Subject: Sighting of new Axis Nova airship?
So, then. I was cruising around in the desert, looking for the tomb of King Kepuhet the forth... it was a hot day. I remember it seemed unusually hot.
So, anyways, my driver was driving the dune buggy, and I was scanning the horizon with my binoculars, keeping an eye out for any military activity. It is quite illegal to be artifact hunting, after all... but anyways, that's irrelevant.
So I'm scanning the horizon... and then for some reason, I take a look up at the sky. There's something moving up there... I almost missed it, but then it turned sharply. It looked like some sort of UAV. Then I start hearing this series of "whoosh-chnk" noises, so I look around a little more. Then I notice that part of the sky doesn't look quite right...
It looked like a gigantic flying wing... and it was launching and recovering UAVs or drones or something. It was almost silent... I could barely hear it over the sound of my buggy's engine.
Now, I can't prove it was an Axis Nova bird... but frankly, who else uses airships as a major part of their military?
Anyways, after about 5 minutes, the airship moved off, and I lost it.
That's all...
Attached to the message is a blurry pic of a faint smudge in the desert sky. It could be anything... a cloud, a spot on the film, or perhaps an airship like the poster of the article suggests.

(OOC: I'm bored lately, so I'm tossing this out to see where it goes. This could mean anything... from Axis Nova keeping an eye on the situation there, or mabye something else... I made this in the form of an anonymous newsgroup post.)
