Russian Rocket Hits Wyoming
Harmonious Botch wrote in with a CNN story that opens: "A spent Russian booster rocket re-entered the atmosphere Thursday over Colorado and Wyoming, the North American Aerospace Defense Command said.
NORAD spokesman Sean Kelly said the agency was trying to confirm a report that a piece of the rocket may have hit the ground near Riverton, Wyoming, at about 6 a.m.
Kelly said military personnel had not yet reached the scene.
No damage was reported and the debris was not believed to be hazardous, NORAD said.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing flaming objects in the sky at the time the rocket was re-entering, Kelly said."
recently a large chunk of metallic rock crashed into a house in NJ and embedded itself into the wall. Coincidence? I think not.
... why the much vaunted US anti missile defense system didn't respond to this?
Or since the radiological alarm not go off it was deemed not worth shooting at?
