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,"
