Check them out.

Both these papers are quite interesting. I have heard of the ghostplane/”phantom fliers” phenomenon .Martin Caidin touches on this in “Ghosts of the Air”, as does another writer whose name I can’t recall at the moment in a paperback titled “Scare Force” (rather than “Air Force”). There was also a Brit who did a series of books years ago that covered most of England with regard to haunted airfields and crash sites. The numbers of ghost…but very real looking…Wellingtons, Lancasters, Flying Fortresses,Liberators, Halifaxes,
Dorniers, Ju-88s, Heinkels, Spitfires, Hurricanes, BF-109 Messerschmitts, and others is quite extraordinary. The countryside around where these old, shut-down RAF and US 8th Air Force
air fields are full of stories about these old silent fliers (not a whisper of sound where the drone of radial piston engines should be loud and clear…or erratic, and cutting out with engine failure). At some of the old bases disappearing flight crews…clad in the uniforms of the Second World War…have been seen out on the tarmac, headed for now-abandoned HQ buildings…presumably for “de-breifing”.
And that’s just the UK. On the continent the same things happen…and often the ghostplanes there are of “Great War” vintage: Spads, Nieuports, Albatrosses,
Fokkers, Camels, SE-5s, Handley-Pages, and so forth.
So UFOs are not the only things that fill the skies (or the grounds of crumbling old aerodrones) at night.
Good paper, indeed. And I love this creepy stuff. really gets the blood circulating!!!!!!
Also found the second monograph a real hoot as well (A hoot….some o’that Texas talking, huh? Naah…its SOUTHERN talking…part of the Dixie lexicon…which INCLUDES Texans!).
I find it a scream that “Science” and “Scientists” have been throwing off all this methane will-o-the-wisp B.S. for nigh on to “forever” now…and getting away with it…because nobody has ever really set down and tried to replicate the CLAIMED conditions that “THEY SAY” produce the phenomena.
Now someone sets out to use the “scientific method” to replicate and verify such “well-established facts”, and the “facts” don’t replicate,
or “establish” all that well! I love it!!! Add that to all the scandals where “scientists” are caught faking test results to bend them towards their own agendas and you have to wonder why we should listen to these people about much of anything.

Bill
You would probably enjoy Dave C’s “Supernatural Peak District” book which is chocked full of good, British folklore-driven tales of high weirdness.
Thanks for the “hoot” correction - you saw my other post elsewhere! LOL

Bill I think Nick posted these new articles because one Brit is quoted with “Crikey!” which, of course, immediately dismisses the reliability of his testimony. haha.
Nick the BBC news (which I listen to almost daily on http://kfai.org) never ceases to surprise me with the strange vernacular….
Off to search for a purple tentacled alien goddess for a night of seduction.

Drew;
Crikey!!!!! Do you think that’s it??
God luck with your search for a purple-tentacled goddess. Just stay away from the chupacabras hotties or Nick will blow a gasket.
