Explosion is just the term for what it appeared to be. As I follow up in my statement, that it then made the shape of a J as if it were taking off on a flight path.. as seen from the ground it would appear to be a J, but up the the air it could have been as simple as an east heading before shooting into the sky.. Either way, we didn't have anything in the air that night capable of doing anything like that, and the base we were on shouldn't have had the support for anything like that...

You could be absolutely correct..
