UFOS MAY HAVE BEEN B-2 STEALTH BOMBERS by Michael Hawks News Editor
|
|
(No credit given to newspaper)
|
|
|
|
Tony Gonsalves lacked one point of being certified a genius by Mensa, but
|
|
he more than made up for that one point with creativity as he proposed a so-
|
|
lution for somew of the UFOs that have been seen in Wythe County starting in
|
|
the fall of 1988. Gonsalves, a Rhode Island businessman and former Navy jet
|
|
mechanic with an interest in parapsychology, addressed a UFO conference at
|
|
Wytheville Community College Saturday night.
|
|
Gonsalves thinks some of the sightings were of a B-2 stealth bomber, but
|
|
not the jet powered stealth bomber the military has unveiled.
|
|
First he connected the sightings in Wythe County with the sighting of a fly-
|
|
ing wing, or boomerang, seen regularly hoovering over Hudson Valley, N.Y. for
|
|
about eigth and a half years now.
|
|
Then he differentiated between these crafts and traditional UFOs, which Gon-
|
|
salves believes have been visiting earth regularly. Traditional UFOs are small
|
|
circular, oval, triangular or cigar-shaped objects. There are landing traces
|
|
such as a burnt spots or dents on the ground. The cockpits or control areas are
|
|
lighted and visible. Moreover, traditional UFOs are high performance craft,
|
|
capable of incredible speed, stopping abruptly and turning at right angles.
|
|
They also avoid contact with large groups of humans.
|
|
The craft over Hudson Valley, N. Y. broke all theese rules. It was big,
|
|
wing-shaped and slow. There wqere not traces of it landing and no one reported
|
|
seeing a cockpit. It was also seen on a regular basis by several eyewitnesses
|
|
with the most sightings being reported on Thursday.
|
|
Then Gonsalves went on to describe the B-2 stealth bomber as it was unveiled
|
|
in the late 1988. It was a 180-ton aircraft measuring 69 feet from nose to tail
|
|
and having a 172-foot wingspan.
|
|
It is a boomerang-shaped palne with a small fuselage and large wings power-
|
|
ed by four jets capable of producing 19,00 pounds of thrust. It is made of car-
|
|
bon fiber composite that doesn't reflect radar waves, thereby rendering it hard
|
|
to detect by radar.
|
|
When the stealth bomber was unveiled, there were somethings that bothered
|
|
Gonsalves about the plane, given his knowledge of aircraft as a jet mechanic.
|
|
First and foremost was the absence of a vertical stabilizer, which performs
|
|
like a feather on the back of an arrow to keep forward-flying aircraft fyling
|
|
straight. Gonsalves said some people had speculated that the plane was stabi-
|
|
lized by continuous thrusts of air, but he thought this was going to a lot of
|
|
trouble to eliminate vertical stabilizers, which have never been a problem in
|
|
the first place.
|
|
A second thing that bothered Gonsalves was the lack of stealthiness of the
|
|
aircraft unveiled by the military. Even though the stealth bomber is hard to
|
|
detect by radar, a jet engine capable of 19,000 pounds of thrust emits a lot
|
|
of noise, heat and exhaust, all things that give away the position of the air-
|
|
craft. When some people speculated there was a special method of cooling the
|
|
exhaust, Gonsalves said he could not understand how this could be done since
|
|
heat is an integral part of the equation that drives jet engines.
|
|
The only way that Gonsalves could reconcile these doubts was to come up with
|
|
an alternative aircraft, an aircraft that is not a jet but is instead powered
|
|
by some other power source, possibly by an atomic reactor; an aircraft that has
|
|
been in existence for at least eight and a half years.
|
|
He thinks this power source may have been discovered when a UFO reportedly
|
|
crashed near Roswell, N.M. in the 1940s, but only recently have computers be-
|
|
come sophisticated enough to adequately control this power source and allow the
|
|
military to implement it on aircraft. To support this theory, he said the use
|
|
of the code word "Blue" which has traditionally been used by the military to
|
|
describe matters concerning UFOs, is used frequently in the development of
|
|
stealth aircraft. The stealth fighter program was code named "Have Blue" and
|
|
one of the models of the stealth bomber was called "Tacit Blue."
|
|
Several eyewitnesses have noticed "dents" on the underside of the crafts, a
|
|
larger dent situated in front of a smaller one. Gonsalves speculated that the
|
|
larger dent was the main power plant that kept the craft aloft and the smaller
|
|
one was the power plant that propelled the craft in different directions.
|
|
This theory would explain the behavior of the craft, its ability to hoover
|
|
and pivot in any direction. It also explains the absence of a vertical stabi-
|
|
lizer on a hoovering aircraft would cause the craft either to spin around like
|
|
a weathervane or go nose up into the wind. This theory also accounts for the
|
|
silence of the craft.
|
|
Gonsalves also demonstrated with a model the lights that such a craft would
|
|
need around its leading edge and on its underbelly to operate and how it might
|
|
appear like something out of "Encounters of The Third Kind" when all its lights
|
|
are on.
|
|
Gonsalves speculated the reason that the military unveiled the jet stealth
|
|
bomber was to ostensibly bring the project out into the open so Congress would
|
|
fund the program while keeping the real stealth bomber, the one having the al-
|
|
ternate power source, under wraps.
