- I'm sure most of you are aware that the Air Force released information about
- the new Stealth bomber yesterday. Based on the information they presented,
- one could suggest that some (many?) of the UFO sightings in the Hudson Valley
- (again, Kudos to Phil I. for the excellent documentation on the subject)
- could, in fact, be Stealth sightings.
-
- Most interesting is the shape of the bomber -- it is a flying wing. You
- could, without streching things, call it a flying boomerang. The design does
- remind one of the UFOs observed.
-
- This message is not an argument that the sightings in the Hudson Valley were,
- in fact, Stealth sightings. I'm just pointing out some parallels...

- Hi! Have been follwing this forum for a few months and have read most of the
- available info in Dl and many of the books discussed. Living in Central MA I
- had hoped to be hearing of the sightings or some other activity moving up this
- way. Did the Air Force release any info on the capabilities of the Stealth
- Bomber in question? I must admit that if this could be an explanation, I'm
- really disappointed. Had hoped for something more... ceslestial(?).

- Not much. They claim that they will have the first units delivered later on,
- although, clearly, they've have prototypes since one of them has already
- crashed...
-
- If this is the explanation, there's a lot of facts that have to be explained
- away that don't readily fit in. (Like the hovering and strange reversal of
- course)....

- There was a piece on All Things Considered today suggesting that this whole
- story was part of an Air Force disinformation campaign. The suggestion was
- the the stealth plane acutally looks more like the Revelle model than the
- drawing that the Air Force showed.

- It would seem odd that they showed what was, at best, an "artist's impression"
- of the plane. If they're that near to delivery, then they should have very
- good computerized drawings of the plane, not to mention scale models.
-
- You raise an interesting point!

- Maybe the reason they only released a vague sketch is that they don't intend
- to let anyone get a close look at it, for as long as it can be avoided,
- because details of its shape are so critical to stealth technology, and we may
- be ahead of "the other side" in this technology.
-
- This would mean that the Hudson Valley boomerang could not be a stealth
- bomber. Another reason for its not being a stealth bomber is that a populated
- area like that would be a poor choice for conducting flight tests.
-
- Arguing against this line of reasoning is the fact that spy satellites could
- easily resolve the shape as soon as one flies

- At least one has flown, insofar as at least one has already crashed.
-
- I agree completely about Westchester being inappropriate for flight tests. It
- would be unlikely that they would do so. On the other hand, one could argue
- that it is at least equally unlikely that UFOs are the cause of all sightings,
- too.

- I've just been reading Phil's update in file NIGHT, in which he gives numerous
- descriptions of the flight characteristics, size, and look of this boomerang
- affair. (I'm still trying to cover the current literature in this UFO scene,
- after having given up following it, in frustration, several years ago. I
- haven't read _Night Siege_ yet.) You know, there's no point trying to make
- the stealth bomber explain what people are reporting. It's an aircraft after
- all, and it's not going to hover over people's houses and shine down strange
- lights. Furthermore, this activity has apparently been going on for years
- now. Could the stealth bomber have been undergoing flight tests all that
- time, in a populated area no less, with the Air Force only now releasing a
- sketch of it?

- It would seem unlikely. Almost as unlikely, one is tempted to say, as it all
- being caused by extraterrestial beings.

- THE THOUGHT ENTERED OUR MIND IF SOME OF THE SIGHTINGS WERE CAUSED BY HIGH
- ALTITUDE STEALTH OPERATIONS. I DOUBT IT! IT DOES NOT SEEM LOGICAL THAT OUR
- GOVERMENT WOULD EXPERIMENT IN SUCH A DENSELEY POPOULATED AREA. ALSO THE AIR
- TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA IS HEAVY. ALSO MANY OF THE SIGHTINGS OF THE HVUFO WERE AT
- LOW ALTITUDE.
