I'm sure most of you are aware that the Air Force released information about
|
||
the new Stealth bomber yesterday. Based on the information they presented,
|
||
one could suggest that some (many?) of the UFO sightings in the Hudson Valley
|
||
(again, Kudos to Phil I. for the excellent documentation on the subject)
|
||
could, in fact, be Stealth sightings.
|
||
|
||
Most interesting is the shape of the bomber -- it is a flying wing. You
|
||
could, without streching things, call it a flying boomerang. The design does
|
||
remind one of the UFOs observed.
|
||
|
||
This message is not an argument that the sightings in the Hudson Valley were,
|
||
in fact, Stealth sightings. I'm just pointing out some parallels...

Hi! Have been follwing this forum for a few months and have read most of the
|
||
available info in Dl and many of the books discussed. Living in Central MA I
|
||
had hoped to be hearing of the sightings or some other activity moving up this
|
||
way. Did the Air Force release any info on the capabilities of the Stealth
|
||
Bomber in question? I must admit that if this could be an explanation, I'm
|
||
really disappointed. Had hoped for something more... ceslestial(?).

Not much. They claim that they will have the first units delivered later on,
|
||
although, clearly, they've have prototypes since one of them has already
|
||
crashed...
|
||
|
||
If this is the explanation, there's a lot of facts that have to be explained
|
||
away that don't readily fit in. (Like the hovering and strange reversal of
|
||
course)....

There was a piece on All Things Considered today suggesting that this whole
|
||
story was part of an Air Force disinformation campaign. The suggestion was
|
||
the the stealth plane acutally looks more like the Revelle model than the
|
||
drawing that the Air Force showed.

It would seem odd that they showed what was, at best, an "artist's impression"
|
||
of the plane. If they're that near to delivery, then they should have very
|
||
good computerized drawings of the plane, not to mention scale models.
|
||
|
||
You raise an interesting point!

Maybe the reason they only released a vague sketch is that they don't intend
|
||
to let anyone get a close look at it, for as long as it can be avoided,
|
||
because details of its shape are so critical to stealth technology, and we may
|
||
be ahead of "the other side" in this technology.
|
||
|
||
This would mean that the Hudson Valley boomerang could not be a stealth
|
||
bomber. Another reason for its not being a stealth bomber is that a populated
|
||
area like that would be a poor choice for conducting flight tests.
|
||
|
||
Arguing against this line of reasoning is the fact that spy satellites could
|
||
easily resolve the shape as soon as one flies

At least one has flown, insofar as at least one has already crashed.
|
||
|
||
I agree completely about Westchester being inappropriate for flight tests. It
|
||
would be unlikely that they would do so. On the other hand, one could argue
|
||
that it is at least equally unlikely that UFOs are the cause of all sightings,
|
||
too.

I've just been reading Phil's update in file NIGHT, in which he gives numerous
|
||
descriptions of the flight characteristics, size, and look of this boomerang
|
||
affair. (I'm still trying to cover the current literature in this UFO scene,
|
||
after having given up following it, in frustration, several years ago. I
|
||
haven't read _Night Siege_ yet.) You know, there's no point trying to make
|
||
the stealth bomber explain what people are reporting. It's an aircraft after
|
||
all, and it's not going to hover over people's houses and shine down strange
|
||
lights. Furthermore, this activity has apparently been going on for years
|
||
now. Could the stealth bomber have been undergoing flight tests all that
|
||
time, in a populated area no less, with the Air Force only now releasing a
|
||
sketch of it?

It would seem unlikely. Almost as unlikely, one is tempted to say, as it all
|
||
being caused by extraterrestial beings.

THE THOUGHT ENTERED OUR MIND IF SOME OF THE SIGHTINGS WERE CAUSED BY HIGH
|
||
ALTITUDE STEALTH OPERATIONS. I DOUBT IT! IT DOES NOT SEEM LOGICAL THAT OUR
|
||
GOVERMENT WOULD EXPERIMENT IN SUCH A DENSELEY POPOULATED AREA. ALSO THE AIR
|
||
TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA IS HEAVY. ALSO MANY OF THE SIGHTINGS OF THE HVUFO WERE AT
|
||
LOW ALTITUDE.
