How do you suppose a Lybian fighter was able to fly not only across the Atlantic but clean across the USA?

He couldnt cross the atlantic far less reach the west coast. Maybe it was powered by HAARP? :p

I walked outside and looked up...

maybe it is related to this...


Speaking from the White House, Obama said the United States and the world continue “to be outraged by the appalling violence against the Libyan people.”

Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates has ordered U.S. Africa Command to take the lead for defense planning regarding the situation in Libya, according to a Pentagon statement. The DOD will continue to work in close coordination with the State Department and other agencies as needed...

Sorry, What im trying to ask is what made you think the aircraft was from Libya?

it looked like a Mirage and with 2 planes defecting to Malta I thought it might be one of them being flown in by one of their pilots...

The Mirage has a range of 960 miles with extra fuel tanks, it couldnt cross the Atlantic far less reach the west coast.

Well of course the PTB/W need their false flag attack so they can utilize the resources already moved to the area so here is "the story":

Libya has one of the active portals and decided to launch a surprise attack on L.A. :plane:

Of course they must build momentum into the BIGGIE so they are using some CRAFT from some of those really bad nasty aliens flying support. :alien:

Expect to see all the details in tomorrow's tabloids.

Technically that wouldn't matter if they had a US escort.

But indeed.

Probably a process called In Flight refuelling.
But, why here?... there is about 1000s US base between Libya and the US
And mirage or any other warplane, i'm sure they can build them up as they need them... LOL

I watched the escorts scramble out to meet the incoming jet...

You may have been watching an exercise with OPFOR units with US Air Force.

That article is about the army units, but there are air force ones too, like you would have seen in Top Gun.

they flew in too tight, it wasn't a friendly escort...

this was a one move and you are vapor kind of escort...

Can I make the point, that not all military aircraft have midair refuel capability?

But most have landing on a carrier capability.

Maybe western ones, but not most.
In fact, outside naval forces, very few would.

Indeed. More details would be needed.

Anyways, something tells me it was not an attack of any sorts, if that was what the op was implying.
