Weather service meteorologists say it was not one of their balloons.

This is extremely troubling. Any followup? Part of a weather balloon fell near Ephrata- PA recently- apparently object had wires sticking out of it and was humming.

Also, haven't 2 "Twin City" areas had incidents this week?

REPEAT:

"Ambulances on Alert" (ABCNews)
Officials Fear Emergency Vehicles Could Be Used by Terrorists

By Chris Cuomo and Richard Esposito

NEW YORK CITY: The very lights and sirens that urge us to make way when we see and hear an ambulance approaching could be powerful tools in the hands of terrorists intent on using that very promise of help to camouflage a bomb. Incidents using ambulances to deliver bombs occur with some regularity in the Middle East. Recently, 10 people were killed in one such incident in Iraq.

On Aug. 1, U.S. officials warned that al Qaeda terrorists could be planning attacks on financial institutions in New York City, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. ABC News has learned that in the wake of that alert, authorities in the Northeast are investigating at least four incidents where people asked suspicious, detailed questions of firefighters and emergency personnel about how ambulances are operated — how fast they go, and when drivers should turn on the siren
