We've just received a bulletin from the North American Aerospace Defense Command, commonly known as NORAD. They have been tracking an unidentified object flying a roughly east-to-west trajectory at incredible speeds. Preliminary data show its progress at approximately Mach 3000. There is a visible red light at the anterior of the object, followed by what appears to be 8 or 9 carbon-based life forms and a carriage-like vehicle. Scanners indicate there may be a passenger of humanoid form. NORAD projects that it will reach the eastern border of the United States shortly after midnight. In an unprecedented move, NORAD is providing real-time information to the public at (877) HI-NORAD and online at noradsanta.org . Children especially are encouraged to call. That number again is or (877) 446-6723 or noradsanta.org

The Public Utilities Commission is considering allowing about 1,200 more customers in northern Nevada, to install rooftop solar systems and get older, more favorable rates when they sell back excess electricity. The PUC discussion comes a year after regulators raised rates for rooftop solar customers. That led to layoffs in what was once a fast-growing industry.
