"as the one known undisputed fact is there was an atmospheric condition at the time."
What an absurd thing to say. If you look outside your window right now, there is an atmospheric condition... Duh!
What other facts do you have to offer? As they stand, there was a ongoing weather disturbance, and a few people saw something strange in the sky. If you think I'm skeptical it was anything else, you're right, because this story is currently being driven by absolute moonbats like Rense.com, and right now there is nothing else tangible to the story.
