- Fox News wrote me back regarding the abscence of the
UFO story from their website. Actually, they didn't offer an explanation
only a transcript of the original report:

AM To: Show -Fox Report Subject: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE UFO STORY?
-
- ...which was presented on your show tonight? It cannot
be found on ANY news site. I'm not even someone who believes in UFO's
but find this to be STRANGE. It's like the story has gone into some sort
of Orwellian black hole. It is conspicuous by its absence.

- More questions than answers at this point -- but SOMETHING
strange was going on in the Maryland night sky. Here is what we know.
-
- (voice over NORAD file)
-
- 1AM -- the Folks at NORAD -- saw something they could
not identify in Maryland airspace -- not far from Washington, DC. The track
it was taking caused them some concern. So they scrambled 2 DC Air National
Guard jets to check things out.
-
- (voice over F-16 file)
-
- The DC Air National Guard confirms two F-16's from the
113th wing were vectored to intercept whatever it was that NORAD was worried
about -- however the pilots said they did not see anything when they arrived
on the scene.
-
- The folks at NORAD would not provide details about the
exact location -- direction or the speed of the object they were tracking.
-
- (voice over map)
-
- Now -- indepedently, a number of folks who live in Waldorf
Maryland -- which is not far from Andrews Air Force Base -- and not far
from the Nation's capitol ---- called local radio station WTOP to say that
about the same time -- they witnessed a fast-moving bright blue light in
the sky. they go on to claim that the light was being chased by military
jets. One witness tells the radio station --- "the jets were right
on it's tail. as the thing would move -- a jet was right behind it. "
-
- (on camera)
-
- An investigation is underway. But, National Guard spokesman
Capt. Sheldon Smith says, and I quote "we dont have any information
about funny lights."
-
- By the way -- this is the 50th anniversary of a series
of still unexplained sightings over ther nation's Capitol -- a story that
made banner headline news in 1952.
