Thing that gets me is that these days UFOs are mostly reported in the sky's as fast moving, high maneuverability get outta here machines. My big
concern is why is this vehicle advanced enough to stop AA rounds etc only traveling at something like 25 miles per hour? Also if it did cause such a
big hoo haa then why was it merely left to drift out of sight, with no further tracing or pursuit?
There seems to be some witnesses independently sighting something "orange" "beautiful" whatever. But they are unnamed or untraceable...due to the
time elapsed perhaps? That people thought that they had seen something is not the same as there actually being something.
It is conceivable false radar echos and hysteria played a part. The much mentioned 1470 rounds of AAA in what 49 minutes not a lot really. Depends on
the number of guns of course. But really what are the estimates back then up to 5000 rounds to down one aircraft? Look at the footage from any US
Naval engagements against the Imperial Japanese Carrier born aircraft. That sky looks totally and completely covered in fragments. It does not seem
possible that an aircraft could get through...but they did.
AAA defence then was about shooting up a screen of fragments to damage the fragile elements of an aircraft. Not marksmanship. I think proximity and
altitude were the fuses of the day..you had to only get close.....well close..ish.
I think that the type of ammo of the day seems to indicate that they may have hit something. But I can not believe an advanced technology craft would
slowly move away from attack. I would say "Haul ass!" would have been the order of the day, even if the attackers puny weapons were of no affect.
The photo is inconclusive too. We have seen here a few photoshop jobs, with varying results. I looked myself with CS2 but what can you do with a scan
of a piccy that old? You could make it look like whatever you subjectively want it to look like. I think part of the area defined as the object is
actually proximity explosions. What ever is in the middle of all that smoke and metal you can not really make out because the area is saturated.
Has anyone mapped the course of the alleged object? Was it mostly over land?
Interesting case but not totally proved for me.
I wish the investigation well...
Just my 2 cents
Today, the military are running scalar weapons/accelerated particle beam weapons that can reach near speed of light. If i was to show myself today, i
would do it just briefly enough so the satellite targeting system doesn't have time to catch me.
This wasn't the case in 1942, they could have just said. Let's make a show, Here we are, look at us
A semi-dematerialised ship wouldn't be affected by those conventional shells.
