A former FBI employee sent to the Flight 93 crash site on September 11, 2001 has claimed she saw a legion of angels guarding the scene when she arrived.
Lillie Leonardi has made the bizarre claims in a book written after she retired from the FBI due to post-traumatic stress disorder which began after the terror attacks.
In the book, she explained she arrived at the still-smouldering scene three hours after terrorists hijacked the passenger jet and it crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Leonardi, who was brought up as a devout Catholic but says she now practices 'spiritualism', was working as a liaison between law enforcement and the victims' families.
On her arrival, burning pine and jet fueled stung her nostrils and the entire site was eerily silent, she writes in In the Shadow of a Badge: A Spiritual Memoir.
She writes: 'The white mist then began to take shape. It moved and swirled in patterns of spectacular white light. 'All at once, the mist took full shape and I saw what appeared to be angels. There were angels standing in the open area to the left of the crash site...

The media loves to throw around phrases like that. If the news says she was “brought up a devout Catholic,” it probably means that she was baptised at some point.
No bodies there, no bodies at the pentagon. Hello?
Seems like those angels could have done more good had they gotten there a little sooner.
“...saw angels guarding Flight 93 site after deadly crash...”
Apparently they were a little late.
It looks like the Guardian Angels got there a little bit late.
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:2
Try that crap when you work for private industry.
GOD doesn’t interfere with the nonsense we create!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t doubt her!
Well, if they were supposed to protect the flight they failed. If they were there to comfort the dead, I guess they did what they could. Not exactly sure what spiritualism is but it sounds a bit wacky.
Oh, and they did it while comforting the souls on board who took part in this courageous act.
I guess his “church” experience wasn’t all that invisible, eh?
Interesting report.
A legion of angels is roughly regimental sized, while a cohort is battalion sized.
The report indicated she saw hundreds or columns of angels numbering several hundred.
She also reports they were archangels because their wings arched upwards.
Her report might be an honest eyewitness report of a spiritual perception, and indeed perhaps hundreds of angels were there.
FWIW, archangels, at least as I understand their rankings, are not described such because their wings arch. Rather, they are very supremely ranked angels above and beyond most ranks of angels. Generally, archangels are associated with the “Magnificent Seven”: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Sariel, Uriel, Raziel, and Metatron.
Angelic ranking also is associated with the numbers of wings. Cherubim have 4, Seraphim (highest rank) have 6.
Reviewing notes, she may have indeed reported a spiritual witness, but being exposed to such phenomenon is usually fairly worldview-shaking for the witness. It isn’t uncommon for them to become far more trained on the topic than most peers or seniors. Her degeneracy to “spiritism” casts doubt upon her veracity.
Like all situations for believers, either we can remain in faith in Christ to do the right thing, at the right place, at the right time,...or we can slip out of fellowship, and fall into any number of arrogant behaviors. Each believer also has different roles to play in His Plan. So while some believers might become stimulated to research every aspect of their spiritual experience, others might simply use it as a stepping stone to advance through faith in Christ to follow His Plan for them in other fashions.
IMHO, the “spiritualism/spiritist” allusion manifests preoccupation with a domain not intended for man at this time. The other indicator is the appeal to “PTS”, which becomes a crutch for approbation lust, seeking arrogant attention for her experience instead of walking in faith through Christ as He intends for us to persevere.
Her report though might be accurate.
They must have cleaned up all the debris and bodies too?
