Hey all, remember the apparent false alarm in Hawaii over a ballistic missile threat? Is it plausible that a country like North Korea actually did launch a missile towards Hawaii but the missile was intercepted?

Basically if that happened, the Hawaiian/federal authorities might try to prevent subsequent panic by hiding the fact that another country launched an attack on our soil. This theory is supported by the fact that an aggressor state wouldn’t want the world to think that their attack was foiled by US missile defense systems.

Or, is a missile attack too big of an event to hide from even international observers?
 
I doubt it, not just before the Winter Olympics. Besides, if the PDRK had launched an actual missile at Hawai’i, the former would be glowing in the dark right now from the response.

D
 
Too many people would know, from different agencies and countries. It would be impossible to cover up, especially in such a short time (less than 1 hour). The official story is the only one that makes sense of the rapid sequence of events.

That won’t keep conspiracy theorists from jumping all over it.

The government with its spies and realistic threats of disappearance/death can cover up a lot. But they’d want to brag about stopping a missle. They want to because missle defense systems are extremely expensive. The government wants to enrich military contractors at all costs. So they’d want to brag about this to convince the public to allow even more of their money to go to merchants of death.

The other thing is North Korea’s military capabilities are exaggerated both by its own government and ours. North Korea does so hoping to not be attacked by the US. The US does because all of our enemies must be James Bond like villains who at any moment could destroy the world for no good reason. This is to justify tremendous military expenditures. Another equally important reason is to justify aggressive use of the military. So what seems most unlikely to me is that North Korea has a missle capable of actually hitting Hawai’i. So a cover up of such an event isn’t even a question.
 
You guys bring up good points, it would be impractical for the US to hush every observing country up about a Nork launch.
 
Unless there’s some actual evidence of a missile launch (and yes, lots of people; the Japanese, the chinese, the Russians, for starters would have seen it), then this conspiracy theory is just the latest product of some deluded and self-important minds.
 
So now baseless conspiracy theories are news?

Haven’t you people learned from Pizzagate? Just because some twisted mind can produce some fantastical story and Tweet it does not make it true.

There’s an old maxim that every would-be conspiracy theory adopter should ponder before they start pushing a load of garbage: Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.
 
No cover up. Somebody just clicked the wrong box on a drop down menu. It’s easy to do. Physicians have done it with drop down menus on their electronic clinical charts. It’s easy to click the wrong box on a drop down menu and sometimes hard to correct. Drop down menus are a problem. Blame Windows.
 
But, would the activation of the EAS be a click away for a specific threat?

Have you ever seen a badly designed UI? Believe me, while I haven’t seen anything that connects to an alert system that is this bad, I’ve seen poorly thought-out UI design choices that allowed users to do some pretty hideous things (like delete a boat load of records) with little more than a click.
 
I’ve also heard speculation that it was a test to see how a target of North Korean missiles (namely Hawaiian citizens) would react in that situation
 
And I’ve heard it was an error. That explanation has actual evidence, as opposed to literally being made up.
 
@StevenMi, the latest conspiracy theory is that the missile strike was ordered by Trump, aimed at the Clintons as they were in Hawaii. Way better than “Lock Her Up” but more collateral damage. The Missile Commander who refused to launch has been reassigned, but will be awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Pence later this month.

What I read was that two options on the drop down menu were “missile warning” and “missile warning test.” I can’t vouch for its accuracy but it sounds like something that could happen.

I would really hope they would have a real button and not a drop down menu!!!😮
 
I think US allies would relish shooting down a missle.

It would make for a distinct change in negotiations. NK would be the aggressor and China would be forced to contain the threat. China has always been the party that holds the keys to this dilemma.

This I’d agree with. If NK had indeed fired a missile, and the US or one of its allies managed to knock it out of the sky, I would think they’d want to paste it all over the news, not hide the fact that they had done it.
 
I don’t believe that NK launched a missile, but if they were suicidal enough to do so, would a large proportion of the American people blame Trump for it?
