Falling Debris Still Falling, Mystisfying

A curious FrontBurnervian sends along this news alert slash info request:

I am just wondering if you guys have heard anything about more flying space junk in the Dallas area? Just got off the phone with my roommate who works off of Preston and Frankford. She and a few other people were outside when they saw something zooming through the sky straight down. It then just disappeared. They are assuming it burned up. No noise or sonic booms with it. I’ve looked on the local news station websites and haven’t seen anything regarding this. Just wondering if any more people have contacted you guys about it.

I haven’t seen anything since Zac’s Leading Off the other day. Anyone got anything? Comments, on.

  2. They are saying on the news that it is part of the economy. My guess is that you saw a piece of Chrysler stock.
