There is something to the story but anyone in a post 9/11 World who upon seeing F-16 fighters chasing something over Northern Virginia who has a first reaction of "I think those jets are chasing a UFO." is an idiot.

We've got many aircraft in our arsenal that can pull away from a F-16 however...I doubt F-16's would be chasing one of them.

Odd story....but until a small green man walks up to my front door and rings the doorbell...my first reaction to anything isnt going to be "It must be a UFO".

Hey, genius....apparently you are unaware that UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object. There is nothing the least bit extra-terrestrial in the term. As of right now, this is, without argument, a UFO. Don't call people names and flaunt your ignorance in the same breath.

That UFO thing don't mean it is little purple guys. It just means we don't know what it is.

So Al Qaeda is hijacking our military's fighters now? Seriously, ask yourself what country is suicidal enough to fly fighters that close to the seat of our government and what terrorist group could pull of something like that.
