And yeah...good read.
Certain authors, like Herbert, and A.C. Clarke, if their work is read with this possible knowledge in mind, indicate a certain "insider" knowledge... or really specific imaginations!

Yeah thanks for understanding why I didn't bother to get a picture of it. He may have also told others as for when to look and that it worked out for them too. But I'm the more commonly associated guy with the story of him telling a member when to see it again. I had a thread going at the time dealing with a sighting I had had of the craft that he chimed in on and introduced himself to me. Made a prediction and within a day at the right time I saw it again like he said I would. It goes deeper than that but thats the general outline of what had happened.
But see my explanation below for my general reasons for not getting a photograph.
It's a misconception that when you see something very out of the ordinary you immediately think to take a picture. Nope, nope and more nope. The thought doesn't even cross your mind. All you want to do, are compelled to do, is just stare and absorb all you can about what you are seeing. You don't want to take your eyes off of it, because you are seeing something amazing. To me I would be a real douche if instead of staring in awe at this thing giving it every ounce of my attention I went. Wait, wait let me get my iPhone out and take a selfie with it. How detached from the situation would I have to have been to opt for that.
Besides it was stunning literally when I saw it the second time. It was that fascinating to see. Fast, silent, beautiful.
Also, did I mention she's fast, too fast to get a camera up to take a shot. I would have needed a camera sitting there on a tripod with ultra high frames per second to get a decent shot. I'm not the kinda guy to take the time to do that.
Finally, I don't believe one should take pictures of the thing. It's a classified military device, not a sasquatch. We don't need pictures of it out there on the internet...period. That's like a A hole move to do something like that when it could compromise the safety or mission of the US Military.
I am fond of those folks and don't want to ruin a very good thing they have going with this type of tech. A very good thing.
I personally belive they were doing a demo of the crafts capabilities to a few folks that make decisions regarding military funding and contracts. Senators, Chairmen, Others with budget approval ability. The pitch probably went like this. "Too old and cranky to go to Edwards cause it's far away? Don't like Deserts? Don't have the time to venture way out into nowhere to see this thing? Well, no worries then!!! We'll bring the show to YOU! Ho Bout you all go somewhere safe to get together...Like the Federal Building. It's got FBI other alphabet soup agencies, and it's a tall building. Get those guys up on the roof and we'll give them a demo they'll never believe with out seeing!!!!!" Does flyby, everybody applauds. " So uh Mr. Senator do we get the contract now or what?"
It can circumvent all radar. With all impunity.
Probably doesn't photograph well.
Maybe it can cloak it's self optically when it wants to, and it only uncloaked long enough to give folks a glimpse that it had indeed been there buzzing around.
Maybe it has a very advanced cloaking system and unless there is something wrong with your senses (sick, injury etc - I had a serious ear and sinus thing going on at the time) it will cause 99% of the people to NOT see it. Even if they were trying. And what better way to prove it then by flying low right over the heads of 14 Million + people.

It was going too fast for people to notice unless they were looking right at it. I initially got lucky...

There were people around when I saw it on all occasions and not one of them noticed. Not even dogs.

...If I had to guess, I'd say that behind that blue wall is an infinity of more blue walls... OR a high school lab running a simulation.
I'm open to the black triangle stuff. Pretty sure they exist,
not so sure what they are.
I do feel the need to give BASSPLYR a sincere big thumbs up.
Because he has bravely stood UP--pretty much singularly it seems--and hasn't been a no-show or hem-haw'er.
I'm also pretty feisty about hoaxers and folk that would confuse and manipulate others, and so much of what we've heard is disturbing no matter which side of the the forevermen issue one finds themselves on.
The mythology/story/tale is obviously important to whatever it was about.
You "forevermen" lurking here, should be TICKED OFF imo.
and like most things,
the system gets wind of it
and decides to "do it better"
an example
There might even be a forum full of people including ATS members (past and present ) posting similar stuff (but slightly ahead in terms of plot development) that might use such a story as an orchestrated effort to grab some members in the process of having a laugh?

Surely it is possible to support this member's honesty, without judging others here who haven't said more. I hardly think that's fair, especially full well knowing what can happen when one starts talking about this more.
