AIR FORCE MILITARY SPY PLANE SPOTS A UFO OVER CALIFORNIA

Kelly Johnson was known as one of the world’s leading aircraft designers. He was in charge of designing the U-2 spy plane for the CIA.

On December 16, 1953, a Lockhead WV2 aircraft was being flown by one of Johnson’s test crews over Long Beach California, at the same time that Johnson and his wife were on the ground in Agoura, California.

Johnson, his wife, and the flight crew all spotted a UFO at almost the same time. Because the plane and Johnson’s location were both known, the location of the unknown object could be triangulated exactly.

The object spotted by the observers was a 200 foot long, black craft, similar to the military’s “Flying Wing.” The UFO was seen for 6-7 minutes as it hovered over the Santa Barbara Channel.

The W-2B decided to get a closer look, and proceeded toward the UFO, which was about 15,000 feet altitude. All the while, Johnson was observing the UFO with his binoculars.

He, along with the crew in flight, saw the UFO take off at a great speed. It headed out over the Pacific. It reached 90 miles altitude as it disappeared from view.

Later, in Johnson’s official report, he stated: “I am now more convinced than ever, that such devices exist, and I have some highly technical converts in this belief.”

After looking over the case, the US Air Force concluded that Johnson, his wife, and the airplane crew had seen a lenticular cloud.

Although the government thought that Johnson could not tell the difference between a cloud and a structured, flying object, they continued to employ him for many years to come, designing some of the most secretive, cutting-edge planes of his era.

KENS NOTE: I guess lenticular clouds take off at great speeds.  The Air Force and the Press must think we are pretty stupid.  These are two of the biggest UFO debunkers known to man.

Thanks to Billy Booth and his UFO Casebook.

UFO WITNESSES BY HUSBAND AND WIFE OVER CUMMINGS GEORGIA.

10-23-10 CUMMINGS GEORGIA

On Saturday, October 23, 2010, my wife and I were traveling in our SUV heading down 141W (Peachtree Parkway) at approximately 11:25am EST. We were approximately 3 miles from our destination when my wife, who was sitting in the front passenger seat stated she sees something in the sky that she can’t identify. I asked her to describe it and she really couldn’t, just that’s she’s never seen anything like it. I then peer out the window for a glance and notice the object. I take a double and then triple-take. It was silver in color. At times it looked cigar shaped but the more we looked at it, it appeared more of a disk. It’s hard to tell exactly how high in the sky it was but I would say it was about the same altitude as a low flying plane. The object was not really moving, it appeared stationary. It was not an airplane, nor helicopter, bi-plane, weather-balloon, flare or anything else of the sort. We were on our way to get our daughter’s hair cut for the first time, so we brought our digital camera. My wife got it out quickly and took the first snapshot. The camera focused on her window so it came out blurry. The next time I told her to zoom in as far as she could go and try to take another picture. She did, and the attached picture is the result. My wife looked at the picture she just took and by the time she looked back up at the object (less than 10 seconds had transpired) was completely out of site. We spent the next couple minutes looking out the windows as we were driving to see if we could again spot it but to no avail. It was definitely gone.

About 25 minutes go by and we are finished getting our daughter’s hair cut. We drive back on 141 although in the opposite direction. As we neared the location where we originally sited the object, we began to look for it again. Amazingly, we spot it, in the same general vicinity, although this time it’s traveling in the opposite direction and moving at a slow but steady speed. I immediately find a parking lot to pull into; it was a church. As I’m about to park the car, the object is in full site, again, moving relatively slow. I take an additional 10 seconds to turn the car 180 degrees into a parking spot. By the time my wife and I get out of the car, the object is now nearly out of sight in the far horizon. I couldn’t even spot it anymore and it was my wife (with her better far sight) that spotted it way off in the distance for a couple seconds before it again disappeared.

In sum, my wife is a UFO skeptic. I was amazed that she was so into this object and she only would have been if it was an extreme anomaly. The shape and variable speeds of the object is most perplexing. To note, as we got back on 141 to drive home, we noticed a black helicopter fly directly overhead at a few hundred feet. When you look at the picture, you will notice a phone/electrical line running across. Directly below is the object. When zooming in, you will immediately notice black bands/spots towards either end. I forwarded the picture to my father late last night, who is an engineer and frequently has contracts with NASA and other aeronautical associations, and he too is states that it is unlike anything he’s ever seen. Please let me know if you have any further questions and I would appreciate knowing whether anything was reported in the sky by any other agency. Thanks and good luck.

Virgin Galactic’s VSS Enterprise achieves first free flight milestone

Last July Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo (SS2), the VSS Enterprise, made its first manned flight. For the duration of that flight, the spacecraft remained attached to its jet-powered carrier aircraft. But over the weekend VSS Enterprise left the protective grip of its mothership, VMS Eve, to successfully achieve its first manned free flight. Released from VMS Eve at an altitude of 45,000 ft (13,700 meters), VSS Enterprise glided for 11 minutes before landing at Mojave Air and Spaceport, successfully completing the two main goals of the flight.

KENS NOTE:  Its always good to know what new and what’s flying around in our skies.  Many sightings are of military experimental aircraft but many sightings are also flying saucers.  Its also known that flying saucers come in many different styles.

7-3-10 BRANT BEACH NEW JERSEY

While vacationing in Brant Beach, NJ, on July 3rd, 2010, 9:30 PM, I took these photos of “fireballs” in the sky over the ocean.

I estimate that these objects were about 1-2 miles from the shore moving from south to north at about 100 miles an hour.

They were probably about 10-20 feet around. The altitude of these objects was about 800-1000 ft. They were witnessed by several (8) other people at my party.

At first we thought they may be helicopters, but, everyone agreed that they had never seen anything like this before.

The fireballs then took a right turn and headed east out into the ocean at a speed that I cannot determine and slowly faded into the distance. The photos were taken with Sony Cybershot camera at set at 2 megapixel resolution.

I called 911 to report the “fireballs,” and the dispatcher joked, “You know it is the fourth of July.”

These were definitely NOT fireworks, nor were they helicopters.

The photo attached shows four separate objects in the sky. The small photos in the middle of the file attached are the original objects at 100% untouched. The larger outer photos are enlarged at 400% and the contrast and brightness has been altered in Photoshop to bring out some details.

I have also attached the 2 original photos, directly from the camera memory card, (untouched) for scrutiny by anyone and everyone.

Again, these are 4 separate objects. They were flying in groups of two. Please scrutinize these photos and reply to my email.

KENS NOTE: We get many reports about UFO’s flying over the fireworks displays. I feel they must be curious too.
