(Groton-WTNH, June 20, 2002 Updated 7:02 PM ) _ A report of something falling from a plane into a reservoir sent state police and the FBI into action Thursday afternoon.

State Trooper Roger Beaupre tells News Channel 8 a person called the state police barracks in Montville and reported seeing something either falling or being thrown from a plane into the Groton Reservoir around 2:45 p.m.

A team from the FBI, as well as state and local police and the Department of Environmental Protection is on the scene.

News Channel 8 staff member Bryan Lee says the police helicopter Trooper 1 is making repeated passes over the water, but does not appear to be searching any one particular area. Lee says it appears a police dive team is in the water.

Authorities have set up a command post near Exit 88 off of I-95.

There have been similar scares involving the water supply around the country in the wake of the attacks of September 11th.

Last month in Easton, police were called out to a reservoir when someone reported three men on top of a water supply tank. It turned out the men, who were from Bangladesh, were taking pictures.

Yes, I'm sure the Easton reservoir is a world-famous tourist attraction.

Boy, do they have us jumping. This is so sad. Even if these terrorist do nothing else, they have succeeded in making us respond to any and all things.

This one brings a smile from a simpler time, only a few years ago.

I owned an airplane, and me and some friends had this pumpkin sitting around the airport after halloween. So, of course, we decided that we just had to drop it somewhere. Reading the FARs, we decided that as long as we took care not to damage anything or anybody, it was just fine.

So we took a couple of airplanes over a nearby lake. A deep blue 200 acre lake. And dropped it from 7-8 thousand feet from one airplane, while the other watched down low. That pumpkin disintegrated into a thousand pieces, and floated on the water. Thousands of bits of bright orange pumpkin, standing out on the deep blue water.

We didn't hurt anything, but I'm sure people would freak out today. Too bad. We've lost a bit of innocence.

What if one of those endangered sucker fish was in the water right where your pumpkin hit!

Naw, they were Sikhs from Bangladesh.

However, the cameras were HP digitals, made in Malaysia in a factory owned by two Catholics from Belgium.

The guys wore Levi's made by the NWO/UN hugging Levi Strauss family in San Francisco. That company probably has H. R. department staffed with some south bay lesbians implementing the corporate policy of fringe benefits for same sex significant others.

Worse yet, the steel towers were Union Made. The union contributed to Al Gore.

All because of 'mezzican immigration to Southern California, which as we all know is the hotbed of disgusting CD music from the one-world Time/AOL decadency.

Pray for America.

Good Shot!!

[CindyDawg]

Well, I guess you could say the little sucker wouldn't be endangered any more. lol

[small voice in the wilderness]

Oh yeah, just last week on the Travel Channel they were spotlighting the Easton Reservoir as a Top Ten water supply tank to be visited. Innocent vacationers taking innocent pictures my fat a**.

[SierraWasp]

Where is this taking place?

I'd have to go back and.... DO IT AGAIN!

Muslims from Bangladesh?

I think Bangladesh used to be known as East Bengal and was the eastern province of Pakistan until 1971.

The latest scare is in SE Conn. on the Rhode Island boarder.

,,, time to fence off all the reservoirs and we can see all the views via webcams.

meanwhile, one scuba diver is thinking "(bubble) (bubble) Boy when I get home I'd sure like a slice of pumpkin pie (bubble) (bubble) heck, who am I kidding, the only way I'd get one in time for dinner was if it dropped out of the sky (bubble) (bubble) what the heck is THAT? (bubble) (bubble) CRASH!!!"

hehe ... sorry, couldn't resist, plus it gave me another excuse to test the wrap feature back on now ...

[cynicom]

Last time I was in Bangladesh, I climbed a water tower to take pictures.

[CindyDawg]

With everything going on they probably just got around to investigating today. Someone saw you. You've been busted. lol

They don't have reservoirs in Bangladesh?

IMO, these stooges are close enough to a suspect muslim nation to warrant interrogation, with liberal use of pliars and battery cables.
