Military clears up Beltway UFO mystery

nothing to say..lol

Beltway traffic in Washington, D.C., is bad enough without adding extraterrestrial vehicles into the mix.




On Wednesday night, Facebook and Twitter users went wild over sightings of a saucer-shaped vessel being towed on local highways. The buzz called to mind the frenzy in 1947 Roswell, albeit in a much more modern way.

Drivers spotted the craft on I-270 and on the Beltway as it was pulled behind a tractor trailer.

But we can take the "unidentified" out of "unidentified flying object." (And yes, we realize that it wasn't actually flying, either.) The military has confirmed to NBC News affiliate News4 that the 82-foot-long craft is an unmanned military aircraft, known as an X-47B.

Maryland State Police towed it on a flatbed trailer from Garrett County, Md., to Naval Air Station Patuxent River.

The drone had come all the way from California -- and yes, it "always attracts attention," a military spokesperson told NBC4's Melissa Mollet.

The craft is the second of its kind to come to the area. An X-47B arrived in late 2011 -- although if they towed that one on the Beltway, no one must have noticed.

Poll: Americans OK with some domestic drones

"In the coming months, you can expect to see the X-47B flying over the base and surrounding area along the Chesapeake Bay," said Matt Funk, lead test engineer.

According to a military press release:

The X-47B is the first unmanned vehicle designed to take off and land on an aircraft carrier. As part of the program's demonstration, the X-47B will perform arrested landings and catapult launches at Pax to validate its ability to conduct precision approaches to the carrier. The base is one of only a few sites in the world where the Navy can run performance tests on aircraft-carrier catapult operations at a land-based facility with flight test and engineering support resources not available on a ship.

Although Maryland State Police helped orchestrate the the drone's Wednesday night commute, even they didn't know what it was at the time, police told News4.

"Don't worry, that's not an alien spacecraft, just a flying military robot. [That was a] totally normal sentence in 2012. I love the future," Ben Jacobs tweeted.

BELTWAY UFO
By Frank Lake on June 14, 2012


   
People in the D.C. are hiding in their apartments and homes – frightened by the  Beltway UFO!
A  UFO was confirmed to be hovering over the Capitol Beltway and Washington D.C. over the last few days.  There were over two thousand reports of the UFO reported within hours.  And the UFO has returned each night for the last seven nights.



Maryland State Police and DC Police  confirmed that citizens are running for cover – fearing that the spaceships are going to land and attack them.

"Beltway traffic is bad enough without adding extraterrestrial vehicles into the mix," said a Maryland officer.

Drivers spotted the craft on I-270,  the Beltway, over the White House, the Capitol and the Mall.  "I think the ships are going to land on the Mall.  I'll bet my life that it's going to happen.  That's what they want to do," said Jonathan Willard, a DC resident.



WWN contacted Dr. Susan Begley of the U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials about the UFO.  "It's definitely a Zeeban ship.  DC citizens have nothing to worry about."

The U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials have identified two alien species that have landed on Earth in the last years.  The aliens from Planet Zeeba have come to Earth to help us with climate change and to make us a more peaceful race of beings.  The aliens from Planet Gootan have come here – to destroy us.



Dr. Begley examined the photos and is "hundred percent positive" that the ships over DC are Zeeban.  "We are predicting that the Zeebans will make contact with humans by 2015, so this may just be a test for them.  The Washington Mall would be a good place for them to land and begin negotiations with humans."
