction of camera and we will have a precise calculation. In the alternative, rule out Catlina Islands/San Nicolas Islands USAF base by running the numbers to predict if a launch from their would have that visual trajectory and approximate location. Do that and you would prove USAF spokesmen to be liars in this case. Note that the solid rocket boosters are jettisoned at two minutes and five seconds after launch at the point called "SRB Staging." At that time, the vehicle is traveling nearly 3,000 mph (4,600 km/h) at an altitude of 29 miles (47 km). sources indicate that the boosters separate at an altitude of about 150,000 ft, or 30 miles, about 2 minutes after liftoff. Their momentum carries them to a peak altitude of about 220,000 ft, or 40 miles http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/spacecraft/q0183.shtml Event Mission Elapsed Time (MET) [d/h:m:s] Relative Velocity [ft/s] Mach [-] Altitude [ft] Launch 0/00:00:00 - - - Begin Roll Maneuver 0/00:00:09 183 0.16 774 End Roll Maneuver 0/00:00:17 365 0.32 2,825 SSME Throttle Down to 65% 0/00:00:30 711 0.64 9,043 Maximum Dynamic Pressure (Max Q) 0/00:00:59 1,368 1.35 35,133 SSME Throttle Up to 104% 0/00:01:02 1,428 1.43 37,284 SRB Staging 0/00:02:05 4,212 3.93 153,405 Negative Return 0/00:03:58 6,915 7.39 319,008 Main Engine Cutoff (MECO) 0/00:08:31 24,286 22.70 362,243 1.
