Hong Kong (CNN)The crew of a Cathay Pacific flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong saw what they believed was a North Korean ballistic missile re-entering the Earth's atmosphere last Wednesday, the airline said Monday.

Cathay said in a statement that it had been in contact with relevant authorities, industry bodies and other airlines about what was seen from Cathay Pacific flight 893, and at the moment there were no plans to change flight routes.

"Though the flight was far from the event location, the crew advised Japan ATC (Air Traffic Control) according to procedures. Operation remained normal and was not affected," the statement said.

My son's father in law flies several Asian routes for one of the major airlines. One more thing to worry about...  Flying in the area when junior decides to launch another one. Hopefully we pick it up quickly enough to warn any aircraft in the area.
