Wierd how they are keeping it quiet..

I saw the 'quick' door interview of one pilot.. 'Nope.. no arguments. nothing was wrong.. sorry... '

A bit wierd..


Maybe it was a huge UFO!!!!!!!! "help, we're trapped in the belly hanger of a gigantic.. erm.. Stardestroyer.. yeah.. and.. and.. this guy in a black helmet says.. you need to stay here for a while... yeah... "
