Ex-FBI agent: I saw angels at Flight 93 site

Quote:

(AP) PITTSBURGH - A former police officer who retired from the FBI due to post-traumatic stress disorder linked to her role in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terror attacks has written a book about seeing legions of angels guarding the Pennsylvania site where a hijacked airliner crashed.

Lillie Leonardi served as a liaison between law enforcement and the families of the passengers and crew members killed in the United Airlines Flight 93 crash. She arrived on the scene about three hours after the crash.

Although Leonardi's book, "In the Shadow of a Badge: A Spiritual Memoir," centers on her vision of angels, she argues her life has been changed more by what she didn't see that day.

"The biggest thing for me is that that there were no bodies," she said.

Long story short: She hallucinates, convinces others, writes book, profits.

I am not sure the business model for self published books involves much in the way of profit except for the company doing the publishing

Just a wild guess: I'll bet she believed in angels before she saw them.

I have to wonder why the angels guarded the site where the plane crashed, but didn't guard it while it was crashing. Coffee break?

The corps of guardian angels does seem remarkably inconsistent.....

Makes me wonder why she's an ex..
NOT
Was it a mental discharge ?

Guarding the crash site why? In case Carmen Sandiego came by to steal it?

Yeah, I noticed that some years back.
A handful of Islamic guardian angels were able to thwart 1000s of Christian angels that day.

There are looters who go to those sites for souvenirs.
Like pieces of people.
I know a guy like that.

If she can find people daft enough to buy her book then good luck to her.

I want to know is, where were the UFO's on 9/11. The alien overlords had to be watching his horror unfold somewhere.

Of course there are profits!

After all, there are quite a few people who will pay good money to hear nonsense about angels, but there are very few people who will pay money not to hear about angels.

I doubt she hallucinated anything.
Most likely she blew a mistaken blur from the corner of her eye out of proportion along with an emotional feeling and embellished the memory and her telling of it over time.

Inter-dimensional beings are often mistaken for angels.

That is just silly. The inter-dimensional beings are, as everyone knows, Bigfoots.

They were occupied anal probing some hicks in arkansas, and butchering some cow, though plus they warned us in the circle corn language and we ignored them.
