HOUSTON - A missile may have just barely miss hitting a Continental Airlines flight on Friday.

Liberty County sheriff deputies are meeting with the FBI and FAA to discuss this incident.

Sheriff deputies say on Friday a missile may have been launched near Interstate 10 and mount Belview. A continental flight which had just taken off from Bush Intercontinental Airport may have been the target.

What??????

[Uncle Ike]

Ping??

[Aggie Mama]

This has happened several times before.

[LikeLight]

Seems important.

[Abathar]

Three days ago and they are just now announcing this??

[TheDailyChange]

If this is true, lets just blame Bush. After all, BUSH had the PRIME opportunity to address border security after 9 11 and failed to do so.

This is dated Monday, 01 Jun 2009.

[Jemian]

No. It wasn’t a missle. It was a bird. Yes, a really fast moving bird. Trust us.

There is no indication that this is terrorist related.

Glad it was reported in a timely manner. Guess they didn't want anybody to think it was a TERRORIST!

Probably just some undocumented workers shooting and planes Americans are too lazy to shoot down.

[TexGuy]

Man those Estes rockets are getting powerful ...

0bama’s fault

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Oh, that’s just special. What a way to start the week. Can I get an aspirin?

[Liberty Tree Surgeon]

Original Article is from June 1, 2009.

[Mr. Silverback]

Whoa!

[Behemoth the Cat]

Probably an overgrown model rocket launched by some stupid kid. A real AA missile wouldn’t miss.

[Charles Martel]

Yes, I believe near the same airport. Sounds like they have a better description of the event this time.

Still sounds like a bored kid with model rockets to me.

[LikeLight]

Well, seems important until you read the date on the original article. Which is from June.

[Palladin]

What the heck!?!

The sleepers have awakened. Is this a new wave of Jihad?

[mvpel]

Arizona-Mexico border.

[Rightly Biased]

??

[Aggie Mama]

Can you ping the list to this? IIRC it was a homemade rocket.

[Repeat Offender]

shooting "at".... AT I say.

[NY Attitude]

Maybe it was a weather anomaly or weather balloon.

It was after all taking off from the
“BUSH” International Airport.

How freeky is that?

[ducdriver]

This IS the one that happened before. Check the date.

[LdSentinal]

Is this breaking news when this article is dated JUNE 1, 2009?

[Blood of Tyrants]

You can bet that the Obozo worshiping LSM will ignore this.

[Charles Martel]

Sigh. Four-month-old “Breaking News”.

[Former Proud Canadian]

This is really big. The FAA told the sheriff that it was a “missile”. To get to 12,000 feet, it must have been a big missile.

[LongElegantLegs]

And this is just being publicized now?

[neodad]

Everybody just relax. It’s just a marine flare, or a bottle rocket. /sarc

[GeronL]

Is someone building and launching homemade rockets out there?

[brushcop]

This was posted before, I think we all discussed this in June, click on the link and read the date of the article.

Slow news day?

[tatsinfla]

thats what i was just thinking....in the same general area...??...

[GeronL]

14-stage Estes Rocket

[smokingfrog]

I keep hearing this stuff, but they never seem to catch anyone or discover anything new.

[Rebelbase]

In other news, Idi Amin is still dead.

[Hodar]

Probably an overgrown model rocket launched by some stupid kid. A real AA missile wouldn’t miss.

Neither would a surface-to-air missile. With the borders we have open, one shudders to think of how many shoulder fired SAMS have made it across the border, just waiting to be used.
The USSR has an abundance of these:

On the top a SA-18 (Igla) missile, launch tube and grip stick. Below is a SA-16 (Igla-1) missile and launch tube.

[umgud]

Isn’t the center fuel tank supposed to blow up first?

[a fool in paradise]

There was a ping on one of the earlier threads from this summer, this is a June article (posted today).

There have been several incidents in the area (2 that were months apart) but this is not a third incident.

[ari-freedom]

let's do the time warp again!!!

Here, ask him yourself:

It’s clear that the most recent Osama tape had a lot of “wake up” messages in it.

America has been very blessed not to have been attacked in the last month.

[Red Badger]

I built a Big Bertha when I was younger...............

[smokingfrog]

This is not the type of rocket that could be built by your average hobbyist.
