Friday night's unidentified flying object over Southwest Houston was reclassi-

It turned out to be a prank engineered by an enterprising Rice freshman,
Bob Vanzant, a chemical engineering gstudent.
Vanzant, the son of Dr and Mrs Thomas J. Vanzant of 3828 Inwood, master-
minded the launching of two hydrogen-filled oons carrying six railroad
flares.
