D.C. Alert Triggered By Clouds

"After vanishing from radar, the target then reappeared several minutes later -- this time just seven miles from National Airport, stirring serious concern among Customs and Border Protection officials, Bracken said. The agency dispatched a Black Hawk helicopter to the scene. A U.S. Park Police helicopter and another from a local law enforcement agency, which were already airborne, also scanned the area."

It probably really was a weather anomaly. But the government has such an infamous habit of explaining away genuine UFOs that you can't really blame sky-watchers for accepting the official verdict with a hint of skepticism.
