Could be just an experimental plane being tested without the knowledge of Andrews.

Yeah, great test. "Hey Major let's see if we can make the President crap his pants this weekend." That would be cool.eheehee..eh..heeheehehehe.

A high-altitude hypersonic plane could be heading out to the seaboard, develop some fault and be forced to reduce altitude and airspeed unexpectedly, perhaps in the Washington region. But......

Guess it must be aliens then eh.

I sure the President is kept up to date on secret tests.. although he may not know the specifics of said plane.. wouldn't matter where theyd id it.. and they could of been testing andrews with the plane to see it's response time.. two tests in one.. shabang!
