UFO Shuts Down Russian Airport
MOSCOW, Jan 27, 2001 -- (Agence France Presse) An airport in southern
Siberia was shut down for an hour and a half on Friday when an unidentified
flying object (UFO) was detected hovering above its runway, the Interfax news
agency reported.
The crew of an Il-76 cargo aircraft refused to take off, claiming they saw a
luminescent object hovering above the runway of the Siberia's Barnaul airport,
local aviation company director Ivan Komarov was quoted as saying.
The crew of another cargo plane, refusing to use the runway for the same
reason, landed their jet at another airport, Komarov said.
The UFO took off and vanished from the airport 90 minutes later, according to
the report. ((c) 2001 Agence France Presse)

"Must have been the ‘Stoli’ blimp, looking for a beach party"
I do think Stoli was probably involved here.
Mulder and Scully are on their way. Hang tight, Ruskies.

"What if we had a society with resources so limited that you couldn't
get enough to feed your family no matter how
hard you worked unless you stole. People in that society wouldn't
think property laws and courts were useful
either. It is only in a middle-class society where folks believe that
reasonably hard work will yield a reasonable
standard of living that justice is considered good. If the TV networks
find a black guy in the ghetto who believes,
whether or not it is true, that there is no honest way for him to get
ahead in this world, there is no reason to
suppose that he'd buy into our middle-class concept of justice.
Admittedly O.J.'s crime was a crime of passion, not
of property, but once you get the ideas that courts and laws aren't
serving your community, you probably don't
think they are useful for anything."
