Heard nothing. Bottle rocket at 6,000 feet? I'm buying my fireworks at the wrong place each 4th of July.

It was one of those 2-mile bottle rockets. Nothing to see here, move on.

The news report further stated that authorities believe it was possibly a flare or a "bottle rocket."

At 6,000 feet? That's one hell of a bottle rocket.

The pilot is mistaken, what he really saw was a spark in the center fuel tank.

Nothing to worry about. It was just a UFO.

Fatal plane crash mystery

Maybe it was the same thing that hit this plane back in October of 02?

Heard it on the radio. Nothing to see here. Move along. Bottle rocket or distress flare. Move along.

I wonder why they would bother trying to shoot one down, which would be difficult, when they can easily just put a bomb in the cargo hold.

That said, if it was a missile the radio probably sent the report out by mistake and they have been told to shut up. Or, the other scenario, pilot did see a missile, and the media will be told "not terrorism" as they are always quick to say!!

It was just the center fuel tank getting ready to spontaneously combust.

If this was a terrorist attempt to down a plane and it well could be, I am more puzzled than ever about their mental state. What exactly do they think they are going to accomplish with the downing of one plane? The downing of 10 or 20 planes would scare and cripple us for a while, a nuclear blast in the heart of any city would certainly give us pause, but one plane? Are they feeling irrelevant and they just want to remind us that they are still out there?

Even is one had it, officials would have claimed tail windsheer or wind ripples as the cause.

[Don't want to alarm the sheeple, ya know. 9-11 would have been claimed a bad accident had it not been for that 2nd pesky plane and that 3rd pesky plane in Washington and that 4th pesky plane in Pennsylvania.]
