  Anyone interested in this issue should read this story from the Drive and absolutely should scroll down and read the updates even if they don't finish the story.

    The updates make the story even more bizarre, IMO. NORAD says everything is fine, who told the FAA to suspend?

      From the original article: > The NORAD spokeswoman said the normal sequence following the launch was followed: The missile launch was detected, and it was assessed not to be a threat to the continental United States. The standard practice is for FAA to have a constant liaison in the NORAD ops center, therefore would have been aware of the quick assessment. I presume the "quick assessment" is not an instant assessment, and the FAA rep present may have passed on the "there's a missile and they're assessing right now" to HQ while it was going on.
