Paranormal Events at Eastern Airlines

The Tuscon Citizen released an interesting article on strange events in connection to the once bustling Eastern Airlines which closed back in 1991. Pilots, crew members, passengers, even shareholders have seen apparitions, ghosts and unexplained phenomena in conjunction to this airline. Established in 1926, the thriving Pitcairn Aviation won a government contract to deliver mail between New York and Atlanta. In 1938, the airline was purchased by a well known World War I dog fighting ace named Captain Eddie Rickenbacker with the help of a major financial backer; third generation Laurance Rockefeller.

Numerous reported events witnessed by highly credible people have no rhyme or reason to what they saw. From fireballs flying through the plane during a routine flight of EA 539, ghostly sightings of downed plane flight 401 when salvaged parts were used again for current planes in service and UFO sightings during flights.

“I was seated near the front of the passenger cabin of an all-metal airliner (Eastern Airlines Flight EA 539) on a late night flight from New York to Washington. The aircraft encountered an electrical storm during which it was enveloped in a sudden bright and loud electrical discharge (0005 h EST). Some seconds after this, a glowing sphere a little more than 20 centimeters in diameter emerged from the pilot’s cabin and passed down the aisle of the aircraft approximately 50 centimeters from me, maintaining the same height and course for the whole distance over which it could be observed.” – Physicist Richard Jennison, published in Nature, 1971

In 1993, Laurence Rockefeller and his niece Anne Bartley created the UFO Disclosure Initiative in which they submitted it to the Clinton White House calling for all UFO classified files and information from the CIA to the Air Force be declassified, including the famous Roswell UFO Incident. In 1994, the Clinton White House declassified files from the National Archives without any reference to UFO phenomena. The Air Force still denied that there was any UFO relation to the Roswell incident.

Below is an interview with Paul Davies; Arizona State University professor, cosmologist, astrobiologist and author of the book Are We Alone?: Philosophical Implications Of The Discovery Of Extraterrestrial Life. Davies is questioned about the meeting between Laurance Rockefeller and Hillary Clinton in which Rockefeller gives Clinton a copy of Paul Davies' book emphasizing Rockefeller's interest in UFOs.
