On 11/17/00 Whitleysworld published a story about numerous UFO sightings in Texas and Oklahoma that included accounts of a massive UFO being observed in Elk City, Oklahoma, and a series of extremely bright flashes of light in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

We normally follow up on reports like this, and have been unable in either case to obtain any information about such events from any source other than the original sources mentioned in the story. Therefore, we cannot confirm these stories at this time, but will provide further information if we are able to do so. However, it should be remembered that UFO sightings are fleeting events, and often it is extremely difficult to obtain supporting testimony.

This fascinating insider’s story of the recount process in action has been prepared by Democratic activist Angela Glover Blackwell. She makes no secret of which side she’s on, but she provides all of us with an inside look at what has so far been a pretty mysterious process. What’s actually happening in the world of chads, dimples and the future of our country? (Bear in mind that this is from Thursday the ninth, so it’s a little out of date as news, but as insight into the political process it is timeless.)

On October 13, 2000 at approximately 7:30 PM a group of lights streaked across the Midwest, appearing first over northwest Texas, and ultimately being sighted from Oklahoma to Nebraska and as far east as Illinois.

On October 18, NASA issued a statement that the objects were the remains of a Russian Proton rocket that had been fired earlier that day had re-entered the atmosphere and broken up. In an unexpected development, US Space Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command both said that no such object had entered the atmosphere at that time.

Then, on October 29, NASA announced that the remains of the rocket had been found on a farm near LaCrosse, Kansas. This appeared to close the case, as Whitleysworld reported on October 30.

The Leonids are coming, and it’s a pretty decent meteor storm! Sky watchers in North America may be able to spot an unusually beautiful type of meteor called Earthgrazers during this year’s Leonid shower.Earthgrazers are long, bright shooting stars that streak overhead from just below the horizon. They often display colorful halos and long-lasting trails. Earthgrazers are so distinctive because they follow a path nearly parallel to our atmosphere.

Observers in the Canaries counted upwards of 90 meteors an hour earlier tonight, and Canadians are seeing as many as 230 an hour. This is nothing like the 10,000 an hour the Leonids are expected to bring in 2001 and 2002, but it still makes for a wonderful display. Click here to learn more.
