	John Nance Productions - Skyhook
		John J. Nance, the best-selling author of aviation thrillers, has just taken off with his latest novel, "Skyhook." And, as usual, readers are in for death-defying plane rides, lively dialogue and realistic characters who survive crises with courage and humor.
		A fl ops operation is in effect called the Skyhook Project, a way for pilots on the ground to control military aircraft that won't or can't return to base.
		Skyhook, as Nance's protagonist Ben Cole explains, is a secret computer program designed to aid a plane having flight problems.

	The Cold War's Classified Skyhook Program (Skeptical Inquirer May 2004)
		Classified high-altitude, long-duration flights of huge Skyhook balloons, which often returned their secret payloads to the surface, began in 1947 and continued for several decades.
		Skyhooks were to be evaluated as a balloon bomber in the event of an actual war.
		Skyhook incidents near to or on the ground, like this previous case, provoked more UFO tales than balloons at an altitude.

		He wanted him to get the skyhook off as quickly as possible at a range that didn’t force him to use more than his fingers and wrist once his teammates supplied him with the ball, said Wooden, owner of a record 10 NCAA championships.
		And because Abdul-Jabbar shot the skyhook to perfection, with his forearm out to create room between himself and the defender while his left leg propelled him to the peak of his jump as his right arm powerfully raised up his hand to softly release the shot, opposing teams had no chance of grounding him.
		His mastery of the skyhook abled the Los Angeles Lakers' coaching staff to create new plays for their captain in hopes of throwing off teams who began designing traps and defenses for his shot off the right block.

		Half a skyhook is better than none For a given material, the required mass of a spinning cable is exponential in the square of the desired velocity of the cable tips.
		The skyhook structure, whichever variety, incorporates a power plant and a propulsion system to boost the upper end of the growing skyhook into the correct orbit, and to replace orbital momentum transferred to the shuttle payloads on each docking.
		The skyhook can be looked upon as an energy and momentum storage system by which an ion engine operating for long periods can accumulate its effect for the short, high intensity, spurts needed in an earth launch.

		The Skyhook then uses your departing malfunctioned main canopy as a super pilot chute to deploy your reserve canopy, taking about ½ second from breakaway to line stretch (reserve canopy out of the bag).
		During a breakaway from a partial malfunction, the Skyhook RSL will pull your reserve pin and then lift your reserve canopy out of the container, getting it to line stretch in about half a second.
		The Skyhook may help you even in this situation, by assisting the reserve pilot chute out of the burble before it lets it go, thus making entanglement with the still attached main less likely.

	AOL introduces location plug-in for instant messaging so users can see where buddies are - Breaking - Technology - ...
		The Skyhook plug-in, available as a free download, adds a new grouping to AIM's buddy list window called "Near Me." That group will feature the names of any buddies who opt to share their locations and who are within a set distance from the AIM user.
		While both Jenckes and Ted Morgan, founder and chief executive of Skyhook, said they expect to see the new location capabilities integrated with the AIM clients now found on mobile phones, that means they will need to persuade wireless carriers to facilitate the competition with their own location-based offerings.
		When an AIM user installs Skyhook, the application gathers the identifying codes for all access points that are detected by the Wi-Fi card in the computer, then compares those with the database to identify the person's location.

	Skyhook Links Wi-Fi with LBS - 6/23/2005 10:52:00 AM - Wireless Week - CA610349 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Skyhook's plan is to have 100 metro areas ready by the end of the year.
		Well, Skyhook executives acknowledge the LBS market has been hampered, and they attribute that to the limitations of "traditional positioning systems." Such systems require new hardware in mobile devices and line-of-site views of orbiting satellites and suffer from reliability issues in urban areas, Skyhook says.
		But Skyhook is so far ahead in building its patent portfolio and collecting the data, they're confident the competition won't catch up any time soon.

		My main fear while test jumping the Skyhook was deploying in an unstable situation, but after a few test jumps I realized that there was simply not the time to tumble through lines so this was another problem averted whilst using Skyhook.....all I experienced were nice, super clean openings.
		While everyone should be comfortable landing their reserves in tight outs, I’m happy that the Skyhook helps increase the chance that I’ll make it back to the main landing area, or at least give me more time to find the best possible out.

		To adapt Skyhook to the Stoof, the Naval Air Rework Facility at Pensacola attached the boom to the Stoof’s nose, removed all its ASW gear and installed a winch near an entry hole where the radar antenna had been underneath the fuselage just aft of the wing.
		The Skyhook concept was quite simple: hoist a 500-foot line attached to a load on the ground with a helium balloon; intercept the line on the nose boom and then reel the load into the rear of the airplane.

		Source: http://www.roswellproof.homestead.com/LIFE_1952.html It seems the Skyhook explanation was considered from the very beginning, but due to its classification status, confirming information was hard to come by.
		At higher altitudes, Skyhook balloons tend to lose their spheroid shape and undulate slowly in air currents, often assuming the shape of eggs or discs.
		It seems to me that all the reports in the Mantell case point to a Skyhook as the source of his sighting with a 99% probability, but with a little more digging could be increased to about a 99.9% probability.
