Topic: The Saucers


  
  Military flying saucers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the US, a number of experimental saucer shaped craft were apparently developed as fl projects by Lockheed Corporation for the USAF, and by Convair for the CIA.
The saucer had the advantages of being a Vertical take-off and landing design (so avoiding the need for easily damaged runways), while the shape was well suited to diffusing radar and so making the craft stealthy.
In an apparent attempt to quell speculation about the military nature of flying saucers, a press conference was held in July 1952, at which Major John A. Sandford denied any knowledge of the craft, and retired Major General Donald E. Keyhoe declared his belief that they were of alien origin.

 Unidentified flying object - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By mid-1950, a Gallup poll revealed that the term "flying saucer" had become so deeply ingrained in the American vernacular, that 94% of those polled were familiar with it, making it the best-known term commonly appearing in the news, easily beating out others like "universal military training" (75%), "bookie" (67%), or "cold war" (58%).
Use of "UFO" instead of "flying saucer" was first suggested in 1952 by Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt, the first director of the U. Air Force's Project Blue Book, who felt that "flying saucer" failed to capture the diversity of the sightings.
Rapidly-moving lights or lights with apparent ability to rapidly change direction — the earliest mention of their motion was given as "saucers skipping on water." Disc-shaped craft are sometimes reported to move in an irregular or "wobbly" manner at low speeds.

Alien saucers ionize the air around their edges by millimeter wave radiation, then "thin" it by separating the ions with a magnetic field so they are effectively flying through a rarefied atmosphere similar in composition to the ionosphere.
To these ends, it is suggested that the saucers (involved in the July 1957 event) utilizes a 60 GHz Gyro-klystoron amplifier tube operating with a 0.5 duty factor (that is, it would be turned off for 833 microseconds and on for 833 microsecond every 1667 microsecond pulse rate interval).
Alternately, if the RF antenna is coupled to the saucer's skin in such a way as to permit only a few percent leakage to repel adhering air then microwave power could heat the area around a landed saucer.

 Assembled Saucers
Before placing a saucer, the program saves a saucer-sized patch of background by copying it from screen memory to a buffer.
On each pass through the program's main loop, there is one chance in 16 that a given saucer will attempt to trade positions with an object just in front of or just behind it.
The new background is saved as part of the move routine; in addition, if the saucer is behind the hill or spire, a section of the appropriate landscape is redrawn on top of it.

From guns firing "shells of air to detailed discussions of flying saucers, from beams of sound that were fatal to a man at 50 yards to guns that fired around corners and others that could 'see in the dark'--the list is awe-inspiring in its variety."
Lusar described the saucer as a ring of separate disks carrying adjustable jets rotating around a fixed cockpit.
While any number of books have strongly suggested that The Nazi hierarchy was involved in occult practices, there is no question that the Germans were experimenting with a wide variety of innovative aircraft and propulsion systems toward the end of the war.

At a recent meeting of engineers, it was indicated that, while flying saucer or sphere projects may still be purely hypothetical, new air-defense problems are setting up requirements for aircraft performance that would seem to be most ideally met by a saucer craft such as illustrated above.
The saucer shape lends itself to engineering for strength much more readily than a conventional aircraft does, with its long fuselage, thin wings and troublesome tail unit.

 BBC - Science & Nature - Space - Flying Saucers
Since the age of the 1950s B-movies, flying saucers have been the vehicle of choice for any discerning alien.
However, rather than carrying extra-terrestrials from other planets, the saucer could be transporting you round the Earth or even to the Moon.
Once the saucer nears its destination, the crew would have to slow the ship down by steering through a series of ring-shaped electromagnets on the Moon, before touching down on the lunar surface.

 German Moon Base
According to the authors of the underground German documentary movie from the Thule society, the only produced craft of the Haunibu-3 type - the 74 meter diameter naval warfare dreadnought - was chosen for the most courageous mission of this whole century - the trip to Mars.
The craft was of saucer shape, had the bigger Andromeda tachyon drives, and was armed with four triple gun turrets of large naval caliber (three inverted upside down and attached to the underside of the craft, and the fourth on top of the crew compartments).
The craft was shaped as a giant saucer - a form that is very efficient as an air brake, when it is entered into the atmosphere with its luge cross section perpendicular to the trajectory of descent.

 Invaders from Elsewhere
For awhile it seemed as if flying saucers were crashing every week, judging from the regularity with which any shiny metal found in a field was put forward as a saucer remnant.
In July 1947, for instance, an Australian physiologist confidently stated that flying saucers were merely "the effect of red corpuscles in blood passing in front of the retina." Cloud formations, ball lightning, and the planet Venus were trotted out regularly as well.
This void has left ufology almost entirely to self-taught researchers and the hardest-core saucer buffs, or, as they call themselves, the UFO "community." Although "barrelful of snarling hyenas" might be a more apt description, considering the comic-opera wars and vendettas that divide the field.

 Nazi Flying Saucers
The concept of "flying saucers" has become synonymous with that of UFO, and by logical extension, to "extraterrestrial spacecraft." The truth is that these concepts are not necessarily related.
Long before Kenneth Arnold initiated the modern age of the societal phenomenon known as UFO, there were already "flying saucers" that had little in common with spacecraft from other planets.
During the 1930's, a number of circular wing aircraft were built in the United States, some of which would eventually confuse ufologists, who took them as evidence of UFOs which had crashed on American soil.

To this day, the twin sightings remain mostly unknown to the public at large, and if it were not for the revelation offered by this photograph, this web-based account of these sightings might have rekindled the flying saucer craze of the 1950's and '60's.
UFO "believers" were undoubtedly disheartened by the degree to which alleged photographic evidence of flying saucers diminished in direct proportion to the spread of camcorder technology around the world, a technology that otherwise should have provided convincing proof of the phenomenom.

Once contact with the saucer people is established, Dr. Sanders also learns the real bad news: the creatures are members of a dying breed and they've made a decision to colonize the Earth, by force if necessary.
