Ok, so I just watched Fact or Faked and they were discussing the El Paso UFO...
abcnews.go.com...
So, they tried as always to recreate whatever the mystery was, and honestly, they did do a pretty good job with the night jump and flares. Now to my
point, as a skydiver with 1300 jumps, many of them at night, I haven't seen anything about someone doing a check for aircraft that might have done a
night jump in El Paso that night. I mean look at the facts...you have a time, a place and witnesses. All aircraft have to file a NOTAM prior to
getting in the plane and leaving the ground (especially these days)...Skydivers doing a night jump would have had a NOTAM (Notice to Airman) filed by
their pilot, and all of that is on file. Did anybody check the obvious?
Also, some of the video that Fact or Faked showed (in particular the skydivers leaving the aircraft) was faked. Those were skydivers with the Army
Parachute Team (I went to the Army Team in 87) and those were left door exits from a Fokker C-31A Troopship (Has exit doors on both sides)...The
skydivers at Elsinore in Southern California were jumping a Twin Otter (one exit door on the right. If you're going to paste in video not directly
related to state your case, it's kind of hard to take them seriously.
