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

Posted on 02/10/2009 4:03:18 AM PST by JoeProBono

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.

Thanks much.

Will check it out.

You mentioned another Mufon report from around those parts around the same time???

Do you have a link for that?

You are so encouraging.

That summary you copied is the critical issue.

And that folks not fall for it but cling to God as tightly as they know how to.

TO KNOW BECAUSE THEY KNOW BECAUSE THEY KNOW BECAUSE THEY KNOW

THAT THE BIBLE IS TRUE REGARDLESS of the deceptions of the critters to the otherwise—and they will be considerable.

We must KNOW GOD from HIS WORD BUT AS IMPORTANT—FROM WALKING WITH HIM AND KNOWING HIS VOICE AS CHRIST DESCRIBED—HIS SHEEP KNOW HIS VOICE.

Interestingly, in that instance, He did not say—HIS SHEEP KNOW HIS WORD. BUT HIS VOICE.

When the ET’s produce purportedly holographic videos purporting to prove that they created all the great religious leaders of history and the related texts—CHRISTIANS WILL HAVE TO KNOW CHRIST AND FATHER AND SPIRIT INTIMATELY TO STAND . . . BY HIS SPIRIT, IN HIS BLOOD.

And how to test the spirits—do they affirm that Christ came in the Flesh and the basic doctrines of the Faith, or not?

The link I posted below includes the Cisco report. Look at the one described as “Group of unknown amber lights in sky, southeast of Cisco, TX”. There is a photo, but the UFO in it he has added himself to give an idea of what he saw. Funny, I am thinking of doing the same thing myself before memory fades. My daughter is very good with Photoshop, so will probably get her to do the same.

Don’t know if I forgot this or missed it.

My MMPI was persistently amazingly sane. LOL.

Thanks for your kind posts.

I think the double walled polycarbonate bends less than the single sheets. I think the single sheets are doable in a quanset hut design depending on the diameter. Probably the double walled, too. They need some capacity to expand and contract. I need to take some screws out of my tomato bed’s glazing.

Moving along . . . just got computer back yesterday. Trying to get everything reinstalled and coursework administrivia finished before I need to leave for classes today.

Blessings,

Thanks.

I finally got the drift of it looking at it with more than a glance! Rushing about today.

UPDATE FROM WHITLEY STRIEBER'S SITE:

http://www.unknowncountry.com/journal/?id=354

EXCERPT below posted per my standing permission from him. The rest of the doc is available at the link above.

'Virtual' UFO Disclosure Already Here
Friday January 30th, 2009
     previous | next
Yesterday, Denmark released its UFO files, stating that, while most were explained, a number of them most certainly were not. Today the German government stated that a UFO that crossed the southern part of that country last week was a definite unknown. Last week, British Ministry of Defense UFO specialist Nick Pope said that the Royal Air Force had fired on UFOs, and, late last year, Ministry of Defense records showed that a US Air Force pilot had been ordered to fire on a UFO over that country in 1957, but had not released his rockets because the object (the size of an aircraft carrier) disappeared just as he was about to pull his trigger.

And this is hardly even the tip of the disclosure iceberg. The only thing that remains is some kind of official announcement from the US government, admitting that there are unknowns in our skies. The reason that I specify the US government in particular is that it is really the only one that hasn't at least tacitly acknowledged the existence of this phenomenon.

There is no reason, at this point, for the government to do more than two things: first, to acknowledge that government entities such as NASA and the US Air Force have at times tracked objects that could not be explained; second, to direct the National Science Foundation to change its policy and encourage research into the phenomenon, rather than discourage it.

Over the years, there has built up in the public sector a vast folklore about UFOs and close encounters, to which I have contributed with books like Communion, exploring my own experiences. However, I have never drawn any conclusions about those experiences, for the simple reason that there is no scientific basis, as yet, for such conclusions.

Maybe the alien abduction phenomenon is real. My own vivid personal experiences tell me that it is. But I do not have proof and, as yet, we don't even know what these objects flying around in our skies are.

What is lacking is not disclosure of things like official communications with alien beings. If my own experiences are in any way representative, such communications are hardly going to be helpful at this point, and they may even be misleading, perhaps quite seriously so.

The process of contact--and that is what is unfolding here, and has been for at least sixty years--is by far the most complex challenge that the human mind has ever faced. For this reason, as this unknown becomes an acknowledged public reality, we must start at the beginning, rather than jumping to conclusions about what is happening.

The beginning is this. First, our established scientific community must begin a public study the aerial aspects of the phenomenon by developing means of reliably detecting the presence of genuine unknowns, tracking their movements, and developing good statistics about their numbers, their patterns of movement, and the locations they visit. Second, the close encounter witness phenomenon must be addressed on two levels. First, witnesses, like me, who have verified unknown objects in their bodies, should be thoroughly profiled physically and psychologically. Their narratives should be tested for accuracy using the most reliable means we possess.

From this, a number of determinations can be made. First, is there something here more than folklore? Specifically, are there physical traces in these individuals that cannot be explained? If so, then how accurate are their narratives? (This can be determined using PET scanning techniques that can separate memories of physical experiences from imagined ones, an essential step when dealing with a phenomenon that impacts the mind on so many different levels, many of which are not clearly understood.)

So, if we proceed calmly and carefully, we can create a rational intersection between the folklore and the reality, insofar as we are able to discern what it may be.

What part is not credible?

The assertions about the other governments are factual stuff from the public record as attested to even by the MSM in recent months.

Denying all that would leave one quite on the side of those denying that . . . say OThuga was in the White House and the sun was up.

The rest of Whitley’s assertions in that doc are his own opinions.

So, are you denying that Whitley’s opinions are accurate? Get in line!

Or are you denying that what he said about the list of governments is accurate? If so, you are simiply wholesale wrong.

QUIX, I am a FIRM supporter of UFO’s and the FACT they exist. Reread my post......I was pulling your chain because we seem to have posters that would refuse to believe even if a UFO landed on top of their house.

:-)

Thought so.

However, given my general cluelessness about some sorts of jokes and satire . . . I’m easily fooled many times.

As I’ve said . . . until one lands in their laps and castrates them . . . they won’t believe.

And even then, they might claim there were merely Bobbitized. LOL.

Pretty interesting they responded so fast.

Keep in mind airspace violations are a normal part of life for the Greek Airforce. Turkey is routinely violating airspace for sport.

I wonder if this was a new US jet on manuvers.

My impression was that it may well have been a UFO.

. . . given flight characteristics etc.

but I don’t recall for sure.

My bet is that it was just one of the US military planes and they were just unfamiliar with its lines.

Weren’t some of the flight characteristics out of this world?

maybe I need to read the whole thing.

The MUFON link I posted below is also good for yet another Texas siting posted today. It was at Lake Brownwood last nite, only 45 miles away from Dublin if flying, which also occured at the same time of day my siting was.

Another one from Texas is described as "LARGE, GLOWING LIGHTS, SPHERE" and is obviously making light of UFO sitings.

THANKS THANKS.

Joe . . . interesting photo if you can oblige. I’m just tired and still feeling under the weather or I might actually try this one.

ABBREVIATED UFO PING LIST PING

Here’s some interesting stuff from the MUFON website:

Long Description of Sighting Report
I once lived in the upper western coastal area and I miss the views of the ocean, so I like to check out the webcam every now and then. I went to the webcam site and got quite a surprise! The web camera is at:

http://www.oregonlive.com/coastcam/

The image has already changed but the one for their time (1:00 p.m. today) is the one I’m sending you. Photo has not been altered.

The VERY FASCINATING pic is available here:
