It is a tabloid site. Denying it doesn't change that.

The STORY is not " tabloid ", by any stretch.
I initially had ( tried ) posted a link from nbc. The point is that it's a curios & possibly troubling story.

Acording to this article it was a software mess up. When the U2 was detected the computers started to process it as if it was flying much lower, causing havic because it made it look like it would cross other planes paths.
Before people giver Rappy shit you all should at least do a quick search and see if the story is real or not. Yes, Daily Mail is a tabloid, but the story is real one.
I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.

Yeah, but his implication is standard fare rappy bullshit. So why even go down that rabbit hole?

Yeah, reporting facts are 'bullshit' in your 'verse, it seems.
What exactly were my " implications ", per this story?
Please, start a list.
Oh, btw...there's THIS ( again, not me )

The U.S. Air Force has denied reports that one of their U2 aircraft caused a severe problem with electronics at LAX airport at Los Angeles.
There was a U2 "Drag Lady" aircraft in flight in the area at the time of the glitch, the military stated. Still, they deny popular reports the spy craft was on a "secret mission" or that it was responsible for the incident.
"[W]e can confirm the U-2 did not cause the air traffic control system to fail," Air Force officials told the press. A spokesman at the Air Combat Command said the flight was a training mission, with a flight plan filed with the FAA.
The Federal Aviation Administration would not comment on the U2 aircraft, but stated a coding issue with a flight plan was responsible for the electronic problem.

Something knocked out the airport computers. Either it was a 50 year old spy plane, or it wasn't.
Hmm...
" Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus..."
I quote MIB not to suggest any alien or super-natural cause of this event, but to point out how quickly some will buy the most absurd and inane " official " explanation, and then go ambling along in life, fully content at what they've been fed. Err.. told.
Yep. The U2 plane was flying too high, you see, and that set the computers wonky.
Good grief.
