Is it terror or a prank. The Feds are telling everyone involved not to talk.

It's never terrorism.

Even when it's terrorism.

Must be a prank then. Everyone knows there have never been middle-easterners walking into America through that porous southern border planning attacks against us. /sarc

He said the FBI's Houston office is investigating to see if a rocket club launched something into the air.

Even if it was a rocket club, what kind of fool would admit it? Probably end up in Gitmo as they release real terrorists.

It couldn’t be a missle with TWA 800 inspite of the Eyewitnesses and evidence, so surely this must have
been swamp gas that the Pilots observed.

Maybe the same rocket club that was practicing night launches around flight 900 took a trip down to Texas.

From WND.com some time ago, “In 1994 there was a French Mistral missile that was fully loaded ready to fire on its tripod. One man carries the missile and another man carries the tripod and it’s an extremely potent point defense missile,” explained Cmdr. Donaldson.”
“ The Maryland state police found it alongside a country road near Westminster, Md.”
Probably a prank or from a rocket club?

There are many places close to the airport where a rocket could be launched without detection from the ground.This went from object sighted yesterday to rocket spewing fire and smoke today, what else might they not be telling us.
