looks convincing, but it is not that easy.
I think Armap is the one who has the goods on it, so you could check in with him. We fell for it too until Armap straightened us out...
Matt... no fair picking on Herr ArMap...
This one was posted by me in one of the Moon threads with the explanation...
Now then pay close attention here because it IS important..
The original image number of the "Flying Saucer" posted above is GPN-2000-001993... we found this one when we were looking at that tank with the
weird objects on the bill board...
Why do I call it a "Flying Saucer"? Well why not NASA does!
NASA Center: Headquarters
Image # : 64-Lewis-4
Date : 01/01/1961
Title
Flying Saucer? Aliens?
Full Description
No, it's not a flying saucer, it is the domed top to a 70 foot long vacuum tank at the Lewis Research Center's Electric Propulsion Laboratory,
Cleveland, Ohio. The three technicians shown here in protective clothing had just emerged from within the tank where they had been cleaning in the
toxic mercury atmosphere, left after ion engine testing in the tank. Lewis has since been renamed the John H. Glenn Research Center.
Keywords
Lewis Research Center Ion Propulsion Electric Laboratory
So a saucer shaped "tank" for testing electric propulsion that NASA gives a title to "Flying Saucer"
Uh huh okay so fine tell me again that "There is nothing going on..."
Oh and a couple of key points...
1961 ION PROPULSION
I cannot link directly to the information page so you have to use the search and put in the image number GPN-2000-001993 at this site
grin.hq.nasa.gov...
Oh and those guys in that last photo? Those jolly people are the first meeting of the NACA which is now NASA
Date?
First Meeting of the NACA 1915
So the forerunner of NASA was established in 1915, BEFORE WW II and the NAZI's
(Been saving this one for the right moment

Now brotherthebig... I would suggest you look around this site for old NASA images. They have some interesting one man space capable space planes in
there...
