A screaming comes across the sky

Yes.

Nah. That's just one of them UFO things. Get 'em all the time.

The people who did see it yesterday were pretty freaked out by it.

It makes me wonder if we will spend every September 11 waiting for another terrible thing to happen.

On any other day I think people would have looked for a likely explaination instead of getting all jumpy.

So what IS it?

Looks like a jet on afterburners to me.

Ahhh...chemtrails
"chemtrails" (spoken in my best voice of Emily what's-her-name's from defunct Abuzz and Abidemiracles)

Do you mean Chiya?

Wasn't she the one always going on and on about contrails over Colorado?

Chaiyah ..that's it

Personally, I think you just flung a pink Mamba up in the air and took a snap.

Chaiyah was here, briefly. She left after starting a thread insisting that a new planet had been spotted which obviously was in an orbit between the earth and Venus, but had not previously been spotted. She held out valiantly as it was pointed out that the people at the observatory in California who maintained the camera in question had already stated that it was simply a reflection of the rising sun in the lens of the camera. The ridicule, however, was heaped on fast an furiously, and she withdrew, never to return.

I was chilled to the bone once, though, as i drove west on Queen Street in Toronto, and a car pulled out in front of me which had a vanity license plate which read: "CHAIYAH." Just too, too spooky . . .

Chaiyah was indeed a bit.... er..... different.

When you saw the Chaiyah tags was the driver wearing tin foil headgear?

Here's a video of the "event" yesterday: http://www.king5.com/localnews/stories/NW_091106WABskylightKC.8ea7852f.html

Yes, I participated in that discussion. I've never seen more imprecise science and meaningless claptrap..planet x. I'm a photographer and I tried patiently to explain to her about the effect that sunlight has on optics and lenses and how light hitting a lens and aperture blades...that this will create odd geometric shapes etc. She never let ANY logic get in the way of spawning off myriads of conspiracies. True paranoia and delusionality

FYI, having learned Hebrew as a child, that Chaiyah is a common Hebrew name and means "life" and, as the related word and formal toast, "l'chayim" means 'to life'.

I'd be the last one to suggest this...but isn't this site lacking that certain brand of Chaiyah's entertainment value?

She's also an a2k member. Posted for a month or two, and went away.

Chaiya once insisted there were TWO sunrises that she observed and there was a big coverup about them. Funny how no other living being spotted these two sunrises.

You know, Ragman, I too kind of miss the good natured oddballs that were on Abuzz.

The conspiracy theorists on A2K are so much more predictable than Chaiyah. Her wild tales were at least thought provoking in a daydreamy kind of way. Now everything is just so zealoty (? zealotful? zealotalicious?) that it just isn't fun.

Plus she was very sweet. Ya gotta love a nut case like that.

True that, Swimpy.

sweet ...and unintentionally funny when she defended.
<sigh> (Abuzz mourning sigh)
