Seen any UFO's recently?

Not often you hear about UFO sightings in Bethesda, MD, but there was one last August, right over Walter Johnson H.S. To think I missed it, maybe next time.

According to a blog post on United States UFO:
I exited the beltway onto Old Georgetown Rd. and turned right on Rock Spring Dr. which leads into the Office Park. It was shortly before 6 pm in August so still light out. On the left side is a High School (I'm not sure of the name - maybe Thomas Johnson H.S.?) Anyway; suspended above the school was an airplane just "hanging" in the air!
This isn't the first UFO the person who reported it has seen. I've never seen one so either I am less observant or my UFO repellent is working.

That's one way to get a first-class upgrade

A woman on a flight from Delhi to London died en-route so they moved her body and her family up to the first class cabin. I guess you have to do something with corpses. I found it suprising that British Airways says that about 10 people die on its flights each year. You don't really expect to happen, but it does. And often enough that they have a policy about it, They can't be put in the galley or blocking aisles or exits and there must be clear space around them. [March 19, 2007]
