HOUSTON -- Federal officials are working to find out just what happened in the sky over Houston this morning. Continental Flight 1544 was 11 miles east of Bush Intercontinental Airport after takeoff this morning, when the pilot called the tower to report an object near the plane.

The plane was at about 5,000 feet at the time of the report and the flight continued on to Cleveland. Sources told 11 News that the flight was met by Continental officials and FAA investigators to interview the passengers and crew.

Must have been one of those UFOs that started appearing over Stephensville, Texas last January.

I saw a program on “Flying Rods” last night on the Discovery
channel. Maybe one of those objects was buzzing around.

I bet that thingy has a lot to do with the global cooling we've experienced in the last 6 months!

Coverup. Any other questions?

Don’t be alarmed! It was just me testing my zero-point-energy, anti-gravity run-about. Just forgot to turn my transponder on.

Well, it would appear from first blush that it indeed was flying. Further, it's not been identified, hence it could be considered a UFO.

If homeland security is on it, it might have been ground launched.

Or, it could have been a global warming caused aberration of nature, say, a 16 foot long pelican. I eagerly await the update. The air is thick with anticipation!

“The Houston area Joint Terrorism Task Force has also investigating the report a FBI spokeswoman confirmed.”

Why is the JTTF and the FBI investigating a UFO report? Was this a missile?

Well at least George Noory and his tribe of tinfoil hat wearing lunatics will have something to dwell on for the next six weeks.

No need to go to the link. No additional info there plus you get to see an ad.

A missile was my first thought....Second thought a chunk of a meteor...

First question: Was it going UP, DOWN or parallel.
