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.
Okay, it's an ABC radio news broadcast.
I listened to the 7:00 AM national news broadcast & this time no mention of the LAX incident.
I am positive of what I heard on the 6:00 AM broadcast - I was driving & wide awake.
