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)

Great Sand Dunes National Monument.  Mosca, Colorado. "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." ...

I do think Stoli was probably involved here.

Mulder and Scully are on their way. Hang tight, Ruskies.
