Meh serves me right for linking through IAB.. let me see if I can find another source.

Well it has offically been purged from the web as far as I can tell.

But here is a montage of photos.

Doesent look like a towed drone to me

Look its simple, a Hun airship slipped though a time warp from 1917 and arrived July 7th 2010 and bombed China.

Found the vid again here:

Looks pretty much like a (two or more stage) rocket shot to me, viewed from long range.

The dust trail is so broad because while the sun is below the horizon, its rays are still going through the upper atmosphere, which makes any reflective object (or gasses) lit up by them look extremely bright and visible against the dark sky. You wouldn't see that kind of tail in daylight against a blue sky.

Whatever it is, it's cool. I want one.

I hope you realize though that my towed drone example was semi off-topic, since it was in response to a totally unrelated (to the current Chinese "UFO") video put up by Stealth Hunter on page 1 or 2.

What you expect me to read the entire thread

I was being a little glib sorry if it came off as dismissive.

No worries. I just wanted it to be clear. What's with i-cred and all.

(Yeah, I looked that up just now, figuring such a word must exist by now lol)

Around 33 seconds in to the video there appears to be its 1st stage separation. Also its trajectory looks quite low more like a arty rocket than a SCUD, I think they call that a Depressed Trajectory Shot when done with ballistic missiles.

Looks like the Chinese ASBM...

I would think that a FROG would make more a wooshing sound.
