I doubt the veracity of this account, at all. The liability from flying a malfunctioning, compromised plane is way too high for this to happen more than once.

It's multiple folks on multiple flights and spread across months.

I’m surprised that no one is considering the possibility that it’s a ghost?

Why not the alien soul crystals that enable flight trying to break free?

I'm glad you brought that up because (no joke) nobody can actually explain how aerodynamic lift works, much less how a plane can fly upside down: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/no-one-can-explai...

Right! Ghosts are a definite possibility. We should dispatch our bravest reality TV stars to find out what’s really going on on these flights.

Is Sam Jackson still tied up with his other aeronautical exploits?

The dongle idea is interesting but are we assuming someone is plugging in a dongle and making noises, on all these flights, sometimes for the duration of the flight and nobody finds these dongles?

Presumably they would unplug the dongle at the end of the flight while they retrieve their overhead luggage

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's not a ghost. Ghosts aren't real.

You only think this because the airlines normally suppress them.

Ghosts go to heaven but that’s high in the sky.

Planes fly higher and higher for better fuel efficiency and are starting to capture some of the lower ghosts.

Boeing is suppressing this.

What's the worst that can happen?

You mean besides creating panic in the passenger cabin...?

Or just program them to not do anything until an hour into the next flight.
