But, the MUFON reports have lots to mull over today - including this strange report(s) of summer sightings in Lawton Michigan:
| Event 1. Driving west on u ave just off of US 131. August 23 at 4 pm daylight. Observed low flying atypical object at tree line height coming from NW. Thought it might hit trees as it crossed in front of me. Crossed my driving path. Very low. No sound. No windows. Dull metal.Long cigar shape. Blackish gray in color. Tail not like any of our jets-shaped like bottom half of a square. Where there would normally be a wing there may have been a bulge not sure but there was an open square cylindar shape at that location. No air liscense id letters or numbers. Flew very smoothly. No lights. It flew across right in front of my car and continued SE. Shortly after it crossed in front of me I felt a strong wind pushing my car from the side and heard a whistling noise and that was one of our jets flying like a bat out of you know were very very low over my car flying toward the other flying object. When I got home, I tried to make a cup of coffee. The coffee pot would not work at all that day. Next day and ever since it has worked. However, there was no effect on my cars ability to run. Event 2. two weeks prior on my street in front of my home at about 8p.m.: I was driving on my street two houses from my home. I observed a very low flying orange ball. At first I thought it was the light on a plane flying over. I was concerned because it was right at tree line height. I thought it would hit them. I stopped the car engine, rolled down the window...no sound from the object. I strained my eyes to see if I could see any thing attached to the ball of light. I could just make out a line coming off off the ball of light on either side as if to make a triangle. The light dipped lower into the trees traveled a short distance that I could not see it in then I saw it in the trees again and it went a little lower. The trees blocked me from seeing anything else. |

And, how about this seemingly impossible report of another summer event - this time in 2011 in Norwalk Connecticut:
| My father was driving into the entrance of the "Toys R Us" toy store to simply buy a gift for my younger brother when I suddenly noticed something fly up from the roof of the store! My first thought was that it was a frisbee but I had read numerous books on U.F.Os and this clearly seemed to be the classic shape of a flying saucer with a short dome on its top!I thought it was too good to be true, but I told my dad to park quickly.As soon as he had, I opened the door and jumped out just in time to see it fly slowly and silently over my head!it was lower than it was when I saw it from the car.Now it was about 25 feet from the ground and it still was descending!It was 23 feet from the ground and I thought it was going to land when it began its ascent.I was running right behind it and pointing excitedly when my older brother exclaimed that he too saw it. My parents and my younger brother never saw it though.I was still following it when a car drove in front of me and cut off my vision. I ran around the car as fast as I could ,but when it got out of my path I only saw it for a fraction of a second before it descended about three feet and disappeared behind a building.I stared at the place where it had flown for a few moments, then turned back to my family and asked if they had seen what I had.To my dismay only my brother had spotted it. I was very excited the rest of our visit and kept looking for anything unusual in the sky but I did not see anything like that for the rest of the day or any time after. |

That object looks like 'Spaceship One' to me; or at least one of the sub-orbital spaceplanes developed by Scaled Composites for the Virgin Galactic 'Space Tourism' program.
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the design of those vehicles, the object in these images could easily be the 'Spaceship One' prototype, or possibly one of the 'Spaceship Two' production vehicles, which I believe are still in flight testing.
The atmospheric re-entry process for these vehicles involves a 'feathered configuration'; where the entire stabilizer/rudder section folds upwards at 90ยบ, allowing the craft to right itself from any angle, and drop down through the atmosphere at safe speeds. After this, the stabilizer folds back into flight configuration and the plane glides back to earth.
One of the photos here looks a lot like one of those planes testing it's feathered/re-entry configuration, and the others look like the plane in flight configuration.
I could be wrong, but I would be tempted to file this one as an 'IFO'.
MrAdamo,
ReplyDeleteWhile I appreciate your articulate position on the matter - I'd find an anomaly with a lens to be more of a culprit. Remember the Goggle Pink UFO of just a few weeks ago.
