Reading that book you told me about...at least, the pdf version.
One paragraph struck me as "oh, so indicative as being real" that I had to return and post it:
Well, they told us it was all top secret but they looked inside anyway. Everybody down there did when they were loading the trucks. MPs were walking around with sidearms and even the officers were standing guard, “ Brown said. “But the guys who loaded the trucks said they looked inside the boxes and didn’t believe what they saw. You got security clearance, Major. You can come in here. “
OMG this is so realistic! LOL Honestly...I have a friend who (nothing ufo related) told me about how he and his fellow airmen who were out on training maneuvers were told to close all windows in their vehicle and not to look outside...tops secret stuff. Of course...they looked. His description was just like the above quote LOL
This is a really good read, thanks again for introducing me to it.

Hey Dave, did you happen to know THIS alleged flight engineer personally? If so, how about telling us his name?
but I could call my youngest daughter who is a psychologist and has a doctorate and a license to practice in the state of North Carolina and ask her, if you are really interested...
I used the reptilian example as an example of something claimed that totally lacks any logic whatsoever.

Now you're just being silly. Is there any actual evidence of ANYTHING on ATS that proves or disproves ANYTHING? Got some physical affidavits up here? LOL
Even if I knew his name, what would that matter? The point is that every flight engineer I have know (and I have known a few as well as pilots) are smart, observant/aware and have a good eye for detail. You want to make that a bad thing? Go for it.

I had a school friend who spent a lot of time sitting in nuclear subs underneath the ice , months at a time just reading book's .
I thought it was really funny when they announced years ago that the Russian put a flag under the pole at the Arctic and said it compared to putting a flag on the moon .
Yet nobody has published charts of the under sea on either pole
A lot is not published and I would think the paths under Antarctica are still secret in nature. One of the reasons I'm a skeptic is to the simple fact I have not seen a single thing with 10,000+ hours of flying all over the world and doing a lot of classified missions in the areas not well known.
This is why I feel that anything UFO is a lot like ghost in unless you have had a personal experience then it is only a story.

1. exact timeframe?
2. any info about possible no fly zones in the area?

I absolutely appreciate your feedback on this thread. I remember when I thought the same way as you. I had never experienced a sighting, and I thought .. well ... I didn't think too highly of people who claimed to have witnessed a UFO.

An interesting story but, this alleged "flight engineer" is male so from the article;
NO WORDS OUT OF THESE SCIENTISTS?
Not to my knowledge. I mean, our crew didn't hear anything.
HOW MANY WERE THERE?
At least ten, maybe fifteen (scared scientists).
WERE THEY ALL MALE?
No, there was at least one female, and maybe two.
I point you to the number of scientists and you have to remember, the guy is a flight engineer and if he's worth anything, he will be very observant.
So, he should know exactly how many scientists there were in total or at least within +/-1. He would have had to have know this I believe for the fuel requirements of the plane as well, extra weight is extra fuel. Of course, in the Antarctic they probably fly with close to full "tank" anyway, so it may not be important in that respect. However, he's male, we always notice women, the number of them, physical makeup when possible (probably covered in lots of bulky weather resistant clothing), but still, this is an unusual situation and being a flight engineer and probably observant, I believe that if it happened he would remember.
On both counts, the number of scientists and the number of females, there is a 50% margin of error. That kind of reporting is unacceptable for a flight engineer, any I've known. Not trying to debunk the story, just find this inconsistency odd.

you're missing a point. or two.
first, how many years have passed.
second, his age. he probably just forgot the exact number.
I'm almost 60 now, when I was around 50, I wrote a book that is about 600 pages long (6x9 format) in 30 days primarily from memory and only used my past notes, journals and photographic records to confirm my memory was correct (after I finished writing and I was 99.9% correct, memory to written evidence). Half of the book spanned 1984 to 1990, the other half 1990 to 2001. I was involved in some pretty nasty sh@t, I had PTSD for 10 years before I even started writing. Even now at 60, I can recite any part of that book, not word for word, but all the pertinent points from memory, no cheat sheets.
Now, what was your point? Are you saying a flight engineer who is supposed to be a smart guy, whose job it is to be aware and observant isn't going to remember things? Unlikely if the story is real. I know flight engineers personally, that were in the military and they be smart and observant cookies.
Cheers - Dave

I think I am screwed until aliens are really uncovered, like a District 9 Scenario. The main reason other than just never seeing anything at all in all my experiences, is that I really understand the limited nature of human perception, and how our brains fake us out to the point we are convinced that our perception is much better than it is.

You have to stop assuming that the Flight Engineer is just like you. People are different. All I see on this thread not mostly are people making broad assumptions about how the F/E should be razor-sharp, perfect this and that and if not then he's a fraud etc.
The caverns within the earth are real! Maybe, maybe not an actual Hollow Earth but bases there are...
