NEAL IS OFF TODAY

Sorry folks, Neal is off today. But don't worry, we've got Herman Cain in to talk about the latest from the campaign trail, Prince Harry, or whatever you like. Neal will be back Monday.

DID WE TALK ABOUT ALEX JONES AGAIN

We must have brought up Alex Jones, because the following landed in the ol' email box. We don't know why, but the UFO folks don't seem to be far behind the 9/11 conspiracy people.

Subject: Neal, don't ever doubt!
Name: Jonathon

Message:
Of the hundreds of thousands (maybe millions?) of eyewitness UFO reports, we are all left with one remark: "That's a compelling story, but are you telling the TRUTH?"

First of all, I'm a Libertarian, so obviously I have my head on straight - and so does my sister. I've listened to you since I was 9 - I'm 22 now. I'm a "natural" libertarian - not a "convert" or anything of the sort. I have no reason to lie to you.

Last night (02/27) she witnessed a triangular aircraft that hovered above her neighborhood for 2 hours. I was on the phone with her during the event. She first spotted it near the small airport in Greenville, GA. It caught her eye because it was stationary. There was one light on each "wing" or extremity... then the lights went from vertical to horizontal - she believe an airplane was crashing. But then it jetted across the sky and she called my father, reporting to him half-heartedly that she had just seen a UFO.

Then it became much more alarming when she turned onto her road - the aircraft was about 80 ft (two tree heights?) above her car and followed her home. Needless to say, she was very frightened. I had just arrived hom (after seeing a *brilliant* shooting star!) and she as hysterically reporting to my mother what she was seeing. I remained on the phone with her for the next 45 minutes or so.

My most abounding remark was: "Can you still see it?" and she kept a constant report. I could hear my niece saying also, "I see it! I see it!" as well as my brother in law.

The craft maintained (I can only guess) about a 20-story altitude. It would dash very quickly in one direction and stop, and hover. (Boy I wish I were there!) The moment she got a good look at it, she gasped and said, "It's a triangle! It's a freakin' triangle!!" It glowed red, and jettisoned a fiery material (which scared her pants off).

After about 45 minutes, she said she could hear a helicopter - but saw two... then three, then four!!! Finally, there were five military helicopters (FIVE helicopters!!) persuing the object, at which point it launched itself into the upper atmosphere (or outerspace??)

So, the only question that remains for ME, is who was piloting it and from where? I doubt it was alien aircraft (but then why military helis?), but I'm certain it was unmanned - not living entity could withstand the inertia she was describing.

Please believe me, Neal! I'm a life-long objectivist and I despise mysticism. What my sister saw scared the living hell out of her - imagine my excitement hearing over the phone, "OK, now it's flashing lights - 1, 2, 3, 4! in a rhythm. Now it stopped! It freakin' stopped and it's just hovering over my neighbor's house across the street!"

FIVE HELICOPTERS!!

WOW!

So, as a fellow libertarian - as one of the FEW in the world, let this be your confirmation. The phenomena exists - but one answer opens many more questions!

Thanks,

Jonathon

So what do you think? Does this sort of thing just come from an overactive imagination or is there more to it?
