My co-worker is an ex military cop. He told me about his UFO incident. I thought he was coming clean because I’ve known him years and he never mentioned it. Seems he was at a secure facility one night and a “flying saucer” flew over head. He got a good look at it as it hovered over the facility he was guarding then took off at high speeds.
He says the base lit up with alarms and cops running all over the place. He says the UFO was just a model aircraft that some one had covered with tin foil to look like a saucer. He had me going for a while.
To really understand how full of crap your friend is, go spend some time with folks who fly model planes and model helicopters. By all means, they can mimic UFOs in startlingly convincing ways, but not the way your friend says. If you cover an RC model with tinfoil, it will be too heavy to fly.
I'd say your co-worker STILL has you going.
