Bright green light and this sighting over chicago. Were they meteors or Something Else . And taylor swift is not going to shake it off. Why the biggest pop star in the world says shes taking a stand and pulling all her songs this morning from spotify. What this could mean for how all of us buy our music. And good morning, america. Lots to get to this election morning and, robin, you are back from a big night for our friend, michael. Theres the towel. I like the gift you brought back for me. Check this out, guys. Thats all yours, george. Hall of fame ring he got last night. I could fit it around my whole hand. Right here. Look at that thing. Michael, great to see you last night running out between all those former teammates of yours. Congratulations. Thank you, thank you. Your parents were there. I mean, that was a great moment there at halftime. You know what, first of all, thank you, you guys, for coming. Really awesome to have you there and be a part of it. Just to see all my old teammates. And the fans. Then the people you play for, play with, it was the highlight of my life. And you know, everybody gets this. Every other weekend well rotate the ring. All right. Your speech was spoton. Well share a bit of that later. Thank you. Cant wait for that. We are going to begin with this big national election. Your voice, your vote. Lets take a live look at the white house right now. President obama is going to stay home today as millions head to the polls. He is not on the ballot but this election with so much at stake is very much about him and his policies. Abcs jon karl is here. Jon, this vote will shape, could even shake up the president s final two years in office. George, this will go a long way towards defining president obamas last two years in office and while he hasnt been on the ballot this election has seemed like one all about the president. This morning, president obama is playing a starring role in elections across the country. Obamas senator, not yours. Pryor, obama. Reporter in state after state, republicans have painted this election as a referendum on barack obama, prompting even some democrats to run their own ads criticizing the president. Im not barack obama. The administrations policies are simply wrong. Reporter Michelle Nunn from georgia aired this ad to show a photo of her with president obama is not what it seems. But what he doesnt tell you is that it was taken at an event honoring president bush. Reporter the president recently played right into the republican game plan. Im not on the ballot this fall. But make no mistake, these policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them. Reporter in race after race republican candidates have made sure everybody saw that. These policies are on the ballot. Reporter the president is unpopular nationally, but even more unpopular in states with Competitive Senate races. You dont agree that the president s been considered politically toxic to many of those democrats running . It wont surprise you to hear that i do not agree with that assessment. I think youd expect him to say that, jon karl. I dont know what else he could say. Youre over at the map right now. What are the key races youll be looking at tonight when we think about this control of the senate which hangs in the balance . Reporter you have 16 states where you could see Party Control change. 13 are held by democrats but if you want to see if republicans get control, here are three states to watch most closely, first of all, colorado. This is a state that went twice for barack obama. Its where he accepted the democratic nomination in 2008. But as you can see the republican cory gardner has a slight edge and a slight edge in the early vote and could win there. Iowa, this is the state that really gave birth to the obama candidacy in 2008 when he beat hillary clinton. You have a race here that is neck and neck. If anything youve seen some momentum on the republican side with joni ernst. If republicans win both of those states, theyll win control of the senate. But there is a wild card here. Kansas. This is a state that is about as republican as they get. They havent defeated a republican senator here since 1932. But look at this. You have an independent, orman, greg orman, who could win this race. And then theres an allout bidding war because he hasnt said whether or not he would caucus with democrats or republicans. He could hold the balance of power on election night. And on top of that, there could be runoffs in louisiana and georgia in december and january. Which means we may not know who will control the senate for awhile. Reporter i think there is a very good chance we will have no idea at the end of the night would will control the senate. Let me bring in matt dowd. You saw from jons piece right there how disillusioned americans are with president obama and how much a factor this was. This is a broader rejection election. I think its an election about how sour the country is. And about both parties. Neither party in the aftermath of this election is going to be embraced by the country. The president for the second midterm in a row for him can win a president ial election usually going away. But for the second midterm, this is a rejection of him and his leadership because he is the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party is likely to lose seats. Thats what its looking like. Lets look ahead a little bit to 2016. A new poll out this morning which Shows Hillary clinton far more popular than her potential republican opponents right now. And in many ways, todays midterm is the starting gun for 2016. I think it will start tonight before the pols close. All these candidates will be in their rooms, potential candidates and i think the biggest question mark in this whole thing is hillary clinton. Democrats will pivot off her and republicans will pivot off her. She is the candidate most popular right now. And i think at that point is that decision she has to make. Everything else falls from there. The dominos fall based on hillary clinton. Okay, matt dowd. Thanks very much. Youll be here and jon karl will be here. Well have our special election hour. Seven hours of breaking news across all our platforms. Primetime special at 10 00 p. M. Right here on abc. Were covering it more deeply than ever before. And youll be right back here tomorrow morning with the latest. A scandal rocking the air force. Two commanders in charge of our Nuclear Missiles have been fired. The military calling it a loss of confidence in their leadership. This is the latest setback for this group of elite officers. Abcs Martha Raddatz is here, has the latest. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, robin. I think people forget that there are 450 nucleartipped missiles across americas plains. I was there last year visiting one of those nuclear facilities. They had real leadership problems then. They have real leadership problems now. Apparently, these two commanders relieved of duty, one for saying to a pregnant air force worker that her career would be negatively affected by pregnancy. And also just some verbal abuse. Theyve had real problems in the past with gambling, drugs, alcohol, and cheating. Theyre trying to clean that up right now. People want to know, are the missiles secure when you have this behavior . One of the things they told me is absolutely this will not affect the security and were thankful for that. Yeah, thats a small thing to be thankful for a big thing to be thankful for. And martha, youre going to be part of our election coverage. You know its election day when martha is here, jon. George. All excited about the evening. We might take a little nap this afternoon. Maybe a little one. Well turn now to that desperate search for a young woman violently abducted off a philadelphia street. You see her forced into a car. The whole scene caught on camera.

Good morning, everyone. We begin with some unusual sightings lighting up the night sky. Police dashcam in West Virginia caught this bright light, look at that.

A similar fireball was seen streaking across the sky over japan monday night, setting social media ablaze with witness accounts. In chicago, however, this light moved slowly across the sky.

Just as millions of americans plan their travel for the holidays, the government is suing Southwest Airlines this morning claiming the airline failed to properly make important safety repairs. Southwest is fighting back. Abcs david kerley joins us now with the details. David, good morning. Reporter amy, as you mentioned it involves 737s which the faa says are improperly repaired. It warned southwest about this, but the airline put the planes back in service anyway. This morning, the government is suing southwest for 12 million, thats the second biggest fine ever against an airline. It was announced this summer but southwest disputes the faa findings and has refused to pay. Now, starting back in 2006, a contractor in everett, washington, was replacing the aluminum skin on 44 jets. But the faa says when the workers put in a sealant and adhesive in the joint they didnt put these rivets in fast enough to ensure a good seal so that moisture wouldnt get in there. Southwest says it is looking forward to defending its record in court against the government. Amy . All right, david kerley, thanks so much. And from planes to cars, the government is investigating whether honda failed to report deaths and injuries resulting from defective air bags made by the Japanese Company takata. 5 million hondas have been recalled.

Ronald mccoy was serving life for Armed Robbery but lucky for authorities, mccoy proved worthy of our evergrowing dumb criminal file. After three days on the lam Police Easily spotted him at a gas station. Why, you ask . Because he was still wearing his prison uniform. Oh. Three days later after escaping. Forgot that small detail. Hello . I just escaped from prison, everyone. Okay. Its the new black. Really . Wasnt it like halloween around that time . Maybe they thought it was a costume. We had some smart Police Officers thank god, capturing that dumb criminal. Love the file. All right. Lets move on now to a big battle brewing in the music industry. Taylor swift abruptly pulling Health Care Workers all of her albums from the streaming Service Spotify days after the release of her hot new album 1989. Well, now spotify is working hard to try to win her back and Rebecca Jarvis has our story. We are never ever ever getting back together reporter it looks like taylor swift is never ever getting back together with spotify. The number one streaming service in the world. After swift and her music label abruptly pulled her entire catalog from the service, which has 40 million subscribers. Swift has never seemed a big fan of streaming services writing in the wall street journal last summer that piracy, filesharing, and streaming have shrunk the numbers of paid album sales drastically. And every artist has sandaled this differently. The move sets up a showdown with apple, where swifts music is Still Available on itunes. For her new album 1989 the singer had an exclusive agreement for a trackbytrack release on itunes. And on beats, a streaming service which apple acquired last january. 1989 has had an incredible opening week run, with 1. 3 million copies sold. But swift didnt release 1989 on the service. Insiders speculate swift has always been weary of spotify, initially refusing to release her 2012 album red to the service. Spotify says they hope swift will change her mind and join us on building a new music economy that works for everyone. And from what im hearing this morning, taylor swift isnt the only artist planning to go this exclusive route. Rumor has it beyonces new album will drop november 14th, also exclusively on itunes. And, robin, the thing is, this changes how we listen to music and also can change how we pay for music and what we pay for music most importantly. Stay tuned.
