You’ve made an error:

Note my words in the above comment: “human technology.” Not human beings. I made no comments about flesh-and-blood humans being seen operating Saucers/UFOs.

Your reply, however, shows that this is how you wrongly interpreted my reply.

I still maintain that “human technology” as per my comment is involved - with RPVs, UAVs etc. But, of course, a UAV/RPV doesn’t require humans to be aboard them though - only that someone has the ability to control the device remotely.

As for the Contactee cases that you and not I bring up: surely you realize that they have more to do with just the 1950s incarnations of an unknown presence that has been with us for aeons, and that has variously manifested throughout the centuries to the human race as demons, angels, gods, fairies, goblins, Grays, Blondes, etc, etc.

All such imagery is deceitful to hide the real identity; and the whole goal is manipulation and exploitation. It has nothing (in my view at least) to do with literal human-looking UFO pilots.

Re the Windermere sightings: yeah, I know about them. As you may know, I run the US Office of Jon Downes Center for Fortean Zoology and the group has already done a couple of on-site studies. The working theory is that some of these are giant eels.

So, I tell you what, let’s me and you go round to BoyintheMachine/Jason’s place when he least expects it, and you can have endless childish fun buzzing his house with your cheap and wobbly remote controlled flying saucer/’toy model helicopter’, and I’ll use my remote-controlled ‘Loch Ness Monster’ to terrify the livin’ crap out of the ducks in his pond!

p.s.

Given his slightly overwrought reaction, is Jason’s surname by any chance Vorhees?

The only case involving a human seen operating a UFO. (excluding contactee claims)

The Oklahoma UFO Landing:

Good point.

Jason:

My joking above aside, the fact is that human technology is undoubtedly advanced enough for some UFOs to be considered as man-made vehicles. I don’t of course mean this rocky, wobbly thing in the film.

Check out Greg’s Project Beta that delves into this area.

Also, check out next month’s UFO Magazine, where my regular “View from a Brit” article focuses on a story involving what was almost certainly a man-made UFO that nearly collided with a British airliner, and which the authorities were happy (and very relieved too) to pass off as a “UFO.”

Believe me, it takes very little to successfully entertain my mind! And cheap novelty saucers wobbling around the sky will certainly work.

None of the two videos involve any novel take on the science of flight and are in fact simple, and cheap, toy-model helicopters. Did I mention how cheap they are?

Wow, make a toy helicopter look vaguely similiar to a ‘flying saucer’ and sit back and hear the ‘Ooohs’ and ‘Ahhhhs’ roll in.

Although, if I was 9 years old again, I’m sure I’de be begging Ma & Pa for one.
