It was a calm early morning at the Gale\u00e3o Control Tower.
Given the time that has passed, I no longer remember the date or who my "overnight" companion was, but I still had perfect hearing and, because of the minimal movement typical of that time of day, the most difficult part of the job was to stay alert for any noise that might sound like an aircraft calling on the radio.
(This report about extraterrestrials is not based on rumor, but on air traffic control.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real hard work happened during the "overnight stay," with the intense domestic and international arrival and departure traffic, which demanded a genuine joint effort of authorizations and coordination that turned into meticulous instructions, transmitted to the commanders from before the start of taxiing until their transfer to control: a team of five or six controllers had to strive to deal with all this, in addition to managing things like fire trucks constantly needing to cross the runways, the local traffic of "aerial reporters" who occasionally, without proper communication, decided to cross the final approach to film some traffic jam or conflict in a favela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were also the phone calls: despite the constant work of the entire team, someone would always call to ask for a "little favor," like an estimated landing time for an aircraft that hadn't even taken off; or the cases of some boss or controller who, in an obvious act of adultery, would give the tower's phone number instead of their own to any girlfriends...
It wasn't possible to simply ignore this type of communication because, sometimes, it was through these sporadic phone calls that we learned about dangerous balloons that posed a risk to aviation or even about "backyard aviation" operations whose consequences could affect commercial traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I begin the year by presenting an episode that happened to me when I worked as an air traffic controller, which, initially, may seem completely unrelated to the Gospel. However, to those who have the patience to follow the development of the reasoning, I promise to present a relatively underutilized perspective on the spiritual world.<\/p>\n\n\n
