Texas and the Riders of the Purple Haze

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/falling_debris

The FAA has announced that the fireball in the sky over Austin was definitely not a piece of one of the sattelites that collided in space last week. Or aliens that killed John Kennedy. Or anything like that. In case you were wondering. Ahem.

There may be a lot of things in my home state that don't make me happy. But one thing I love is that we have regular sightings of mysterious things in mid-air. Even if, as in this case, they turn out to be just a fairly large meteor. Or swamp gas. Or a weather balloon. Or something like that. But definitely not aliens. Ahem.

Aaagh. Jedi mind tricks! Do you suppose that's what the government is studying at Area 51?
