The evidence is starting to add up. First, we have the absence of evidence, which is always tricky but sometimes relevant: Nobody picked up a rocket on radar, aircraft pilots did not see a vertical high speed accelerating object, etc. etc. Then we have the alternative explanations, including...
A small airplane is making a trip from city A to city B. City B is 200 miles directly north of city A. The airplane's speed relative to the air is 120 mi/h, but there is also a wind blowing directly east at 20 mi/h. The pilot points the airplane directly north, and starts the trip.

the plane is 265 m/s relative to the?
The captain of a plane wishes to proceed due west. The cruising speed of the plane is 265 m/s relative to the air. A weather report indicates that a 43.0 m/s wind is blowing from the south to the north. In what direction, measured with respect to due west...
