| #4 "Is 1988, maybe. I am sleeping, sleeping, but head is ringing, ringing, ringing. Wake up, knock over bottle. Am cursing. Pick up telephone. Is Duga: 'Comrade, look outside, quickly!' Stumble stumble. 'Is only Alaska Paul, comrade... as you know very well already! Bastard.' And back to sleep." "Wow, cool story, grandpa!" "Da, da, is how I win Cold War singlehanded. [rolls eyes] Now go away and let me work in peace. Internet will not troll himself!" |

| #1 NORAD takes these seriously. In March 1988 I was flying my plane over to Little Diomede Island on a flight plan, landing on the ice strip on the west side of the island. 1 hour later, I took off. I was going to call Flight Service on the radio when I got to 500 ft altitude. As soon as I cleared the island at 100 ft Flight Service called me and asked if it was my plane "85Kilo" taking off. I said, "Who is asking?" They said, NORAD. |
