A 'micro burst' is caused by rapidly descending cold air from a thunderstorm that is weakening. They can cause 100mph+ straight-line winds. One brought down a plane landing at DFW about 15 years ago.
It's entirely different from a microwave burst, but could certainly knock a radio station offline if it hit their tower.
Thanks for the explanation. I guess I meant to type "microwave" burst, as referenced in post 3735.

The True Origins of Terrorism: Interview with Dr. Joseph Douglass

RM: What countries were the most involved in the creation of the current terrorist threat we face?
JD: The most important nation, the granddaddy of terrorism, is Russia. Russia adopted international terrorism as a strategic intelligence operation in 1955. It organized schools for terrorists, terrorist training camps, coordination conferences and much more.
Next to Russia is China. Although not so prominent, nevertheless China was one of the major actors on this stage. There is hardly a communist or former communist nation that was not involved. North Korea sponsored and was itself involved in terrorism. So were Cuba, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Bulgaria, Poland and so forth.
The one that had the most important role in the Americas was Cuba. Cuba also hosted tri-continental terrorist coordination meetings and was a base for terrorist training camps. They have been a far more serious terrorist threat to the US than Iraq because of their terrorist expertise, large number of intelligence agents within the United States, and significant BW and CW expertise. They should be one of the prime suspects in the anthrax letters of October 2001...

I thought they meant "microburst" on my first read as well, but when I read the part about three strange objects in the sky...
I think this is actually a thunderstorm microburst. The radio station in question is in Miramar, FL. There was a high precip storm cell directly above this area just before the time of the original posting. This storm "collapsed" in about 15 minutes. And the SPC has a high wind storm report at 1640UTC just 6 miles west of their location.
