same problem here. it was in my favorites, and then it disappeared....and then while trying to investigate the problem, i hit the all button, which evidently has the same effect as the delete all button. for future reference, dont touch that button folks.
but yeah, any reason why i would lose this thread from my subscriptions and another member would not be able to add it to his?
edit: still cant add it.

Thanks Danx. Much appreciated.
I was also wondering - if the FAA doesn't 'do' investigations - then who would/could be the 'investigating authority' on this case (or one similar) ?

It's FAA's job to inform and explain this situations.
Wrong. They're a regulatory agency. Their tasked with making sure the airlines follow the rules.
Next thing you know we'll be blaming the E-coli spinach fiasco on the FDA.

Would you prefer that we ignore these sorts of stories or try to downplay them?
If people don't know about them, how could there be interest in them?
In my opinion, better too much attention than not enough.
(As for the Favorites issue, I imagine the Overlord would know something about it. Of course, it may be a conspiracy.)

Whether atmospheric phenomenon, mass airline worker hallucinations or Unidentified Flying Object, ignoring something like this would seem contrary to the mission of the FAA.
They've hardly ignored it.

You'd see that the FAA is not an investigatory agency like the GAO.

There are strict guidelines they must adhere to. For example it's not the FAA that investigate plane crashes but the NTSB.
To assume that the FAA would initiate some sort of investigation into an incident that has little verifiable information and had little affect on the normal flow of aircraft.........ahhhhhhh
No one cares outside of the usual UFO research community, and of course, the witnesses themselves.

Yesterday I heard that someone did take a picture with their phone and I'm going to try to find him today and get his picture for you.

I'm wondering why the FAA would seem to casually dismiss what could very well be a threat to airport and passenger safety with an explanation that seems to be in contradiction to the well-publicized reports of numerous witnesses -- including people we trust with our safety as passengers.
What's wrong with that?
If you could provide some answers that would resolve these questions, I would be grateful.

Let's go with that. If they're not an investigative agency, then why is it okay for them to dismiss this incident without an investigation?
The FAA has said it won't be investigating the incident further, and it wasn't until this week that The Chicago Tribune broke the story, speaking to several unnamed witnesses after a tip-off from the head of the National UFO Reporting Center.

This notion of electrogravitic lift supposedly worked on the principle that a plate-like object charged positively on one side and negatively on the other would always exhibit thrust toward the positive pole, i.e. from negative to positive. If the plate is mounted horizontally and the positive pole is uppermost, the object will in effect lose weight, because it will want to rise skyward. (pg. 20)
