Iraq’s Transportation Minister Insists New Airport is Built on Ancient Alien Launchpad

Iraqi Transport Minister Kazem Finjan held a press conference this week to announce the site of a new airport; the suitability of the site, the high-quality facilities, and also that it’s built on the exact spot extraterrestrials constructed their own spaceship launchpad 7,000 years ago. Before we start questioning the “accuracy” or “sanity” of his statements, let’s at least acknowledge that Kazem Finjan probably held the most interesting airport-related press conference in history. Picture all these bored reporters standing around waiting to ask about how the monorail connects to the arrival terminal, or what kind kebab vendors will be available. Then–BOOM! Here Kazem Finjan with a tirade about how aliens from Niburu (the twelfth planet in our solar system, in case you’re curious) made contact with ancient Sumeria. If American cabinet members incorporated little bits of extraterrestrial history into their speeches like him, C-Span would be a helluva lot more interesting to watch.
