Do you ever get the feeling that it's quieter than it should be? I keep seeing grand claims to know the truth but nobody wants to play when it comes to robustly defending their "truth".



Indeed. For such normally prolific posters, knowers and explainers of all, the cat certainly seems to have their tongue.



At least we get absolute gems like chimps with extra large heads and no hair?! Are we sure they weren't radio controlled Nazi chimp crash test dummies?


Priceless.

-Unusual- Movements!

Now that we have seen that the amazing speeds reported and recorded ranged from 1000 to 15,000 MPH, we can see that Kenneth Arnold's report of 1200 MPH is not that incredible by comparison to the other sightings, even though it was twice the speed of our fastest jets of the day.

What was also incredible, was not only the speed of these craft, but also the -highly- unusual movements.


Here then are some of the various movements they executed while moving at these amazing speeds:

___________________________________________________________________________


May 19 1947 - ...they were spinning on their axis with a circular rim around their lower quarter as they silently moved by in less than twenty seconds at great speed.

(four discs) Beaufort, South Carolina - 11:00 A.M. EST (8:00amPST)

___________________________________________________________________________


May 19 - ...It flew around the area for over twenty minutes making erratic aerial maneuvers that no aircraft they knew of could undertake;

--silver-colored object one thousand feet approaching rapidly from the northeast.
--stopped almost directly overhead.
--watched it perform wild gyrations for several minutes...“began to move erratically in
wide circles
. All this time it reflected light, like metal, but intermittently, as though the angle of reflection might be changing from time to time.”
--For twenty minutes watched it climb, dive, reverse its flight course
--finally moving off into the wind westerly.

(shiny metal-like craft) Manitou Springs, Colorado - 12:15 P.M. MST (11:15amPST)

___________________________________________________________________________


June 12 1947 - ...The disc zig- zagged to the southwest.

(bright metallic ovoid object) Weiser, Idaho - 6:15 P.M. MST

June 14 - ...ten round objects or "saucers" fly over in a loose "V" formation with one straggling in the rear."



They were heading north, but seven of the discs then reversed direction and came back over them toward the south.

(350 mph) Bakersfield, California - 12:00 P.M. PST

___________________________________________________________________________



June 17 - ...seen hovering in the sky for a period of three hours over Bremerton from late in the afternoon until evening.

The objects wavered as they flew, and shot off at extreme speeds toward the west.



(Three platter-shaped discs) Bremerton, Washington - Late afternoon PST

."

(peculiar formation of nine flat, circular objects) Joliet, Illinois 1:50 P.M. CST

___________________________________________________________________________



June 24 - Arnold said the objects weaved from side to side "like the tail of a Chinese kite", darting through the valleys and around the smaller mountain peaks. They would occasionally flip or bank on their edges in unison as they turned or maneuvered causing almost blindingly bright or mirror-like flashes of light.


Mt. Ranier, Washington - 2:59 P.M. PST




___________________________________________________________________________



June 24 - they flew off faster than anything he had seen before, and resembled no object he had been witness to in his 40 years of prospecting.

(five or six discs flying silently) Hood River, Oregon - 3:00 P.M. PST

___________________________________________________________________________



June 25 - ...object approaching at a high rate of speed, and descending rapidly toward the observers' car. It swooped down to 500 feet above the car.

Following this object was another similar one, approaching on the same course. "As the first one approached, we could see it revolving at tremendous speed on its axis, even faster than its forward flight."

As it reached a point just above and ahead of the car, "it suddenly veered off sharply to the right, and at the same time its companion did likewise."

The objects then disappeared to the south in a matter of seconds
.

(a strange oval-shaped object) Pueblo, Colorado

___________________________________________________________________________



June 27 - ...estimated that they were going about two times as fast as an ordinary airliner, "maybe 600 miles an hour.

..."they were bunched... The peculiar thing was the way they moved along -- tilting back and forth, tipping up and down, undulating --and every time they reached the right reflection angle the flashes came,"



-said it was difficult to distinguish the shapes because the objects were "very bright, reflecting the sun like from metal -- not glass mirrors."

-the objects were "very flat, very very thin, particularly when you saw them on edge as they were banking."

-"There wasn't a sound, not a trace of a vapor trail -- just these things sailing along."

-"I am not too excitable and I have good eyesight, and I know what I saw this afternoon," he told the Journal.

"They came over the hill back of us here from the north, and were following straight along the Pacific Highway. Just south of here they veered sharply to the southeast
."

June 28 - ...It approached the observers in a jagged, zigzagging course, with frequent bursts of speed.
In five minutes the light had approached to a point directly overhead, and the four officers reported that it then made a sharp, sudden 90° turn toward the south
.

... they heard no noise.

(a strangely maneuvering light over the base) Montgomery, Alabama - 9:20 p.m. CST (7:20pmPST)

Is it at all possible that Kenneth Arnold witnessed these?

The Horten Ho 229 (the Flying Wing)







The US captured one along along with its specs after the War and it's very possible they built and tested of few of them... These were designed to fly at speeds of up to 1000 km/h. Pretty fast for those days

It's also said that the USSR had built flying wings based off the same German concepts and technology.

Maybe Arnold actually witnessed these. Black Project perhaps?

Actually.... NO.

He saw round silver saucers with the exception of one "heel- shaped" one (he suddenly "remembered" the heel- shaped one weeks later during questioning by AAF officers when shown the Rhodes photo).

That misconception has been covered in detail here:

Yes, your image of Kenneth Arnold's letter to the USAF on page 2 of that thread clears that up, showing that he saw eight discs and one batarang. Larry King had some woman psychologist on strongly making that false claim about Arnold's sighting and that it got people imagining saucers. Arnold himself sounded pretty angry about nondisclosure on UFO Hunters.

And although there are so many hoaxed photo it's nearly impossible to pick out any that are likely to be genuine, these two are at least from official sources, hopefully giving them some measure of reliability:

Oh and a postscript for the Unusual Movements, just to be thorough -


July 4 1947 - Seattle, Washington

I happened to look up and saw a bright, oval-shaped object coming down from the upper atmosphere.

There was no sound of motors. The object had no wings.

The object made a very sharp almost 90-degree turn to the horizontal and then sped south along Puget Sound at high speed and towards Mt. St. Helens.

I find it very amusing that our own SkepticOverlord had a sighting -very- much like the one described above, just last winter.


He even created an animation and thread to describe it. (too bad it didn't happen in the middle of a rash of flying saucer sightings like these so he could know what it was!
)

He mentioned the reason he created an animation is because mere words did not do it justice. That's funny... that's the same reason I created an animation for my first UFO sighting.

Thanks for continuing to bring this information to light.
I have read Lt Corso's book and found it fascinating.
I enjoy the "Foreign Technology Office" joke...
I wonder how many Chinese lanterns they have back engineered nowadays?

If one takes the time...they can find statements made by General Eisenhour prior to his election to President....that document his own encounters and statements about E.T. craft. Once he became President...he quickly formed a comittee...which then became an agency....which delt with all that is E.T.

Eisenhour loathed Truman and had made many attempts to get Truman to form this agency prior to his election. Back then...there was not a clear methodology used in any UFO coverup or recovery. There is much to read.

A51Watcher could be just speculating or even lying. He was claiming how he knows someone that also confirms there have been alien bodies. Yet this could be disinfo, or just a very good mind game like this: someone decided to claim he knows Castello, showed never existing pictures he claimed are Dulce, was very convincing but his pics got busted and he confessed he's a hoaxer. And then he still lcontinued to claim the pics are hoax but he is telling truth when he wasn't, and some silly people still believed him.

I stand in the position that the Earth needs to dispose of trash and hoaxers of this magnitude should be part of it. You'd better not be another one, A51Watcher.

I think you need to explain your ad hominem.

Definition of AD HOMINEM
1 : appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect
2 : marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made
Source: www.merriam-webster.com...

What is the basis of your belief that A51Watcher is a "hoaxer"?

Are you trying to defame a members character which is not allowed on ATS (see T&C). If you have no evidence that what is presented is not true, I suggest you admit that is so. If you don't respond to this post I think we can allow the readers to draw the conclusion that you have none.

What is not allowed on the forum is attacking a member and more specifically personal insults which is a common rule on forums. That does not include attacking the person's thoughts or beliefs or claims due to doubting. This is done all the time and what debating means.

There were things like he knew Phil Schneider or some video I have watched on YouTube with Schneider, it turned out he's not the one who's been with Schneider. OR

If he's not lying on purpose, he could very much be presenting theories of his that do not lead to anything more plausible about Rosewell

The link I posted is a perfect example of how someone can sound very credible yet be a hoaxer. Follow it if you dont believe even the most serious person may be a hoaxer.

You are deliberately trying to twist the facts. You asked about a video and the mistake was yours. There was no claim that A51Watcher was the guy in the video.

1) So A51Watcher you have been with Phil Schneider? I watched the video on your YouTube profile and frankly. Ive never seen Schneider anywhere else on other than the lectures he gives. In your video on YT Phil Schiender was with you apparently near Area 51 in 1989.


1) No. You incorrectly assume that I am Ron Rummel.

Google will help you discover that Ron is dead.
Looks clear enough to me.

A51Watcher has claimed in another thread to have spoken to Schneider. That is hardly far fetched if you knew who he really was. Anybody on the UFO scene in those days would have likely met Schneider. You know that don't you? If you spoke/messaged A51Watcher he would likely have put your mind at rest. However, there is little to no chance of you getting a reply because....

I am FOR depopulation of the rubbish on our planet, not all human beings. I think human rights need be for those who are really good in nature and will not do crimes, corruption, lies, greed all negative.

Then get rid of the useless minorities like gipsies who don't want to work when given the opportunity and whose only way of living is stealing.

I am sorry but creatures that say such things do not deserve the time of day.
I am surprised you were allowed to post such racist, sickening and unholesome tripe.

The material in this thread certainly makes the proposition that "Rosewell"
could be plausible (if you mean by that ET/extradimensional/time travellers or whatever).

If you have no evidence that A51 is lying then it is defamatory to say so and you need to give up on this. It makes you look even more twisted, if that is possible after the quote above and the following one.

I strongly suggest you be careful what you say in future. That looks perilously close to a threat.
