FBI investigates Continental pilot's encounter with 'rocket' | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "A Continental Airlines pilot reported being startled by what he described as a rocket that shot past his cockpit window Monday when the plane was about eight miles north of George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force are investigating the incident, which occurred about 10:30 a.m.
'We don't know for sure what the object was. But we think it might be somebody doing model rocketing,' said Roland Herwig, an FAA spokesman. 'The pilot saw the rocket and some people saw the rocket's trail (of smoke).'"
