This is awesome!!! Now the question is whether it was a super-top secret government project or a extraterrestrial craft. Both are pretty plausible, and I actually think that at this point the government would be more quiet about the first option.

I am so excited

Nice find Frans. Found it interesting the MIB were sent in to jack that report down. Something amazing happened there. No doubt in my mind.

Thanks for the update Fran. I think it very interesting how something that has a radar return can accelerate to 2100 mph and not create a sonic boom. This means more than likely they create some kind of field around the ship that allows it to become free of our gravity and also the friction experienced with conventional airplanes which causes the very loud boom.

Wonder if maybe they were heading over to Crawford to pick up the decider for a hoedown yeeeeeeehhhhhaaaaa.

I wanted you to jump on this one uforeality now you can do what you usually do and thats take this to the top . Good work by the way!

okay, I'm not trying to find flaws or be the downer of this thread, but what are the chances this UFO was the Aurora? We, the public, have no certain evidence of what this monster of an aircraft has and what it's capable of? I'm not saying this could be another planetary visitor nor would i want to rule that possibility out, but let's think of other things that could be it rather than jumping to the UFO conclusion, shut down the other possibilities that could be used an excuse so all we are left with is a true UFO.

(PS: i checked the link but didn't see a video, is there a video over there via another link or something? All i saw were words.)

With our current mainstream understanding. That should have broken every window in Stephensville from the sonic blast. It was sumptin' else Jed.

finally those poor people who were criticized by the media and made fools out of have some evidence to back up their clam. star and flagged

Shouldn't the title of the thread be the same as the title of the article? Isn't that one of the rules?

Ignoring the possible rule-bending title, I will use the opportunity of reading this report to get more information about this case, I was too busy when it happened and I did not saw it at first, so I never had the time read about it.

Flagged, even with this title, it's important information.

If the craft in question was extra-terrestrial in origin, it might be safe to assume the existence of some sort of "anti-gravity" capability.

That being the case, it might be that the craft was able to avoid creating a sonic boom as it accelerated as a by-product of the localized gravitional distortion generated by the the ship itself.

Just guessing here but, if the air molecules in the immediate vicinity of the craft were affected by a low/no gravity field, would that not affect how they respond to the physics of pressure wave generation which results in a sonic boom?

If a given quantity of air has no mass (as a result of exposure to gravity-nullification) could that quantity of air sustain a "pressure wave", that is to say, propagate the conditions necessary for a sonic boom?


On a more terrestrial (but likely less effective) scale, another way to mitigate the conditions that would result in a sonic boom would be to micro-control the laminar flow of the air stream as it passes ove (and under) the craft.

This might be accomplished by incorporating micro-electronic mechanical (MEM) devices on the surface of the the craft's "skin".

Think of how the "flufffy" feathyers of an owl distrupt the sound waves generated by its wings, allowing the owl almost "silent flight".
