FlashWalker?

I was watching Discovery Channel and they had a documentary on UFO's today. At the end of the program they said that a UFO had been detected by NORAD by one of the Missile Detcting Satellites. NORAD named it a FlashWalker and it appeared in the detector for 9 seconds. Apparently the UFO entered our Atmosphere, turned 90 degress and left our Atmosphere. The Narrator of the program then went on to explain that there was no way a Meteor or any other inanimate object would be able to do such a manouver. Our Gravity would have sucked it into our Planet. I tried to do a search on it and didn't come up with anything. Has it been mentioned here before? The program I watched also mentioned the Aurora Project and how a Radio Enthusiast heard the Military use Starwalker as a callsign after he saw a Weird looking Contrail. There was also some other material about how a UK Air Force Trained plane Spotter saw an Air Force Tanker refueling a Weird Looking Trangular Shaped Aircraft. Bob Lazaar was also mentioned on this program. All in All it was very interesting to watch. Sorry if any of this has been posted before. I haven't been here all that long. I'd like to know more about this "FlashWalker" UFO..

NORAD Confirms UFO: The next day, the controller made another check with NORAD, and he was told that they had indeed tracked another unknown target the night before that was at first stationary, then accelerated and stopped again very rapidly. These quick darts were estimated at somewhere between 1,000 and 1,400 mph.

Is this the one you are talking about?

1995 America West UFO

That is definitely a misquote by the show. The term is FastWalker, not FlashWalker:

Wiki : FastWalker

Fastwalkers is a term created by NORAD (North American Air Defense Command) to classify Unidentified Flying Objects which enter our atmosphere or leave it at a great velocity and which are sometimes captured on the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) satellite system.

(Check other sources which confirm FastWalker)

Thanks for that info. I may of heard it wrong.

I find it interesting that not much has really been said about the incident regarding the Satellite Detection of the UFO. The Documentary also had a copy of the Data Printout from the particular detection. Whatever it was came from Space and headed back out to Space..

Thanks for setting me straight on this one.

Cheers.
