Missile Attack On Passenger Jet?
Radio News | November 28, 2005

Posted on 11/28/2005 4:49:25 AM PST by texianyankee

I heard on the radio this morning, that a pilot of a passenger jet departing LAX claimed to have narrowly avoided being hit by a missile. It was reported that the jet was about 6,000 feet in altitude & over the ocean when the event occurred. The news report further stated that authorities believe it was possibly a flare or a "bottle rocket."

I googled but found nothing. Anyone else have some info on this? I dont recall whether it was CBS or NBC radio news.

"Just found the listing for the show tonight as report on a plot to down an airplane. "

If the Gomers do happen to down an airliner the government will of course crack down on the American people instead of closing the borders and deporting all the un-desirables that are here.

I should have used a capital letter on News. I meant a newscast that had also been heard by a caller.

I do not know where this is all going and am skeptical as most of us are. I do wonder why the information is so hard to obtain, however.

Check out post #496 too.

New theory

It may have been an actual missile .... fired from a US Naval vessel and aimed at a target on the China Lake Firing Range.

Tonight once again, I googled the story and finally found it listed on Philadelphia's KYW Newsradio. At first glance I couldn't find the story on their site so I pulled up the cached story and then found another one. They are both below.

Pilot Reports 'Missile' Fired at Jetliner Near LAXFBI agents and Homeland Security officials spent the weekend investigating the report of a possible missile fired at an American Airlines plane taking off from Los Angeles International Airport.

Sources tell ABC News the pilot of American Airlines Flight 621, en route to Chicago, radioed air traffic controllers after takeoff from LAX. He told them a missile had been fired at the aircraft and missed.

The plane was over water when the pilot said he saw a smoke trail pass by the cockpit.

FBI agents believe it was a flare or a bottle rocket, but say they may never know if that's what it actually was.

C2C regularly has different people on the show who make predictions based on premonitions......the person he was talking about had predicted some type of event on November 29th.

Thanks, Karl; that's pretty creepy...are these predictions posted somewhere, or are they just told to the radio host during a call-in?

NO. regarding your inquiry...not callers.

Guests are known people with reputations(LOL) in their various fields.

All sorts of people including UFO experts and spirit contacts(ghost busters)(LOL)...etc. are guests on the show over many years and previously and still on weekends with Art Bell as host.

Oh.

Thanks. I never listen to that program (I'm on the east coast, but I suppose it's available online....I can't get any radio stations here). Sounds interesting

Thanks for the bump-ping!

I have lots of red X's but think I got the written words.

Are they all virtually the same or did I miss something?

Maybe this proves they are not trying to "lose" the story.

Available after midnight on one of our talk radio stations.

Clear Channel I think.

Lasts 3 or 4 hours and begins with an hour of re-play I think...

While sometimes on the computer or just sewing I listen.

I like to drive long distance at night too and get it in many areas of the east coast at those hours. It follows Rusty Humphrey Show here.
