Can I be the first to say it?

They clearly hit a cloked hovering spaceship. I have a couple guys on-line who claim to be professors of completley unrelated fields who say thats the only thing the shape of the dent could be. Also if you listen to the black box you can hear Bush and Cheny talking about where to put the charges to make it look like AL-Queda did it so we can go to war with Iran.

It was clearly a UFO that nicked the jet in the nose.

Truthseeker? Where are you?

It may have hit a ball of hail or a piece of ice that fell off another jet airliner?

Seriously, it could have been falling space junk?

I wouldn't doubt it was just a bad nose cone that collapsed punching through the air. Much like a beachball would do if it was placed upon the luggage rack of a vehicle.

Yeah that would do it from metal fatigue.

Meteorite? Space Junk? If they hit a UFO if would be like hitting a brick wall.

They were flying over the DR's headquarters and encoutered a huge gaseous ball of noxious emissions.

That was a huge dent!

It wasn't shaped like Wiley Coyote--so can't blame him.

Is there equipment in the nose of a plane?

I thought the thread pertained to Obama's airplane incident today.

Then I'd be inclined to offer that the God of Aviation had simply stepped on the nose of the aircraft in the process of pulling its tail off--and therefore the dent.

My bad.

Is there equipment in the nose of a plane?

Yes. A radar cone.

perhaps next time they'll use the HEAVY DUTY aluminum foil?

rather nicely centered for a 600mph event.

If it was indeed a strike by a foreign object, another 4 or so feet higher and the object would have compromised the front window of the cabin, killing the flight crew by instantly depressurizing the plane at 18,000 feet.

Nothing to chuckle about.

Spud only came here to see if BBob had evinced a theory yet on wot caused the plane's nose to get punched in like that.

Leaving, sadly disappointed on that front.

/Slow-witted Gremlins?

Be Well.

Radomes are made of plastic, metal would block the RF from the weather radar.

The weather radar antenna.

Musta been one of those toy rockets nobody believed would get that high.

OK, everybody stop teasing B_Bob, who thinks it was Bigfoot.

It turns out that William Shatner was on the plane.

.....you mean James T. Kirk...........

Methinks you missed the ref entirely.

I'm thinking he meant Twilight Zone.

No I got the reference...the guy on the wing with the wrench........ole' William was a neurotic mess during that plane flight early in his career. No more so than when he was entranced with the "prediction machine" in the small town restaurant though while his car was awaiting repairs. You don't want to challenge me on trivia........

While I often poke fun at BBob, I was poking fun at my own reference to Shatner as Kirk in a long ago post.........(had to have been there).

Tinfoil hats for all:

You guys got it all wrong...CLEARLY it happened because Clinton got a bj in the Oval Office.....

Then asgain...if you look an infrared image of it, turn it upside down, take a few magic mushrooms, and a snootfull of coke...it becomes the spittin' image of the Virgin Marie...Unlike the Virgin Mary-she's a slut that screws anybody that wants to.

"Virgin Marie"

Anybody seen Superman since this?

Just like the plastic bags in the supermarket - they just don't make nose cones like the used to.

I wish you guys hadn't reminded me of that Twilight Zone episode of that guy wrecking the wing while the plane was flying. It scared the crap out of me at the time and still does when I see a re-run. Maybe the same guy did this nose job.

I don't know why, but that one got me too, FWT.

FWTHOM: I could be wrong but I do believe it was a young William Shatner who was the only one in the plane that saw the creature on the wing in that episode.

You are correct. I actually have the original episode on a CD (not a DVD). As a kid, I had an entirely different recollection of that creature. Scary,evil and looking ike a gargoyle. Looking at it as an adult, it's hilarious. It's a man in a big plump suit, a hole cut out around his face. It looks more like a man in a giant egg than anything else.

True enough, Yav, but that episode is still a classic.

I'm having the worst luck today with my links.

I'll try again

I remember the night TADOWE taught us how to write our own links. One decent thing he did apart from his "LEFTIST/DEMOCRATIC" rants LOL

If these damn hot shot pilots would stop using airliners to chase birds, this wouldn't have happened.

We had a bird strike WAY back in the 1960s. On a bombing mission around Carson City, a flight of ducks appeared. the pilot tried to miss but did not. That damned duck went through the nose cone, the Communication and navigation pressurized package and into the cockpit of an A4D Skyhawk. It broke several leg bones of the pilot before severely damaging his face. He landed and we had to scrap the aircraft because of the damage. This happened at only 500 feet too.

Do not make jokes of these things. Whatever hit that plane could have been disastrous.

given the likelyhood of it being a bird, and the size of the dent.

...well it's half mast for the flags along Seasame Street today...

Big Bird will be missed.

That pilot was a brittle-boned pussy.
