Do wire sevices originate from somewhere in left field?

Today, the Austin American-Statesman (the local rag) carried a wire
service report which contained the following sentence:
"Then they fired one of Columbia's three main engines briefly to raise
their orbit to 195 miles..."

Gee, today orbital rendezvous and mating with an ET (boosted
clandestinely by a top-secret USAF heavy-lift vehicle, no
doubt); tomorrow, who knows?
(Haw!)
