UPDATE Atlantis Return

from Breitbart

The Space Shuttle Atlantis's return flight prompted panic in a Mayan village in Mexico, with local residents inundating police with phone calls about a ball of fire in the sky and the sound of an explosion. The emergency calls came in six minutes before NASA's Atlantis shuttle landed at Cape Canaveral in Florida, some 500 miles from Chunes, a small village on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.

It was not until the evening, when authorities saw the television news, that they realized the suspicious sights and sounds had been produced by the shuttle as it streaked overhead. Prior to, the authorities searched the area to confirm that no small plane had crashed.

In an unrelated story zn astronaut from Atlantis collapsed twice Friday during a welcome home ceremony, a wobbly return that officials attributed to the adjustment from 12 days at zero gravity. Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper left the hangar at Ellington Field through a side door but was not taken to a hospital.
