A 29-year veteran flight attendant related this incident that occurred in the late 1980s on a flight from Palm Springs, California, to Portland, Oregon. Three unusual passengers boarded the flight in Palm Springs-a man who appeared to be about 30 years old with piercing eyes, an 8-year-old boy, and a middle-aged man. The three had no luggage. After the flight took off, the 30-year-old, who sat in seat 23D, asked the attendant the mass and velocity of the aircraft. When ordering drinks and food the man did not seem to understand the names of food and drinks. The other two in the party never spoke.
