HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 23 VOL 7
FEBRUARY 23RD 2008
WEATHER; COOL, LOW HUMIDITY, 26/54 DEGREES
GAS; UP, $3.04 TO $3.06 I GUESS WERE LUCKY, THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS $3.14 BUT I HAVE CONFIENCE IN THE OIL COMPANIES THEY’LL GET IT TO $3.50 BY SUMMER! I GUESS THEY BELIEVE HILLARY WHEN SHE SAYS SHE WILL WORK TO TAKE THE “WINDFALL” TAX CREDITS OLE’ GEORGIE BOY GAVE THEM IN 2003 AWAY AND USE THEM TO HELP FUND THE NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM SHE ADVOCATES!
NOT MUCH DOING TODAY, WATCHED TV AND DID SOME READING!
WE PICKED CHARLEEN LATINIS UP FOR 5:00 PM MASS THEN SHE TOOK US TO APPLEBEES FOR DINNER. GARY’S ON THE ROAD TILL NEXT WEEK! HE SAID THE PRICE OF DIESEL IS UP ALL OVER THE COUNTRY! HE AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE FUEL SITUATION AND HE DOESN’T SEE HOW THE OWNER OPERATORS WHO HAUL FOR SOME OF THE OTHER FREIGHT COMPANIES CAN MAKE IT UNLESS THE COMPANIES ARE SUBSIDISING THEM ON FUEL! THERE’S NO WAY A TRUCKER COULD HAUL FOR EVEN $2.00 A MILE WITHOUT HELP ON THE FUEL! GARY’S REAL CAREFUL HOW HE RUNS AND IF HE CAN’T MAKE TRUCK EXPENSES AND HIS WAGES HE DOESN’T TAKE THE LOAD! LIKE HE SAYS; THE PETE SETTING IN HIS SHOP IS ONLY COSTING HIM FOR INSURANCE!
WE HAVEN’T FILED INCOME TAX FOR A FEW YEARS BECAUSE WE DIDN’T MAKE ENOUGH TO DO IT! MOM JUST FOUND OUT WE HAVE TO FILE THIS YEAR IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE SUPLEMENTAL CHECK FROM THE GOVERNMENT THAT’S SUPPOSED TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY! JUST ANOTHER BOONDOGGLE BY OLE; GEORGIE BOY! IF HE REALLY WANTS TO GIVE THE ECONOMY A SHOT IN THE ARM THE MONEY HE BORROWED FROM CHINA TO GIVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WOULD BE BETTER SPENT REPAIRING OUR ROADS AND BRIDGES, THAT WOULD PUT PEOPLE TO WORK AND STIMULATE THE ECONOMY MORE THAN THIS FOOLISH IDEA OF HIS! THE PEOPLE WHO DO GO OUT AND SPEND IT TO HELP THE AMERICAN ECONOMY WILL BE HELPING THE CHINESE ECONOMY MORE BECAUSE WHAT THEY BUY WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE MADE IN CHINA!
MOM WAS TOLD THE MONEY WILL BE DIRECT DEPOSITED IN OUR ACCOUNT BEFORE WE RECEIVE THE LETTER FROM THE GOVERNMENT TELLING US WE’RE GOING TO GET IT!
I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU FOLKS FEEL ABOUT UFOs BUT, HERE IS AN EYE WITNESS ACCOUNT ABOUT ONE THAT WAS SEEN OVER THE OLD LOCKHEED AIR TERMINAL IN BURBANK CALIFORNIA BY ME AND 12 OTHERS AT THE SAME TIME;
WE WERE STANDING NEXT TO A C-47 AND B-25 ON THE PARKING RAMP FOR THE AIR NATIONAL GUARD FACILITY AT LOCKHEED!
ONE OF THE PERSONS THERE COVERED HIS EYES TO LOOK AT THE LOCATION OF THE SUN HE DIDN’T HAVE A HAT ON! HE POINTED TO THE EAST AND YELLED UFO! I AND EVERYBODY ELSE TURNED TO LOOK WHERE HE WAS POINTING AND THERE IT WAS IT WAS HUGE AND JUST HOVERED IN ONE PLACE! THE REFLECTION OF THE SUN MADE IT LOOK LIKE IT WAS SWAYING FROM SIDE TO SIDE! A CAPTAIN STANDING THERE JUMPED IN THE B-25 AND WAS GOING TO START THE ENGINES BUT THE CREW CHIEF TOLD HIM TO STOP, # 2 ENGINE WAS TORN UP INSIDE AND COULDN’T START!
ABOUT THAT TIME A LOUD SPEAKER BLARED OUT FOR ALL THE P-51 PILOTS TO MAN THEIR PLANES, WE HAD 5 THAT WERE AIR WORTHY AND THEY DID GET STARTED IN A MATTER OF A FEW MINUTES! THE AIR FORCE HAD TWO P-80s STANDING THERE THAT WERE BEING USED AS RECRUITING TOOLS, THE TWO PILOTS RAN OUT OF THE CONTROL SHACK AND CLIMBED IN AND STARTED THEIR ENGINES AND TAXIED OUT TO THE MAIN RUNWAY, THE P-51s HAD GOT STARTED AND WERE RIGHT BEHIND AND TO THE SIDE OF THE P-80s BECAUSE OF THE JET ENGINE BLAST! BY THIS TIME THERE MUST HAVE BEEN OVER TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE OUT ON THE TAXI WAY LOOKING AT THIS OBJECT IN THE SKY! LOCKHEED STILL HAD SOME OF THE CAMOFLAGE NETTING UP OVER PARTS OF THE PLANTAND IT LOOKED LIKE A FARMING COMMUNITYFROM THE AIR!
THE P-80s AND THE P-51s HEADED FOR THE UFO AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT HEADED OFF TO THE SOUTH VERY FAST WITH THEM IN PURSUIT!
I WENT INTO THE CONTROL SHACK AND WAS STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE CIRCLE COUNTER THAT WAS WHERE THE PILOTS GOT THEIR MAPS AND FILED THEIR FLIGHT PLANS! LOU WATT WAS SETTING AT THE RADIO AND I ASKED HIM WHAT WAS HAPPENING? HE JUST SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS AND HELD BOTH PLAMS UP INDICATING HE HAD NO INFORMATION!
AFTER ABOUT 45 MINUTES WE HEARD THE SOUND OF THE P-51s COMING BACK! ONLY 3 OF THEM RETURNED, I FIGURED THE OTHER TWO LANDED AT MARCH AFB OR SOMEWHERE ELSE! THE P-80s NEVER RETURNED AND THERE AGAIN I FIGURED THEY LANDED SOMEWHERE ELSE!
THE AIR POLICE STARTED ROUNDING PEOPLE UP THAT WERE STANDING THERE AND USHERING THEM GENTLY INTO THE CHOWHALL AND TOLD THEM TO BE SEATED! I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE!
WE WERE DEBRIEFED AND THREATENED WITH LAWSUITS AND JAIL IF WE SPOKE TO ANYONE ABOUT THIS INCIDENT UNTIL THE AIR FORCE AND THE AIR NATIONAL GUARD FINISHED THEIR INVESTIGATION!
I HEARD THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE THAT THE TWO P-51s HAD BEEN DESTROYED AND THE TWO P-80s HAD ALSO BEEN DESTROYED! ONE SOURCE SAID THE P-80s WERE BLOWN OUT OF THE SKY AND THE P-51s HAD CRASHED FOR SOME REASON! NONE OF THE PILOTS SURVIVED AND AS FAR AS I KNOW NO WRECKAGE WAS EVER FOUND!
YOU CAN DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS BUT I KNOW WHAT I SAW AND IT WASN’T A WEATHER BALOON OR REFLECTION OFF A CLOUD BECAUSE THERE WASN’T A CLOUD IN THE SKY AT THAT TIME JUST CLEAR BLUE!
I REALLY HESITATED TO TELL OF THIS EXPERIENCE BECAUSE OF THE WAY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN OR EXPERIENCED THINGS LIKE THIS REACT TO THEM!
I’M NOT ALONE IN THIS UFO SIGHTING THING! REALLY CREDITABLE PERSONS HAVE SEEN THEM AND SOME ARE RELUCTANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
