S & F !!!!!

OMG...THANK YOU! I am NOT crazy. I have SEEN one of these recently and it has been driving me friggin CRAZY. It was not the same shape and obviously they have developed them further so it can now go a bit faster than 60 MPH...but that 'hovering' and wierd forward motion is EXACTLY what it was like.

I was so perplexed that I started a thread here:

Thread trying to identify odd aircraft


If you look at the drawing I did (no photots) although it is a bit off you can see it was very much shaped like a giant blue herring in fight. It seemed about 12 to 15ft long and around 300 ft up in the air, traveling at first around 50 mph and then excelerating up the valley at probably over 100mph. Wrapping my brain around this new info, I am thinking that the 'wing' area might be where someone would stand....or perhaps the pilot would lie down and those wings are to help with steering vs keeping it aloft which would explain their angle.

Wow...thanks again. For what it's worth, I also find it interesting that this old craft is in Seattle and I live just an hour North of there. There is a navy base about 45 min away too. Hmmmmm......(Or maybe it is a personal craft)

I remember this. Yes it is real.

What is scary is to think that it is an "ancient relic in a museum". Um where does that leave me seeing as I was in my twenties when this thing came out?

Hi there, here's my input on it:

Since I'm interested in exotic crafts like this the Cash/Landrum case has always beeno of special interest to me.

Look at this page:
www.williams-int.com... Williams International has a special affiliation with the US military as you can see on their website.

It seems the military wasn't interested in this one-man-vehicle but of course they developed a better/ bigger craft within the world of black budgets.

So this vehicle is called the WASP (Williams Aerial Systems Platform). A floating craft came down on the road in the Cash/ Landrum incident - much bigger (descibed as big as a watertower) and lifted off again. One person from the military branch came towards the doctor of the injured women caused by the radiation (although WASP X Jet wasn't propelled by nuclear materials) and told him that the craft was called the "WASP 2"! So you can draw your on conclusions! I will create another thread in the coming days including researches of myself regarding the Cash/ Landrum incident.

And ah yes...I would love to have such a craft in my garage !!
