Jets Attempt to Intercept 'Contrail'
|

WASHINGTON (AP)--The military command responsible for the defense of North
|
|
American airspace scrambled fighter jets in response to unverified reports
|
|
of an airborne condensation trail, or contrail, moving from the Caribbean to
|
|
the United States, defense officials said Thursday.
|
|
|
|
Lt. Col. Michael Humm, a Pentagon spokesman, said the incident happened
|
|
Wednesday and that the North American Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado
|
|
Springs, Colo., was continuing to investigate.
|
|
|
|
The reported contrail stirred concern because of the possibility that it
|
|
could have indicated the presence of an unauthorized jet aircraft in or
|
|
approaching American airspace. In the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, the
|
|
Pentagon has taken greater precautions to monitor U.S. airspace.
|
|
|
|
A contrail is created by vapor from a jet engine in the presence of cold
|
|
air.
|
|
|
|
The jets that were scrambled to attempt to intercept and identify the source
|
|
of the contrail found nothing, said Lt. Cmdr. Curtis Jenkins, a NORAD
|
|
spokesman. He said NORAD had developed no new information since the initial
|
|
report at 4 p.m. EST on Wednesday. NORAD is reviewing data from its tracking
|
|
radars in search of evidence, he said.
|
|
|
|
A Pentagon statement said NORAD received unverified reports of ``what
|
|
appeared to be a contrail of unknown origin,'' originally in the vicinity of
|
|
the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean.
|
|
|
|
``Initially, it was reported to be heading northwestward toward the United
|
|
States,'' the statement said. ``Commercial airline pilots later reported the
|
|
contrail over Florida and later over Indiana. Thereafter, no other sightings
|
|
were reported.''
|
|
|
|
The reported contrail was never verified by visual or radar contact, the
|
|
Pentagon statement said.
|
|
|
|
At the Federal Aviation Administration, spokesman Paul Turk said, ``I'm
|
|
aware of the reports.'' He referred all questions to NORAD.
|
|
|
|
Jenkins said he was not sure who reported the initial sighting over the
|
|
Caribbean. He also was unsure who requested NORAD to launch fighter jets or
|
|
from which military bases they were scrambled.
|
|
|
|
``We don't necessarily judge or second-guess when a request comes to us to
|
|
investigate'' a contrail, he said.
|
|
|
|
Meanwhile, reports of a ball of fire streaking across the sky early Thursday
|
|
had people throughout the Northwest flooding radio and television stations
|
|
with calls reporting a meteor shower.
|
|
|
|
It was believed that the light came from a Russian rocket body re-entering
|
|
the Earth's atmosphere about 6:15 a.m. The U.S. Strategic Command in Omaha,
|
|
Neb., and the North American Aerospace Defense Command confirmed a Russian
|
|
rocket fell back to Earth, but gave no further details.
