Feds mum on “missile” incident involving passenger airline

Passengers advised not to talk about incident

27 May 2008: Shortly after takeoff yesterday morning, the pilot of Continental Flight 1544 reported seeing a rapidly moving object with a thick smoke trail closing in on his aircraft and shooting past his cockpit window. According to some of the crew and passengers aboard Flight 1544 traveling from Houston to Cleveland, it appeared like some type of missile was headed toward the aircraft. The plane was at an altitude of 5,000 feet and 11 miles east of Bush Intercontinental Airport when the pilot radioed the control tower to report the sighting. The object was described as “missile-like with a thick contrail,” and traveling at a high rate of speed.

As currently being reported by various media outlets, the FAA is suggesting that the object seen by some of the 148 passengers and six crew members was a model rocket. This explanation, however, falls short in many areas.

One passenger who was aboard the plane and saw the object told Northeast Intelligence Network director Doug Hagmann early today that “it was definitely no model rocket.” This passenger, who contacted the Northeast Intelligence Network after seeing news reports about the “near-hit,” stated that she was interviewed by an agent of the FBI in Cleveland yesterday. She declined to provide her name as the agent advised her “not to talk publicly about [this incident] as it is under investigation.”

“I just want you to know that the news reports are not accurate. That’s not what I saw,” stated this witness.

Flashback…

It was on November 26, 2005 when the pilot of American Airlines Flight 612 reported a “near-hit� from what was described as a rocket as the aircraft was traveling over the Santa Monica Bay at approximately 5,000 feet. Although the incident received scant media attention, the Northeast Intelligence Network provided an extensive investigative report on the incident, complete with audio from the pilot and control tower, at this link.

Additional details on this latest incident will be provided as they are developed.
