Shuttle Hoax: Now, That Ain't Funny

Woman Recants Story About Discovery Of Audio Tape

A Nacogdoches (TX) woman called the Daily Sentinal newspaper there last week, claiming she'd found a mini-cassette in the debris field created when the shuttle Columbia crashed Feb. 1. As it turns out, she was lying. Recovery teams have been scouring the heavily wooded hills in southeastern Texas and western Louisiana since the shuttle broke up during re-entry, but have so far come across no usable audio tapes from th edoomed flight.

The unidentified woman reportedly called the Daily Sentinel asking for a telephone number to contact the local Columbia Recovery Office. That's when things got just a little weird.

"The lady contacted the Columbia Recovery Office and said she did not have any shuttle debris," NASA spokesman Kyle Herring said Friday. "We have no reason to believe otherwise." But they do think it's the same woman who called the newspaper. Go figure.
