CONTINENTAL pilot claims 'missile or rocket' flying near plane over Texas...

Pulled from drudgereport.com This is the first I have heard about this,and it happened friday?Seems a little long to wait to start investigating.I guess a possible surface to air missile shot at a commercial airline isn't newsworthy.

FAA looks into what pilot saw over Liberty

• The pilot reported a “missile or rocket” flying near his airplane Friday at 8:09 p.m.,
  shortly after takeoff from Bush Intercontinental Airport, according to sheriff’s officials.
• ExpressJet flies regional routes for Continental Airlines as Continental Express.
• The flight was over the southern edge of Liberty county flying at 13,000 feet when the incident occurred
• The Continental Express jet was a commercial flight to Greensville, S.C.

In May 2008, a Continental Airlines pilot reported a similar incident.“It was the same situation, almost identical,” DeFoor said. “The FBI are pulling their records on that one. It was roughly in the same area almost a year ago.” The Boeing 737, en route to Cleveland, Ohio with 148 passengers, was not damaged. “We looked into that, along with the FAA and some local law enforcement,” Dunlap said. “To my knowledge, it was never determined what may of been observed during that incident.”
