you know, we all have been asking about the video of the burning van, but I think i can come up with something that can disprove it (possibly, we got supposed witnesses)
where was the plane? we seem to have great detail on what type of vehicle was burned, what motor was used, but nothing about the aircraft that was supoposedly going to get shot down.
can someone enlighten me on this?
The problem with the reports which are real is that they only convey an amusing event and not the actual scope of the tests or the regulatory goals. But let me assure you there is a move afoot to kill "free" rocketry "officially".

I believe they were RPV's

you know..... I'm beginning to think this is all some bs national security disinformation cover story...... perhaps they took the rocketr motors to actually run explosives tests on? I mean would you want it to be know that you have never conducted any tests?

I think the difference is intent. Disinformation is wrong information with the intent to deceive.
BTW, I think your right on target. I think the fire was a surprise, it was supposed to explode. I think they picked the J350 because they did web searches and found lots of reports of CATOs (but they didn't complete the research regarding the spongy grains). When THAT didn't work, guess which motor they found next in the "most likely to CATO list"? I wonder how many D12's they bought?

Actually, it's only 2.
M=2, D=4.
actually I found your observation insightful, Alex
which to some people means the kiss of death ;)

this sounds more likely. they stuck the material on the explosives list and didn'y bother. plus the guy getting an excuse to load up on (free) rocket stuff.
how much was supposedly in the truck when on fire? I wonder if a full set could have "disapeared" into some BARs trunk......
Where do you get M=2? M=13.

In Scrabble - M=2, D=4.
M-13 is a globular cluster.
