The design of the artefact nevertheless corresponded perfectly with the design of aircraft – and even the space shuttle and the supersonic Concorde.
Early test flights were a success. The plane had a stable flight path and was able to make accurate and comfortable landings. In short: the artefact behaved as a plane was meant to behave.
Yes, flying fish.

Really? Does it have a longer air flow path over the wings than under the wings? Its wings look flat.
It has the same aeronautic principles as NASA's Apollo space shuttle.
A rock, no, that's why I said "most things" and not "all things".
The design is what allows flight in these mannerisms, a rock or fish wouldn't be able to do this. The designs on these ancient toys were that of 21st century technology.

But a fish can fly for a short time without an engine, and even if it was an aeroplane that's not 21st century technology, it's 19th century technology.
PS: the models in that link are not exact reproductions of the object in the photo, the rear "wings" are closer to main "wings" in the model and the model looks like a stretched, longer version of the gold object.
In 1997 researchers built scaled up models of these artifacts to test their flight capabilities. The exact specifications were scaled up and made of materials used for flight of small radio controlled craft.

Some of these are strikingly close to those cave drawings.

If aliens have been coming here for thousands of years then why did they stop?
It's been over 230 plus years of real time information in America alone. Even back in 1776 they had the printing press. Yet, no real time, intelligent, historical records exist? Why hasn't Ben Franklin said,"a ship from the sky showed up one day with advanced technology?" Where are those records AFTER thousands of years of visits?
It just seems odd they all of a sudden stopped making appearances AFTER they made appearances routinely.
Ponder this 2...
I'm one of those folks who think the Earth has been destroyed numerous times. And each time mankind re-flourishes. Is it possible what we believe to be Alien Astronauts is nothing more than ourselves re-flourishing?edit on 17-4-2011 by LosLobos because: (no reason given)
