A Drone? A Really Big Bird? A UFO? What Did Alitalia Pilot See Near JFK?
” The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a report from the pilot who claimed he saw an unmanned or remote-controlled aircraft while on his final approach to John F. Kennedy International Airport .
The pilot, who was at the controls of Alitalia Flight AZA 60, a Boeing 777, spotted what may have been a drone about four to five miles southeast of the airport at an altitude of 1,500 feet while on final approach to Runway 31 Right at about 1:15 p.m.”

This also means that despite the intended application (over Brooklyn, NY,of all places!), there also exists possibilities that eventually one of these drones will become involved in a collision with commercial passenger aviation and private civil aviation. Then, how will the government backtrack to cover their tails when loss of life becomes a reality do to these drones? For the Alitalia flight to be close enough to see the gizmo, then it is safe and prudent to conclude that the drone was in fact, too damned close to that passenger airliner. Already.., problems.
It’s only a matter of time . You know as well as I that the State is king of ” Unintended Consequences” .

You scooped the Associated Press and msn.com, apparently. There is now an Official investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration, two hours ago; They are behind the curve several hours.
Somebody (don’t ask me), brought up issues of passenger safety and possibilities of drone collision with airliners. They do not know the powers of the youviewed.com staff and readership.
You dog , you .
What..? Why is everybody smiling and looking at me..?
If there is any power at youviewed it resides in the readership
