Army Helicopter's UFO Scare Still A Mystery, 40 Years Later
Discussion
What gets me about these discussions is that because of the deeply ingrained association between UFOs and alien visitation then intelligent people feel disinclined to accept that the witnesses actually witnessed a physical craft. The stranger the appearance and the more impossible the flight characteristics of this supposed craft then the stronger the denial that sane and very switched on people actually saw anything of consequence.
For example, if Pistonheads' own EricMc could distance himself from the ET connection then he should be absolutely fascinated by the silent flying triangles that have been witnessed by thousands all over the World for decades. There is mountains of evidence that these exist but of course few investigate them because of the stigma of being involved in something that many believe to be ET-related.
The only Earthly explanation for silent flying triangles is that a government has developed the mother of all stealth aircraft. In fact it's so stealthy that they want to keep it that way hence no bedroom posters for the kids and they silently hover happily over UK backyards and countryside secure in the knowledge that anybody seeing them and crying UFO will be disregarded as mistaken or another nutter. <mischief mode> They also possibly want to to keep their existence a secret because the technology they use wasn't first developed in this solar system

Come on Eric, Google Silent Flying Triangle 2013 and tell us what you think is going on here! It's right up your street

No, people accept what they want to hear. The evidence is there, it is very questionable. I have seen what people will accept when the actual events are nothing as described by the persons wanting it to be aliens.
"The only Earthly explanation for silent flying triangles" etc etc. Why your interpretation? There are others. It should read "One of the theories is" and then, "the more plausible is" etc etc. "The only" indicates you have examined in depth the alternatives and ruled them out.

Strange how, considering the progress made with camera technology over the last 50 years, the images on show are just as blurry as the alien hub cap photos from the 60's. Eric Mc said:

No - because an extraordinary claim can be completely made up or be made by someone who is totally clueless. And authorities don't have the resources to waste investigating dumb claims made by the clueless, ignorant or mischevious.
It may be a chestnut but it is a valid chestnut.
What about claims by military pilots or astronauts or are they totally clueless?It may be a chestnut but it is a valid chestnut.
I say they are.
And they have been investigated where appropriate.
The whole UFO thing is a pile off old cock and it always has been.
After 70 years of so called sightings there is still not one scintilla of evidence that ANYTHING has ever been seen that has anything to do with extra-terrestrial life.
And as for so called "black projects" (mystery flying triangles included) - of course these have existed but ALWAYS after a relatively few short years the true nature of each project has emerged and a real vehicle revealed.
There have been enough REAL flying triangles built for idiots who don't know what they are looking at to misidentify them - from Vulcans to Mirages to Delta Daggers and a whole host of other real aeroplanes.
The idea that secret technologies and craft can fly around for decades without something concrete emerging about them is utter tripe of the highest order and only fit for those who wish to believe in nonsensical conspiracy theories.
I wish people just gave this whole area a rest and used their brains - and redirect their sense of wonder - to more useful pursuits.

You really think so?The whole UFO thing is a pile off old cock and it always has been.

In your opinion then every single UFO report is explainable or a crock?
There are some senior military officers who would disagree with you and they have real world experience, they're not just internet forum jockeys.
I do think so.
I've read enough about the whole phenomenon over nearly 50 years to come to the conclusion that it is essentially crock - all of it.
It's a total waste of human brain power. If you are genuinely interested in spacecraft, extra-terrestrials or secret projects, learn about the REAL work that is going on in these areas and not pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo pedalled by charlatans, nutters and the ignorant.
Of course, now and then there will be "sightings" that are unexplained - but only because the person who made the sighting wasn't in a position to positively understand what they actually saw. - either because they were mistaken, didn't get a decent view of what they saw or are idiots - the latter being the more usual explanation.

P.S. Eric - I don't know if you know but Vulcans, Mirages and Delta Daggers make a LOT of noise as do other recent black project aircraft.
If they are flying very, very high (over 50,000 feet) which some of those aircraft could - even in the mid 1950s, very little if any of their engine noise would make it to ground level.An SR-71 or U-2 flying at 70,000 feet would produce no noise to ground based observer.

So you clearly haven't looked into silent black triangles at all then if you know nothing about Belgium 1990?
I read a bit about Aurora and related stuff 20 odd years ago (when it was being discussed in mainstream aviation publications) but can't remember details of all the so called sitings. The one that does stick in my mind was the Macrahannish siting.RegMolehusband said:
You haven't looked into it at all - these fly at 100ft, silently.
Well, put me in the picture then. That's what these forums are about - discussing.Dates.
Times.
Locations.
Witnesses.
Tell me what you have read.
If they are genuine aircraft, why aren't they discussed in mainstream publications - such as Flight International or Aviation News?
Although I really hate the fact that this non-science ends up in the Science Forum.

DYOR Eric - it's all out there if you can be bothered to spend 20 minutes on the subject that you know nothing about but on which you already have a firm opinion.Dates.

There have been so many reports that are known to be a total crock. In the absence of any real evidence the chances of the relatively few unexplained reports from relatively credible people, entirely in line with works of fiction, not being a crock or known phenomenon must be impossibly low.Gassing Station | Science! | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
