I heard on the radio this morning, that a pilot of a passenger jet departing LAX claimed to have narrowly avoided being hit by a missile. It was reported that the jet was about 6,000 feet in altitude & over the ocean when the event occurred. The news report further stated that authorities believe it was possibly a flare or a "bottle rocket."
I googled but found nothing. Anyone else have some info on this? I dont recall whether it was CBS or NBC radio news.

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

"What radio station did you hear this on?" I heard it on 1620 AM dial - WTAW out of College Station at 6:00 AM CST. This was a national news broadcast - I got my office radio tuned into the same station - in case it is repeated. BTW - i thought the same thing when they stated it was possibly a "bottle rocket" - at 6,000 feet? The jet was on its way to the east coast - did the turn over the ocean when the pilot claimed he witnessed a missile.

That must be what they sell out of the back storeroom.

I would have thought that, too. Unfortunately we were mistaken. Quite a few here at FR believe it and argue for it.

And it is a depressingly low figure.
