Ex-FBI employee claims she saw angels at Flight 93

PITTSBURGH (AP) — 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.

"I'm used to crime scenes but this one blew me out of the water. It just looked like the ground had swallowed up" the plane, Leonardi said.

"That's when I started seeing like shimmery lights ... and it was kind of misty and that's when I first saw, like, the angels there," Leonardi said. "And I didn't say anything to the guys because you can imagine if I would have said, 'I just saw angels on the crash site,' they'd have called the office and they'd have said, 'She lost her mind and tell her to go home.'"

Rescued from the A&A group (who supposedly "rescued" it from LBN, though obviously not for any positive intentions.)

I like the story, plenty of good information and interesting personal stories from different people. I highly recommend reading it

(also, notice the time the story was updated...)

1. So interesting what someone

Who is tuned into the right wavelengths might see. Very interesting.

4. Umm, okay.

I noticed in the story that she said she's a spiritualist now. I'm open to believing her, whether the "facts" surrounding viewing of the site are true or not. That's just kind of "background" info. The story is about her seeing the angels. I found it interesting for how she 'saw' them and interpreted their forms.

I'm also open to believing that she isn't conservative nor fundamentalist, or not any more (both are as anti-mysticism as they come, much like many orthodox religions and dogmas.) We do have former conservatives and fundies on this site, so why not allow for this one to have had a change of heart?

6. I don't see her story as GOP or Democratic or RW

and I'm a little surprised to see such an interpretation in here.

"There were no bodies" how about because the bodies were either incinerated or the devastation was so complete that there were no physical remains? She goes on to talk about how the families of the victims who were brought to the site had no bodies to view or bury, and thus no closure.

She saw shimmering lights. We all interpret what we see and hear based on our filters, and express our interpretations in the language we grew up with. She grew up in the Catholic church, so that colors her perception, but that does not invalidate her experience.

The many shimmering lights may have been angels, as she interpreted. Or maybe they were the victims themselves, or rather, their subtle bodies (i.e. their spirits) now detached from their destroyed physical bodies, and still themselves somewhat "in shock" and hanging out at the scene.

If this book had conveniently been released JIT the 10th anniversary of 9/11, I could see the possible commercial slant. But I see no reason not to take it as it is: one woman's experience that was given the opportunity to write and felt compelled to share.

3. Very interesting..

There's some comments that could be made, but I don't want this discussion to go to the dungeon. Thanks for posting this. I will be on the lookout for this book, it looks good.
