I LOVE how everyone keeps claiming he knew flight paths. With all this flight path prediction how in the hell is it possible we have not one single photo. How is that possible? I've no problem snapping an impromptu photo while driving 75mph down the freeway of an unexpected and unidentified craft but we can't even get a single picture of one that has been predicted numerous times supposedly. When he's telling people expect it here... do they not t hink to take a picture? Even though we're all after proof? Not even a camera phone attempt?
I knew foreverman was blank, I called it out right away when be showed up, you could tell by thw way he wrote his posts.
Vela was the name of a group of satellites developed as the Vela Hotel element of Project Vela by the United States to monitor compliance with the 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty by the Soviet Union. Vela means "[it/he/she] watches over" in Spanish.
Vela started out as a small budget research program in 1959. It ended 26 years later as a successful, cost-effective military space system, which also provided scientific data on natural sources of space radiation.
The first Vela Hotel pair was launched on October 17, 1963, one week after the Partial Test Ban Treaty went into effect, and the last in 1965. They had a design life of six months, but were actually shut down after five years.
World war 2 and our first steps.
The UK and USA worked together on the Manhattan project - this needs no introduction. They also worked together on RADAR. One without the other would of been no use, but together at the same period of history? unique signatures of man kinds material and scientific development. 1947 was an explosive year, literally.
Why is this important? because of what came next.
During the active detonation testing phases of nuclear weapons, it was rationalised that this explosive force would make an ideal propulsion if it could be focused, directed if you will, to a beneficial use. The theory AND practical side of graphite ablation under the stress of a nuclear detonation was covered, fully understood and deemed highly effective. A lid was put on it tight. So the team approached those in power.
'We cannot be seen to be utilising a nuclear powered space craft inside of the earths atmosphere. The political storm from other nations under the flight path alone would close us down, the massed rioting and permanent presence at any test and evaluation centre of Soviet led agitators would preclude any and all further flights'.
'you want this hidden?'
'Hide what?'
The Conversation that started the entire effort of clandestine research and development of PROJECT GATEWAY.
PROJECT GATEWAY was the effort to develop and build a station outside of earths atmosphere. In the beginning we utilised high altitude balloons which carried aloft rockets to take a team and payload to orbit. It was our rationalisation that a constant flow of smaller launches high over the oceans would draw little or no attention to the project. We were correct.
Space habitat EDEN was completed.
ORION
We started small. A three man crew, 600 feet long, ablative disk and magnetic delivery system made 'up there'. What we couldn't produce ourselves we had delivered. A proof of concept vehicle. It was decided that we would take Orion to the dark side of the moon and detonate our first pulse in its shadow. Safety and secrecy dictated the need.
The prototype worked so well in testing that ORION SPRINT was green lit for us.
1800 yards long, 14 crew members, disk grown, milled, polished and perfected all off world. From her first to 33rd flight, she performed faultlessly.
Her 34th mission was a full speed sprint to the Oort cloud, and beyond. Away she went. Fully fuelled, fully equipped. 18 months she was gone.
ORION SPRINT exploration teams were born.
On Terra firma then, a project to create super heavy lift vehicles was frantically underway. So was disinformation and 'other projects' to muddy the waters. Well, not so much muddy but turn jet black with a hint of midnight at the edges. We understood clearly the price our nations would pay if this was found out by the Soviet Union and Chinese (you have to remember this was at the apex of the Cold war).

I just wish I can know... why over busy cities.

All over the internet, time and time again, little snippets fall like rain drops into the public pond. If you look carefully you can see that a (almost perfectly) sight avoiding VVVLO microwave energy vampire is maybe already in the skies above us - like some terrible nightmarish cuttlefish with all seeing eyes and terrible claws.

The aircraft in question that I related wouldn't have mattered if they got pictures of it, because it wouldn't have been anything but a light in the sky. It flies too high to get pictures of it, unless you catch it at take off or landing.

I think I have shown enough contrasting points

You know, in one obscure post, before everything went down, you know who does actually mention specifically what they are doing over cities in a one off throw away line that never gets addressed.
He said they were microwave energy vampires.
