This is really disgusting. I know what I heard on the radio this morning. It was reported on an ABC newsradio broadcast - yet i can find absolutely nothing on google.
Why on earth it would be reported on a news radio broadcast yet nothing more on the internet - at least not yet?
I googled LAX, missile, passenger jet, ABC news, etc....
no luck.
There is a delay. The AP writers are finding out from the FBI what they are supposed to write. /s
Call the radio station. Maybe they know where to get some of them high performance bottle rockets.
Do we know when this incident was? It is only 5:35 AM PT as of this writing. Do commercial planes take off that early out there? I know many major airports usually do not have flights before 5:30 AM.
Reminds me of something I heard on ABC radio on September 11, 2001, shortly after the second plane hit the WTC.
The report was that "The FBI has determined that this was NOT a terrorist attack" !
Now I don't remember if this "news" report was read by an ABC news national correspondent, or by our local morning radio personalities (Curtis Sliwa & Ron Kuby) at the ABC affiliate station, WABC-New York.
But I know I heard it!
Also, when the USS Cole was hit, I just happened to be surfing the AP's international news headlines, and saw a tiny article about it there. I rushed to turn on the radio and TV -- but heard absolutely nothing about it reported on air for several hours.
One possibility is that you heard it on a local ABC radio station, rather than on their national broadcast.
Some ABC radio stations in a cost-cutting move have been using generic news feeds from the same company which provides their local ABC traffic reports. The reporters might even identify themselves as ABC reporters for the individual station. That makes it difficult to differentiate them from real ABC reporters.
If that is the case, it would then be possible, though probably unlikely that the news/traffic service company reporter erred or misread a report off the wire.
Someone else on this thread also heard the report.

I worked in radio for nearly 20 years and we had had a live 5 minute ABC news feed (from N.Y.) every hour on the hour. I heard many weird reports like this during a single broadcast that were never repeated and unless the local radio station folks were actively listening to it (which is unlikely as they are busy getting ready for the next segment) they will know nothing about it.
I have even called ABC to get a follow up on some strange stories and no one there (in N.Y.) ever seems to know anything about them.
