Very very strange odd and weird.

In the first photo why does the sky look like that? Surely that's a view only spacecraft see or would the stars look that way at 34 000 feet? Any pilots out there that can confirm this???

Interesting stuff Henrietta!

I'm sure those aboard the craft experienced a whole gamut of emotions from fear to exhilaration.

Underwater volcano seems to be uppermost in the suspicions but who can say for sure. Be interesting to learn of the experts views...

[Henrietta]

Yes I'll be glued to the net over the next few days to see what the chatter is and to see whether this is fake or real. If it's real I'd love to know whether the pilots believed in U.F.O's prior to this sighting and whether it's changed their opinion.
Don't know how I'm going to sleep now but goodnight.

[agchristie]

Well, whatever they may have believed previously this experience will have intrigued them that's for sure!

They will no doubt be hoping to have the kudos of a newly created island named after them!

Underwater UFOs ...interesting, a possibility is phosphorescent organisms. I have come across plankton blooms in the North Sea that glowed brightly enough to read newspaper headlnes at night so in the middle of the Pacific ...who knows.

[agchristie]

...but what do you think is the likely explanation of what the pilot's saw Mikey?

[naomi24]

Do you have a problem with Henrietta posting, Mikey?

[mikey4444]

It could be any number of things, but I doubt it was little green men, with aerials sticking out of the heads, newly arrived from the Moon !

I think it is more likely to have been a volcano than the people of Atlantis reconnecting the electricity.

Perhaps we should have a new section here on AB for these kind of posts, rather than Religion and Spirituality. We could call it "Superstition and Science Fiction"

Henrietta will be claiming that the Tooth Fairy really exists next ! Rationality is a wonderful thing...she should try it.

//The European Cargo Airline senior first officer and his German colleague had been warned about possible volcanic activity along the route – part of the Pacific’s ‘Ring of Fire’ - //

No doubt the seismologists/volcanologists will come up with a report before long.

I'd love to have seen it.

[agchristie]

Mikey, nobody mentioned little green men....

Perfectly reasonably OP to me. I trust judging by your contempt you will have nothing further to add and leave those who wish to explore the post more thoroughly?

[naomi24]

Mikey, stop being so rude.

[agchristie]

I think we should know more in the near future Naomi as to the likely cause.

It is so easy to be sceptical about something, until like the pilots, you experience the unusual....

[mikey4444]

DB...LOL ! Not sure how subtle I can be with such errant nonsense. Somebody will start quoting Daniken or Icke sooner or later !

[naomi24]

agchristie, I think it will be explained.

divebuddy, Mikey’s contempt, however its expressed, means little. I trust Henrietta realises that and is not deterred from posting.
