Comments on: A Ufological Anniversary http://www.ufomystic.com/2006/12/13/a-ufological-anniversary/ UFO News, Views, and More Sat, 13 Mar 2010 00:38:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Nick Redfern http://www.ufomystic.com/2006/12/13/a-ufological-anniversary/#comment-19 Nick Redfern Wed, 13 Dec 2006 23:18:23 +0000 http://www.ufomystic.com/the-redfern-files/a-ufological-anniversary/#comment-19 Alan That's a very cool report - and extremely interesting. As you may know, a lot of reports have surfaced in the last decade or two of large, black triangular shaped UFOs - in the UK, Belgium, and the US. The reports from pre-1980 are less in number than those of today, but reports such as yours are beginning to show that the "Flying Triangles" (as they have come to be known) are not a new phenomenon. The biggest question is: are we flying them or do they belong to "someone else?" Cheers, Nick R. Alan

At first I couldn't quite pinpoint the source of this sensation, but after looking all around me it suddenly occurred to me to look up at what was a perfectly still, cloudless sky, at which point I found myself looking directly up at a dull black triangular shape hanging at, at most, a few hundred feet in the air directly overhead. The sensation of being watched by this object immediately grew, if anything more intense, and at first I tried to convince myself it was the first real life helicopter I'd seen, caught in the act of filming us. Yet I instantly knew there was a number of things wrong with this idea: first, the flat triangular shape was all wrong; second, it was making no noise whatsoever; third, instead of having a helicopter-like undercarriage, the only thing visible was what resembled a thick dull silvery metal ring surrounding a large darkly reflective 'lense', an object of sufficient size to all but touch each of the triangle's three sides; fourth, there was what appeared to be a wild variety of elaborately and intricately shaped 'old fashioned' radio or tv 'aerials' poking out from all three sides, none of which looked even remotely like a helicopter's tail or in the slightest aerodynamically sound. Because of the 'aerials' and the 'space capsule door'-like 'lense', I decided what I might be looking was some sort of satellite, maybe even a genuine sputnik, and immediately drew everyone else's attention to it in the hope one of them at least'd be able to identify what it really was for me. However, after more than half-an-hour of the lot of us being utterly unable to take our eyes off it, I was forced to publicly admit it couldn't be a satellite, because satellites moved in unceasing orbits, whereas this thing hadn't moved off the spot even slightly; adding, even if was some sort of experimental soundless helicopter, surely it would've had to've adjusted its position in the air even if only ever so slightly. Eventually, we all decided to go and get something to eat, and see if it was still there when we got back, but by the time we'd returned, later that afternoon, it'd vanished.

The biggest problem that I've found is in trying to find who, exactly, is hiding the really "good" data. Whoever they are, they seem to be buried incredibly well in the official world.
