NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN KANSAS FIREBALL STORY

>From Mark Kidger <mrk@ll.iac.es>

Benny:

Nice to see you back on the air again.

The Kansas fireball of October 13th hits the news again... You may remember
that NORAD were denying that it was space junk, despite ever-increasing
evidence that it was the Russian Proton booster of a Glonass (GPS) satellite
launch. Well, a surprised Kansas farmer has found the battered remains of
the rocket on his farm. I spoke to the Wichita Eagle reporter who has been
covering this "UFO" story, she says that she is going to try and get a
comment from NORAD on the find.

Readers may find the following report interesting. This seems to settle the
case for once and for all.
