| Rumor from a Coast to Coast AM trucker-caller: His normal loads, usually handled from FedEx freight facilities, have been suspended. Suspended because FedEx is doing priority FEMA-disaster supply work to CONUS rel. to the school-bus satellite crash or shoot-down in next 48 hours. |

This was the lunch time joke At 8:59 tonight I look up to see the lunar eclipse and at that same instant the falling spy sat is hit by the navy. On its third damaged orbit, the good stuff lands in my yard and I declare salvage rights on the pieces of spy sat that did not burn up |

Hi, we're with sector 7G, we want our satallite back. And I'm betting it ain't the fuel they are worried about..................more like this is a "special, make sure nothing remains" govt toy. |
| Some of the high pressure vessels I've worked with in the past have been several inches thick. Good for 30,000 psi. I know of some of the older guys that blew these up in reactive chemistry work. One went through a 12inch thick concrete wall. Something like this could withstand re-entry. |

Hmm..the company I work for does millions of dollars a year in work for FEMA and the department I manage does a good chunk of that. My ex-wife is a doctor and is part of the regional mass casualty response infrastructure (we're still on talking terms and communicate about problems, disasters etc). Neither of us have heard a peep. I have no doubt it's dangerous and I'm sure they're preparing but I don't think it has affected FedEx (or any other) trucking. |
Her's your answer! They don't want anything to be "found". These fuel tanks come down all the time and they never got worried before. |

Wrong,this tank was still full since it was never used on launch.1K gallons is easily enough to level a couple blocks,not to mention how toxic it is even without blowing up. |

Crazies aside... This is a 'Keyhole' photoreconnisance sat... Basically, one of the best photographic spy sats out there... In addition to concerns over hydrazine... They do NOT want foreign powers to get a hole of any even remotely intact parts, and be possibly able to improve their technology from them... |

I used to work nights & listen to Art Bell; this trucker that called in, was he the one whoz wifes-cousins-sisters-babysitters was captured by aliens, brain removed & replaced with a blender & now she spews out margraritas if she eats ice & drinks a shot of tequilla? Yea, there's a load of truth on that midnite 5 hour radio mind freak. now back to the reloading bench,,,, |
