Since Saturday, people in the Highlands of Scotland have been
witnessing large movements of US warplanes overhead.
Experienced observers say the large numbers are reminiscent
of those that preceded the bombing of Iraq in 1998 and military
strikes on Libya in the1980's as well as the first Gulf War.
At the weekend warplanes were flying over at a rate of roughly
one every 15 minutes. As well as watching them from the ground
the plane spotters have also been able to overhear pilots talking
by listening to their radio frequencies.
At this rate some 288 warplanes would have passed over Scotland
in three days.
It is thought that the planes have flown on a route from the US
over the north pole to bases in Europe and the Mediterranean.
The size and scale of the movement suggests that the US may
be preparing to strike at a country in the Middle East in the
next week to ten days.
Please pass this information on as widely as possible-the US may
be planning to use the pretext of "foreign" terrorist attacks on
US personnel in Iraq to attack Iran or Syria. Please alert any
sympathetic elected representatives, media representatives and
other sympathetic organisations. Publicising this military
movement may prevent the air-strikes.

This is to do with the NATO summit in scotland
06.11.2003 22:26
Delegators from Russia, and senior american and Nato ministers are meeting there, with increased security in the Area.
I know that RAF teams across the UK have headed to scotland to help beef up security at the meeting, and that the planes are part of a show of force, If the planes are not there next week, then this is more than likely the cause in the upsurge of flights.
