MeidasTouch: Pilot Filed Safety Reports After Being Blinded by Lights From Trump's UFC Octagon

Here we have a hot exclusive from Aaron Parnas for MeidasTouch, the far-left outfit that I've noticed keeps being invited to send reporters to CNN as panelists, like young punk Adam Mockler, to whom Scott Jennings said, "GET YOUR F**KING HAND OUT OF MY FACE!" According to Parnas, a commercial airline pilot filed a safety report after nearly being blinded by the lights from the UFC structure set up on the White House South Lawn. It's funny there's only been one report.

Parnas reports:

A commercial airline pilot that spoke to MeidasTouch this evening has filed aviation safety reports after powerful lighting used during the construction and testing of the UFC octagon on the White House grounds allegedly shone directly into their cockpit during a nighttime approach into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), creating what the pilot described as one of the most severe visibility disruptions they have experienced in their career.

The pilot, who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the incident, was flying into Reagan National on a recent flight when aircraft on approach encountered intense white light associated with the UFC event held on the White House South Lawn.

According to the pilot, the lights illuminated the cockpit during the final stages of landing, a critical phase of flight when pilots rely heavily on visual references. The pilot described the incident as “10 times worse than any laser illumination event” the pilot ever experienced.

As I said earlier, considering the traffic into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, you'd think a bunch of pilots would have filed safety reports. But they could only find one, who requested anonymity.

How about the elderly woman from Arlington who filed a lawsuit claiming the UFC octagon caused her "aesthetic injury"?

Will this remain a MeidasTouch exclusive, or are the cable news networks going to pick up the story?
