Officials from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) on Saturday intercepted an unidentified flying object over the skies of South Texas, according to military blog The War Zone. NORAD dispatched an array of jets, including a KC-135 tanker and an E-3 Sentry airborne warning and control aircraft, to meet the object after it was picked up on radar, the blog reported. At that point, the object was flying westbound toward the Gulf of Mexico.
