Missile Attack On Passenger Jet?
Radio News | November 28, 2005

Posted on 11/28/2005 4:49:25 AM PST by texianyankee

I heard on the radio this morning, that a pilot of a passenger jet departing LAX claimed to have narrowly avoided being hit by a missile. It was reported that the jet was about 6,000 feet in altitude & over the ocean when the event occurred. The news report further stated that authorities believe it was possibly a flare or a "bottle rocket."

I googled but found nothing. Anyone else have some info on this? I dont recall whether it was CBS or NBC radio news.

In order to save time and web space I left blank most of Philadelphia KYW New's image html formatting yet kept and included Philadelphia KYW News' overall page formatting to show that the story was actually posted, in other words to demonstrate that one news radio station considered the missile story to be legitimate enough to include it on their website.

3D-Joy, if you scroll past the six red X's you should be able to see and read the two versions of the article, first the cached version which was dated November 28, 2005 and then the second version dated today which I found in Philadelphia KYW's archive.

Yes, got all the words then...

Just checked the Northeast Intelligence Network and the missile and this story are included in the first story upon opening the site...not conclusive just adds more information and asks more questions , I think.

This must be the reason for booking him tonight!!

There we go. Thank you. Some real progress on this, finally. Although the flight number is still wrong. But it looks like 612 would be the correct flight number - the reporter got the numbers transposed.

612 is an LAX-Chicago-DC flight.

There was a big dustup with FR and NEIN a while back when someone copy and pasted information onto FR from the subscription newsletter. I know that site cant be linked to FR....he sounds credible on the radio.

It may have been an actual missile .... fired from a US Naval vessel and aimed at a target on the China Lake Firing Range.

I find it hard to believe that the Navy would fire a missle over the LA basin to impact 100+ miles away in the Mojave desert. Not exactly standard range procedure.

The missle corridor is over the Grapevine.....over Tejon Ranch.....they regularly fly cruise missles over that route.

Mel's on it. (;-)

30 November 2005: In the wake of a possible MANPAD incident allegedly involving a U.S. passenger aircraft (see story below), and the charges against two Los Angeles area men of Chinese origin accused of conspiring to import shoulder-fired missiles, the Northeast Intelligence Network is investigating the threats facing our airlines, and is continuing to track down information pertaining to the incident that was broadcast on ABC Radio News early Monday morning, only to be removed from the airwaves shortly after the initial broadcast. Analyst and military affairs expert Sean Osborne reported on the threats from shoulder-fired missiles over the last several months. In an interestingly timed release, the U.S. Department of State last week issued a fact sheet and pertinent data concerning the threat from shoulder-fired missiles. The actual fact sheet was dated 20 September 2005.

Too bad we can't get a passenger manifest.

Or can we?
