RUFUS - The Jesstopian Department Of Defense has identified the missile that was seen flying over Shanksville early yesterday, as a Cambridgian test missile. According to Cambridge, the reason for the test was to test the capabilities of Cambridge's air missile defense. It cites miscommunication.
"I first and foremost want to apologize to the United States Of Jesstopia for not expressing clearly enough, that we would be testing missile systems over their air space," said Prime Minister Ricketts. "We have established better communication outlets to ensure that this doesn't happen again. We sincerely apologize to the residents of Shanksville, Lorray for the early morning scare."
President McCallum is expected to give an address on the missile early this morning and on the response of the Jesstopian Air Force. He announced that talks would be ongoing with Prime Minister Fredrick Ricketts would be ongoing to ensure an incident like this would not occur again.
"This incident is very scary, but not unexpected," said President McCallum. "Communication failed and it has been fixed. However, had this been a missile from Russia, we could have shot down a Russian rocket and in turn could have started an unintended conflict."
The Department Of Defense also issued a brief statement citing,
"Systematical and communicative errors that could have led to a much worse outcome."
Secretary Of Defense Shannon Diez also made her own statement regarding the incident, calling it 'lucky' and potentially 'dangerous.' In her statement she praised Cambridge for taking blame for their blunder.
"The fact that Cambridge officials took immediate blame for the missile incident shows that this was nothing but a mistake and nothing needs to come of it," said Shannon Diez. "We all make mistakes so it will be no problem, but we are working to establish better communication with Cambridge so an incident like this doesn't happen again."
