foo fighters revisited
« on: December 02, 2009, 08:50:07 PM »
I have been flying AH for a number of years,but last night I seen something I never have seen before.I was about 3-4 K behind a fellow countryman,when I spotted a mark which appeared to be about co-alt and a couple of K infront of my buddy.I asked him if he had a tally on the said mark,and he exclaimed...what mark!I said he's right in front of you,and he said nadda!I watched as the mark suddenly made a few position changes,and it then made a very high speed move towards the deck,and it disappeared.Then the process started all over again,and I asked the other pilot if he he was seeing what I did.He was really adament about me seeing things that weren't there,and he flew off in another direction.I had only drank one beer,and I hadn't taken my nightly meds,so that answers the questions that I'm sure a few off you might want to ask me.I did run a search on foo fighters on the forums,and apparently others have encountered what I seen.I hope the flight surgeon doesn't ground me,but I know what I seen. :noid

happens a lot on Lagtastic Tuesdays, I've seen cons in the distance splitting apart then one of the dots disappearing only for it to happen a few seconds later again and again.

I tested it once with some other pilots long time ago on a crowded TTuesday. It seemed to be clipboard maps that's been opened and closed by another pilot. I have to admit that I haven't seen this phenomenon for quite a while.

Happened today while TT was still up before the launched the new update and changed the maps over. I was chasing a bomber formation that was about 5k in front of me and there was another mark that looked exactly like a long range bomber con to my left rear but nothing on the radar (was in friendly base radar range). That con split into three different directions and vanished. I gotta love a company that puts in aliens just to mess with us.

Clearly you saw an alien craft, and the government establishment commies are trying to cover it up with their predictable claims of Titanic Tuesday...
