Thanks for the update. I had just recently asked if anyone had heard anything of interest on this subject.

I did hear from Douglas Hagmann from Northeast Intelligence Network, after his illness, that the matter was still being investigated.

I should check his site!

I appreciate your ping and will do the same if any news is forthcoming.

Hope you both have been doing well since the time we posted.

It's funny, I was just thinking about this thread too.

Thanks for the ping

I heard the report and then noticed that it just went away. I wish our government would stop treating us like mushrooms.

What a coincidence......as I was driving along that same stretch into work early this morning, I was thinking back to the moment when I first heard the news report on the radio about the missile attack.

I wont ever forget this & I still believe there is more to this event.

Thanks for the ping!

Please accept my apologies!
Also, I cross posted the same article here:

Would you please remove that one as well?

No problem, it's just some goofy kids playing around with shoulder fired missiles.

Still, the plume of smoke was above 5000 feet. I'm not familiar with rocketry enough, but do any of those small rockets that we can build go upward close to a mile?

Thanks very much for the ping.

I note that the "inquiry" remains open.

Why am I not surprised at their "conclusion"

[A CA Guy]

I thought CAIR would just blame Bill Handle for it.

[R. Scott]

Maybe those Mexican “bottle rockets” are a bit larger than we’re used to.

[VOA]

The smoke was several miles away from the aircraft but was visible
above the clouds at about 5,000 feet.

Mohammed, we need more propellant!

Thanks for letting us know, Velveeta.

I think most amateur rockets that you can buy at a hobby store can't come close to achieving that altitude, but homemade rockets can get to 50,000 feet+.

Still no rocket enthusiast would launch a rocket that close to an airport. This is more then likely an act of terrorism.
