Military aircraft following commercial airliner
12/19/05 | Jigsaw John

Posted on 12/19/2005 6:25:35 PM PST by Jigsaw John

Just observed what appeared to be 3 or 4 jet aircraft, (military type fighter aircraft), following a commercial airliner, westbound into LAX about 2 minutes ago. From the OC area.

My first thought was possibly AF-1 but I don't think POTUS is in the region.

Whatever it is, it's Bush's fault.

We reviewed that site, and are all convinced that site is not displaying tactical military aircraft. For obvious reasons. Otherwise, we would have seen it.

6:30 is rush hour in LA... if it's near a freeway, circling, I'd assume it's a news plane or copter. Especially since it's hovering near the freeway.

I met 48 for you. I don't think military aircraft will be displayed on that.

But thanks.

Similar event here several hours ago. Passenger jets did 180's back to Houston followed by military flyovers. I didn't think much about it at the time and have no explanation. Maybe it'll be in the papers tomorrow.

Well that is interesting.

The event we observed this evening was a commercial jet, approximately 30mi east of LAX. But the aircraft did not alter it's westbound heading, continued west, as the 3 to 4 military fighter type aircraft came in behind and below it, following it until it was out of our sight. It only lasted about 20 seconds. However prior to the commercial jet appearing to our east, we observed the military aircraft circling for approximately 5 minutes or so, until the commercial airliner intersected their orbits, then all appeared to follow in behind it.

And this occurred in an area that is on the main approach from the east, for westbound commercial aircraft into LAX.

Here are the Three Main Points that Tokyo Rose used in every program to break the will of America's fighting men and women.

1. She told them that their President was lying to them.

2. She told them that they were fighting a war they couldn't win.

3. She told them they were fighting because the big corporations wanted things in Japan and SE Asia.

Are we hearing these same things right now?

Who are the Modern Day Tokyo Roses?
