Conspiracy Clouds Over Los Angeles

Yeah, so I continued reading through the comments of the story @ New York Daily News.  It is such a shame that after such an eventful day in the UFO world, that L.A. is covered by a marine layer gone wild. In some parts of the city, the sky was nice most of the day, until early evening when clouds just blanketed the city.  Shame, I was ready to crack this Bohemian and have a skywatching night. Instead I came to the computer after sitting in traffic between clients working on this here headache.  It wasn't until I was walking my dog when I got the NYDN report via my phone.  I thought the story had died 10 hours prior but it was still being debated in the comment thread.  In my last post I added a few interesting ones, but decided to add a couple more selections from people who claim were there or otherwise have snarky remarks that make me chuckle.  Here ya are...

I was there and saw these UFOs along with hundreds of others. They were bigger and more impressive then they appear in video below and they hovered in place for 1-2 hours both in groups and later singly. NORAD came by after about an hour to investigate so I guess they were concerned. Our local police pct. (The 10th Pct.) had somehow not been notified till one uniformed cop who was by chance taking a walk on 8th Ave. called it in. I initially called it to his attention when I went over and asked him what he had heard as far as reports. He thought I was pulling his leg till I pointed to the sky. He was blown away. He began to make calls like crazy. This was absolutely NOT weather balloons! However that is what I expect to hear as the "official" explanation put about by tonight or tomorrow. No way. What is funny is how many people walked by who saw the crowds staring at the sky and pointing yet they didn't even bother to look up. They just walked on by. Typical blase New Yorkers.

BAALAT, you're nuts, these paragliders have been visible in the sky from Manhattan on many occasions, I first saw them about 6 years ago from Kips Bay and I've seen them a few times since. A NYPD cop was freaked out by them? Well he was obviously no more intelligent than the hundreds of other saps who stood transfixed by these paragliders. I really don't understand why all the fuss since they've been seen many times before, I remember standing in Kips Bay watching them with a guy who was walking his dog. It was pretty obvious what they were if you had good eyesight and weren't determined to think they were aliens.

[Paragliders seems to be the only argument aside from the balloons... editor]

Sorry folks, but I have it on good authority that these 'UFOs" are nothing more than a test of Mike Bloombergs new anti terrorism security plan for NYC.

C'mon, this one is too EZ. It was the mothership returning to pick up Nancy, Harry, Barney, and Barack Hussein.

Funny, there was a mass release of bunches of yellow helium party balloons on broadway earlier today as part of some promo event. There's even photos of it on twitter. WONDER IF THERE'S A CONNECTION!!?!??? Picture link here: http://i.imgur.com/7DE8T.jpg I am seriously laughing at the people here who SWEAR THEY HAVE SEEN THE EXACT SAME THING AND IT SHOT LASER GAS BEAMS AND MY DOG BARKED AT IT AND CHINA AND NEW YORK MASS SIGHTINGS AND OMG THE ALIENS ARE COMING. They're balloons. Yellow party balloons. I think we've all learned a valuable lesson about gullibility and compulsive liars today!
