STAR (Shock Trauma Air Rescue) Flight of Austin, Texas, met the initial FAA requirements for its NVG program and had AEC do the ground and flight training. Subsequently, its director of aviation, Willy Culberson, a former Army pilot with previous goggle experience , became NVG-instructor qualified and was checked out by the FAA. This allowed AEC to do the initial ground and flight training and Culberson to sign off his pilots' logbooks with their final check flights. Once the training was completed, the FAA flew a check ride with each pilot and now conducts annual check rides to ensure proficiency. Once STAR pulls in more pilots, Culberson will have one of his flyers become approved by the FAA to give NVG check rides. Said Culberson, �One of the drawbacks we are facing is the lack of NVG instructors with the FAA for annual evaluations.�

EUROCOPTER GOLDEN HOUR AWARD: Austin-Travis County STAR Flight; Pilots and Crews, Austin, Texas STAR Flight is a public safety helicopter program operated by a unique partnership between Travis County and the City of Austin, Texas. As part of the Austin-Travis County EMS System, STAR Flight provides emergency helicopter services to a 19-county area, centered around Austin. Founded in 1985 as an EMS service for Travis County and the greater central Texas region, the program has evolved over the years to provide a broad-based set of services, which includes helicopter EMS and transportation, search and rescue, law enforcement, and aerial fire fighting. Those capabilities were brought to bear in November of 2001, when the Austin area experienced its worst flooding on record. Rains during the November storm fell at the rate of five inches per hour, and winds gusted up to 60 knots. The resulting flood left hundreds not only in life-threatening situations, but in areas inaccessible to ground rescue crews. Over the course of the flood, the pilots, nurses, paramedics and mechanics of STAR Flight 1 and STAR Flight 2 performed 24 short-haul rescues. Austin residents concede that without the effort and dedication of STAR Flight's rescue professionals, 24 Texans might have lost their lives that night. STAR Flight's tireless commitment to the central Texas community, as well as their dedication to providing informed, experienced and state-of-the-art air rescue services, embodies the standard of courage and professionalism that HAI's Eurocopter Golden Hour Award seeks to reward. HAI is proud to recognize the staff and crews of STAR Flight for their selfless service and invaluable contributions to the helicopter industry.
Altogether, it's been a great thread and I think we could be as close to what happened as it's possible to get. A lot of your ideas have led to other ideas so thanks for that Thanks to Dalbeck too for posting it It isn't that often a thread comes along that tests the brain cells...once every few weeks.
I don't think it was a radioactive clean up, but you don't hear me getting all cocky and saying 'we' can rule it out. So two people pull up on a radioactive clean up that's just finishing, with apparently the most dangerous part of the device floating around over the road or whatever... And there's not a single person anywhere? No other vehicles, no road blocks... not so much as a cop car... and they just come driving up and nobody stops them? It would have been easy to block the road miles up.
That would have been the first thing their lawyer would have done. Obviously nobody found any. You'd have to do a lot more than just remove the surface of the pavement. There would be abnormal traces left no matter how much stuff you removed. How does the clean up scenario explain any of the claims any better than my ideas? At least mine has a chance. Where's the 'up in the air' part come in? The noise? The "flames"?
Have you even read the AF transcript?
I've worked on this for three years. There's absolutely no reason why my ideas can't be in the running just as much as anything else. Seems like the only problem people have with it, is that it's not outlandish enough. Everybody just want's this to be some big exotic thing that's all mysterious, with a big huge conspiracy behind it... and radioactive stuff and all this other crap. That's why everybody keeps insisting everything the women said is absolutely 100% fact. You just don't want it to be something boring, is all it is.

If you're interested, I've uploaded the MUFON Journal that features the Schuessler report. It's right here.

You might want to look at that issue. It mentions a MUFON-CES report (No 10) that details UFO sightings by astronomers.
Bottom line... They said they saw something as big as a water tower with flames shooting out the bottom. Seems like this would be a pretty easy thing to spot in the sky. This wasn't that late at night. But not a single other person in the whole state said they saw this, including the cop that saw the copters. Other than two people's claims... there is no evidence of any ship whatsoever. Other than their claims...
There is no evidence of a cleanup. Yet... They appeared to be injured by something that gave them skin burns and burns on their eyes. So what did that? The only solid thing that could for sure do that on that road... Bright light, burns on the skin and eyes, and heat... is from that power line.
A power line that the kid/man claims is right near the spot where it happened. Did it actually do it? I cannot 100% prove that. But to say that is ruled out is ridiculous. If you don't want me to lose my patience, then don't talk to me like I'm some dingy house wife on "The Price is Right", that just guessed the wrong price for a refrigerator.
If somebody wants to try and email that guy, I would highly recommend that you state right up front that you believe it was something mundane, or that it was a mistake... and make it very clear you're not looking for aliens or some other stuff.

And Oilfield laborer Jerry McDonald was in his back garden in Dayton when he witnessed a large UFO flying over his head. At first he thought it was the goodyear airship, but quickly realized it was something else. "It was kind of diamond shaped and had two twin torches that were shooting brilliant blue flames out the back", he said. As it passed about 45 meters above him he saw that it had two bright lights on it and a red light in the center.
