Just to re-state, that first pic was a fake. It was proved to be made up.

But it wasnt made by the pilot, and had nothing to do with the pilot's story. It was just some idiot trying to be funny.

So yes the photo was a hoax, but the story is still unexplained!!

Indeed.. and a very interesting account he gave too... and backed up by another pilot witness!... I really hope someone DID take a picture. I would LOVE for real proof of alien visitors to come to light... I just don't want to have to trawl through hundreds of fakes to find it!

Our Royal Dutch airline KLM is starting this year with a test to use cell phones on board as well as other airline companies will. So I don't think it will be that big of a problem with interfering. The problem will be more that it will be very irritating to other people. That is why they test it, to see how other people react.

Who calls from the plane will be transferred to a special station which KLM will install on board of the plane. This station will use a satellite connection to redirect the call to the ground.

But I think the costs will be extremely high like as in hotels or with normal phones on planes. They will probable keep it high so that not everyone will use it.

I read somewhere that they did a survey with 4000+ business man and 6 out of 10 would not would not want such technology introduced.

Any pilots out there? Do they REALLY affect the plane's controls that much when they are on?

It's kinda like shutting your car off, not smoking, and not talking on your cell phone when pumping gas. I think there maybe a chance for interference, but a relatively small one.

I've pulled the triple threat a number of times. Alas, I'm here to tell the tale.

I'm pretty sure the passenger did not break any mobile phone rules. On my phone, anyway, you can use the camera WITHOUT "turning on the phone," i.e.: turning on the antenna, which is really the part they are worried about in terms of transmitting spurious signals. There are not rules that you can't use a typical digital camera. In this context, that's what the passenger used.

Interesting comment.
It's really difficult to say whether it was a cloud or not because the white shape seems to be slightly above the cloud formation.
