AIRPLANE SEEN FLYING IN THE SKY! By: Willie Webb
Just yesterday, April 14th, 2011, an airplane was spotted by a Minneapolis resident in the early afternoon. Alexa Silver, the viewer, is still in shock of what she saw. "It was unbeliveable, one of the most amazing things I have ever witnessed" Silver stated as soon as reporters were able to contact her. Most people have heard about these so called "flying airplanes" but few have witnessed the event. This will be a moment that Alexa will remember for the rest of her life. Some believe that there is no such thing as "flying airplanes" but hopefully more will be convinced after reading this article. The last recorded sighting was in 1985 in a small town in Iowa. Not even born yet in '85, Silver herself admitted to doubting the truth in that story. However, now she says "I will never doubt something just because I haven't seen it for myself". Silver believes that she saw a 747 airplane, one of the rarest sights to see. For those of you who don't know what that is, a 747 is supposedly a gigantic, two level airplane. It is thought to be the best airplane available, though no one is sure. Silver does admit to not being one hundred percent sure that this is the type of plane she saw. "Since it was the first plane I've seen in my entire life, which I am priviledged to be able to say, I didn't get a good enough look at the body to see exact details". She goes on to say that the airplane moved much faster than she would have thought it to. She was also surprised to see that a trail of smoke followed the end of the airplane. This is the first sighting of an airplane to have smoke trailing it, which airplane research specialists are quite excited to hear about. With this new piece of evidence that airplanes can make a smoke trail, specialists will put in the research to try and prove the new information. Silver, who you should be proud to say you share a city with her, will be sharing her story of this incredible experience for the next two Monday's. The set location for this event is at the Barnes and Noble at the Mall of America. My hope is that all the readers of this article will perhaps change their belief on the "flying airplane" and have the heart to open their minds. Remember, seeing isn't always believing Minneapolis.
