Weird California sighting

Yes. And very few people believed me then. Lol.

You want rabbit holes, come to Aviation. We've got some wild ones.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Oh god! Tell me about it.

a reply to: Sammamishman

You wuss. You should go down some of the others.

Very long-time lurker here. Thanks for keeping this going. Fun trip down the rabbit hole, and this subject is one of my favorite topics.

Why are they up there? I assume that they are not big/thick enough to travel between like modules on the space station and that they are not even able to be connected to each other in that way so, they're just...chillin' up there?

And, going back to one of your first posts, what do you mean by "the destination"? That sounds more like a monitoring thing or a...I dunno...a dimensional thing.

Each triangle connects to the other. Like lego as I explained before. Four triangles attach to the square vehicle that forms the docking connect. Four more make the other 'wing'. So you have a massive chevron.

Up they go.

Four chevrons to a habitat, wink out of sight.

Work, rest, play, watch. Permanent.

Super massives as I said before, nose down, active defences on, blinks out and sits there. Looking and transmitting over the dark side of the globe. Watching, waiting, recording, transmitting.

Destination.

Destination...well, lets just say that for a super bouyant, easily transported, massive capability for payload weight, we have a whole set of work for it to carry out.

Doesnt work in a zero atmosphere environment. All else? Good to go.

2 questions...
1) Does this "quiet boom technology" help to reduce much of the fluid friction and turbulence between the crafts meeting up, or are they so high up in the atmosphere that turbulence would not be a factor? If so, would they be looking to incorporate this technology in the refueling planes to make the whole operation much safer?

2) Does the center square of the craft have anything to do with the Calvine UFO picture that Nick Pope spoke about in his AMA here? www.nickpope.net... The craft he had a pic of was said to be diamond shape, could that jsut be from a perspective shot on a square craft?

I saw the same thing around 11:30 in the Richmond va area. Just found this thread and joined to speak up.

1) The technology makes a failsafe join between vehicles. The feathering of the skin once joined makes a solid connection. Think super high tech Velcro made of graphene. When near, each craft reaches out to the next utilising the very same system that creates the rock steady hover.

2) Nick Popes photo was of an escape pod. It has all the ability of a triangle just a shorter battery only operation and limited fuel for the powerplant.

was and is a pure diamond. 4 seats.

if it uses any kind of fuel for a propellant it is outdated junk.

I missed you post before your edit, so it is possible I misses something... I can accept the idea that that these craft have the technology to keep a solid connection, I just can't wrap my head around how they would be able to get close enough to each other to mate when flying. So they just both go into their super stable hover and inch close enough to mate... Can you/ would you care to elaborate on how the system works?

So is the craft from the Pope picture in the triangle craft's family tree?

Its the same mechanism at work that stops them crushing people with pressure as they fly low over head. You are assuming they are a solid object all of the time. They are not as I have said before.

Think of magnets (there are not but its a good analogy). Nose is positive wing point is negative. On triangle two they have that reversed. There is a powerful attractive mechanism at work. Guided in, locked tight, feathered up, solid secure crew attach airlock, walk across. Repeat rinse then walk to the square docking ship.

No drama, very safe, very secure.

Point me in the right direction and I'll jump right in.

hey Astro found something that supports your modular, connecting frame. I found it very interesting in this CSR Report it says regarding the acquisition of the new long range bombers,

it is not yet clear whether the proposed Long Range Strike Bomber (LRS-B) is to be a single platform or a group of smaller systems working in concert.

Here is link to the report, its a great read!
fas.org...

some key points
* projected LRS-B budget increases more than 10-fold in the current Future Years Defense Program, from $258.7 million in FY2013 to $3,451.2 million in FY2019
* it will initially be deployed as a manned aircraft, LRS-B could eventually become optionally manned,
* The Air Force has pegged the new bomber's price tag at $550 million each, excluding development

Hey zaph...

what book do you recommend reading?

I ask you cos you are imho one of the most awesome ATS members ever....

i wanna understand as much as i can... so what book do you recommend reading in regards to a massive unknown truth out there!?

a reply to: combatmaster

I can't speak for Zaph , or about any book for that matter, but I can recommend reading every post Astr0 has made and make your own decision on the enigmatic/mysterious/un-explained out there.

a reply to: combatmaster

Honestly most of the ones I read are more historical, like Skunk Works. Great read that.

Your best bet is going through posts on here, Intelgurl when she was around, Astr0, boomer, etc. There's a lot on here that if you can put the pieces together, and navigate the rabbit hole will really change the way you look at things.

a reply to: lambchop

There will be at least one other aircraft involved. It will go ahead of the bomber and is testing now as well.

Just have to chime in as a long time lurker, and occasional poster. This post is perhaps the most awesome read I've seen since before I joined ATS. I came here because I was naive and found the Titor stories incredible, but have since learned to try to separate fact from fiction. This is the first thread since the old Titor days that has me stupified.

I MIGHT be able to get more in the next week or so. I'll update as I get more.
