Fighter jets scrambled after UFO follows plane over Athens: jets were scrambled to intercept a UFO
telegraph.co.uk ^ | 9:30AM GMT 10 Feb 2009 | Matthew Moore

The object was spotted by the pilot of Olympic Airways flight 266 from Athens, and the sighting was corroborated by staff at Athens Airport and a nearby Greek air force base. Pilots of two other passenger jets also reported seeing the body.The eyewitnesses described it as looking like a large star, although it was moving erratically and constantly changing shape.Two fighter jets were sent to investigate the sighting over the Greek capital in November 2007 but the object shot up into the sky and vanished before they could get a clear view.

>>>Those who write UFO stories as distraction propaganda may be affected by generations of interbreeding in the families that pay their way.

Who can say what this incident is, but broadly speaking there are some interesting and exotic critters buzzing through the skies.

Check out the space plane that was flying just a few years ago.

I gather yet another crop of naysayers haven't

"FAIR-MINDEDLY"

considered even 3% of the material on this thread:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2166563/posts?page=1243

And, that there's some sort of mental block and/or incapacity to consider the original post of this thread remotely fair-mindedly.

And now we have some perspective pontificating about wisdom . . . when that perspective probably wouldn't recognize wisdom if it bit them in the buns.

I wonder what it is about the UFO threads that seems to be a huge super magnet for the Mothers of all CHEAP SHOTS?

Seems to be some genetic, congenital or compulsively habitual . . . what . . .
1. Fear? . . .
2. Terror? . . .
3. Incapacity to assess remotely rationally super complex data sets? . . .
. . .
4. Being raised by parents who's major claim to communications fame was an insecurity based compulsion to mock their kids derisively regardless of what the kids did or didn't do??? . . .
5. An INCAPACITY to hold more than one disturbing data point in one's noggin at the same time? . . .
. . .
6. An INCAPACITY to treat frightfully traumatic potentials seriously? . . .
7. An INCAPACITY to tolerate different world views charitably? . . .
. . .
8. An INCAPACITY to face frightful prospects boldly, rationally? . . .
9. An INCAPACITY to avoid parading one's terminal level insecurities when confronted with massively complex data sets which don't conform to microscopically small pseudo-tidy little boxed constructions on reality? . . .
. . .
10. An INCAPACITY to have and/or demonstrate a robust warm, healthy, friendly form of humor? . . .

Great points, Spetznaz. Though I don't think it's remotely CERTAIN [to the average citizen . . . or even to the average serious investigator . . . what they ARE NOT any more than it's absolutely certain what they ARE.

I still think that Guy Malone of

HTTP://WWW.ANCIENTofDAYS.NET

Has the best handle on what the critters are.

Certainly my relative vigorously insisted that the craft were some--"ET's," some ours we'd been taught to build by the "ET's" and some which were jointly 'manned.'

IF, as I and Guy Malone (amongst others) are firmly convinced, that this whole field is enmeshed in the Oligarchy's work towards a tyrannical global government as predicted by The Bible . . . . planned for millenia from hell . . .

Then

UNPARALLELED, UNPRECEDENTED DECEPTION

In the whole of the phenomena; saturating all of the phenomena . . . will be Standard Operating Procedure--part of every cell and fiber of the phenomena.

Some folks are unsettable.

Probably because Daddy didn’t hold and affirm them enough the first 6-8 years of life.

IF

as a number of purported whistleblowers have contended for some time . . .

we have been on the moon and mars via anti-gravity or some such . . .

then such a space plane may have been discontinued as

TOOOOOOOOO EXPENSIVE

a smoke screen.

one develops a habit of trying to speak the native language of the correspondent.

Some people don't want UFO's in their neighborhood. Planetists.

Greece is the only EU country left where this could get play. Something like over 67% of the adult population never use the internet.
Tabloid conspiracy theory stuff is still ripe for that audience.

I have a theory on why Panda’s are so cute looking even as adults. Normally baby animals are cute and when they grow up that cuteness matures away. Panda’s are an exception since they are native to China and they need that cuteness to survive.

What do I mean? Well it’s well known that a Chinese person will eat just about anything (maybe that’s why there are so many of us). So given this hypothesis maybe…just maybe, Panda’s evolved cuteness so that the Chinese population wouldn’t eat them. It’s a great survival adaptation since no one likes to eat anything cute. Now that’s some food for thought.

No, actually, it isn't.

The universe fits in this Dell laptop box, right here.

WOW!
That is THE best picture of a UFO I've ever seen. In focus, large object, water reflects the object, just WOW!
Have you collected money from various organizations for proof positive of UFOs yet?

;^)
