Hypothesis: Clowns, posing as Chinese, hack into SM-6 (Sea Dragon) launch and targeting system (development/test version) at contractor's location, linked in real-time to test missile aboard a sub preparing to head for the test range (vs. hacking directly into sub's systems, but also possible). For development/test, the cyber safeguards are less than what a fully operational, deployed weapon would have. What would normally be a routine system status ping/response is altered to transfer target data and launch timing/activation, in order to threaten/kill a certain 747 at a certain time (POTUS/AF-1 on a covert westward route or Shinzo Abe's JSDF 747).

Trident D-5 length about 44.5 ft, SM-6 about 22 ft, 2:1. Lack of flame trail visible near ocean surface suggests that the missile is far enough away that clouds cover the lower part of the flame trail.

But, what if SM-6/Sea Dragon is "cold launched". A smaller missile could be blasted higher (with compressed air) before solid motor ignition. This would make sense if launched from a high-value boomer that wants to do everything possible to hide its position as it takes out an aerial threat. Pop up to get aerial target data from orbital assets, cold launch, followed by immediate dive. The solid motor grain profile could be tailored to minimize IR signature in the early boost phase (while still providing enough thrust to keep the weapon from dropping), giving the boomer more time to escape.

Precisely.

Red/orange object:

• burned-out booster stage (heated from within)?

• laser/directed-energy kill?

• deployed decoy with red/orange paint?

• failed orbital/suborbital/hypersonic weapon?

Maser took it out?

A tangent to the missile talk, but…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOXM1

"Forkhead box protein M1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FOXM1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the FOX family of transcription factors. Its potential as a target for future cancer treatments led to it being designated the 2010 Molecule of the Year."

"FOX M1 STOLEN TAKEDOWN"

Cabal tries to take out researcher on a plane who has a potential cancer cure that would hurt Big Pharma profits? Conveniently also detract from POTUS NK success?

Found it. Unimak Island.

Probably neither POTUS's nor Shinzo Abe's security teams would want them flying over Russia. Seems likely that the route of each from Montreal (assuming POTUS eastward route was a decoy) would have been altered from a great circle to instead follow the Aleutians. Or, this was a commercial flight from (?) to (?) carrying (?).

Maybe. But a direct hit by THAAD, etc. would have broken the target into pieces.

Near miss by the same, maybe not. At least one stage, however, seems to have remained fairly intact.

Q may be pointing to an alternative defense in the photo title:

Searched on the capitalized part –

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistle_register

"Many babies and small children regardless of sex can produce sounds in the frequency range of the whistle register without any conscious effort. Typically, the whistle register in children extends from the soprano "high C" (C6 or 1046.5 Hz) to two Gs above (G7 or 3136.0 Hz). Some children, however, can produce pitches that surpass the upper limit of the keyboard."

3136 Hz

3136 hurts?

3.136 GHz hurts (as for a microwave weapon)?"

"Earth's atmosphere is very transparent to 3.1 GHz (9.5 cm) microwaves. Hmmmmm"
