Something indeed was moving about in the sky. A hat tip to the Wonkette Blog for this story. Researchers have acquired the radar tapes from the date in question. The same radar reliably used to safely manage air traffic around the world everyday confirms what the Texas locals were saying. An unknown object (UFO) moved as slow as 49 mph and as fast as 2,100 mph through Texas airspace. And military traffic was in the area too.
Don't look for any follow-up from the big media but do read the MUFON report (PDF) because it is rather interesting. A large, unidentified, radar and visually confirmed something was heading towards the President of the United States Texas ranch. Does that mean it was little green men? Nope. It means something we can't explain happened and our response to that should be more interest not less. Something tells me the media will just move on for fear of being painted as part of the lunatic fringe but what if instead they started asking questions. I won't hold my breath but that would be nice.
