Sorry about the click baity title..
Just thought I’d share this cool story with all you .
I work inside a major municipal airport and always make a point to question pilots and first officers if they’ve ever seen any strange lights up in the sky.
I’ve been doing this for a couple years and most the time the pilots give very dull and generic answers. The typical response is “just other airplanes”, but today I hit a Yahtzee.
I got talking to a pilot today who said “he’s seen some crazy shit up there”. About a year or 2 ago he was on final approach to LAX when a green beam of light shot down directly in front of and engulfed the airport, a beam he said that was roughly the size of the entire airport. He said all of LAX airport lost power and everything stopped- traffic, flights, baggage, etc. He received orders to perform a “go around” and raised his altitude until they got a clear for landing. I forgot how long he said the power was down for maybe 30mins to an hour before fully regaining. I found some videos from around this time and there’s one describing a suspicious package found that shut it all down as well as a power outrage- not sure which one it was but was interesting as all hell to hear about his account of what happened.
He also had encountered 6 orbs over New Mexico that danced around and toyed with his plane a bit before disappearing. He had to get going but I would’ve dropped all my duties just to keep talking to the guy.
