The source of the following material is the May 11, 1992 AVIATION WEEK & SPACE TECHNOLOGY pp 62, 63 - "New Evidence Bolsters Reports of Secret High-Speed Aircraft" by William R. Scott. (Wasn't the poster of the material on this plane also named Scott?) (This article predates Landers quake) "Evidence of a high-speed, high-altitude classified aircraft powered by an advanced propulsion system continues to grow, despite U.S. Air Force claims that no such aircraft are being acquired by the service. "Photographs taken over Amarillo, Tex., of contrails produced by a 'pulser' aircraft show the distinctive 'donuts on a string' pattern previously reported by observers in California and Colorado. The contrails are consistent with exhaust characteristics of several advanced propulsion concepts, such as a pulse detonation wave engine (PWDE). "Sightings of high-speed 'pulser' vehicles that leave either this pattern or a segmented, 'sausage-link' contrail have been reported for about three years, but Pentagon officials continue to say they have no knowledge of such an aircraft. Countering that position, a senior Air Force officer who recently addressed civic leaders in California hinted that Peale AFB will be assigned a new 'flight' or mission within the next two years. Funding requests now being drafted by Air Force headquarters for facility construction at Peale would appear consistent with a new mission. P/ "Unknown aircraft having pulse-type engines were seen at Peale in late February, but were believed to be transients. (Anybody, WHAT is a "transient? beth) "The Texas contrails were photographed on Mar. 23 at 8:30 AM after the aircraft had crossed Amarillo at high speed on a southeasterly heading. Although the sky was clear and visibility unlimited, the vehicle was out of sight before Steven A. Doublass, the photographer, could spot it. He described its engine noise as a 'strange, loud pulsating roar...unique...a deep pulsating rumble that vibrated the house and made the windows vibrate." > "The powerplant produced a continuous series of short low-frequency pulses of uniform duration. Douglass said its sound was 'similar to rocket engine noise, but deeper, with evenly timed pulses.' P/ "Douglass also is a radio PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 10/04/92 2:40 AM hobbyist who publishes 'Intercepts' a monthly newsletter about military radio monitoring. As a result, he owns equipment capable of scanning ultra-high frequencies used by U.S. Air Force aircraft. P/ "After the vehicle passed Amarillo, Douglass detected digitally encrypted speech on 288 MHz., a narrow-band military frequency used as a downlink by USAF communications satellites. The only traffic previously monitored on this frequency occurred during the gulf war, suggesting that the channel is reserved for special missions." P/ "Two North American Air Defense Command frequencies (260.8 MHz. and 364.2 MHz) also were active at the time. The primary MORAD frequency (260.8 MHz) is the airborne intercept command channel for the Southwest U.S. region. Air-to-air communications on that channel were between an AWACS aircraft with the call sign 'Dragnet 51' from Tinker AFR, Okla., and two unknown aircraft using the call signs 'Darkstar November' and 'Darkstar Mike'. Messages consisted of phonetically transmitted alphanumerics NEXT PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 10/04/92 2:44 AM HOMELIFE TOPIC: HOBBIES TIME: 10/03 9:04 PM TO: ALL FROM: BETH HUGHES (CPTG05A) SUBJECT: EARTHQUAKE MAN MADE CONTINUED MATERIAL FROM "AVIATION WEEK AND SPACE TECHNOLOGY" May 11, 1992 pp 62, 63: "New Evidence Bolsters Reports of Secret High-Speed Aircraft" by William R. Scott. "It is not known whether this radio traffic had any association with the 'pulser' that had just flown over Amarillo. P/ "On Apr. 5 (a Sunday) and Apr. 22, radio hobbyists in Southern California monitored transmissions between Edwards' AFB's radar control facility (Joshua Control) and a high altitude aircraft using the call sign 'Gaspipe.' The series of radio calls occurred at approximately 6 a.m. local time on both dates. "Controllers were directing the unknown Gaspipe aircraft to a runway at Edwards, using advisories similar to those given space shuttle crews during a landing approach. The monitors recorded two advisories, both transmitted by Joshua Control to Gaspipe; 'You're at 67,000, 81 mi out,' and Seventy mi. out, 36,000. Above glideslope.' "The first transmission implied Gaspipe was a special- -mission aircraft flying at 67,000 ft., well above a 50,000 ft. limit observed by pilots of modern military aircraft such as the F-15, F-16 and F/A-18. When flying above 50,000 ft., USAF crews typically wear pressure suits as protection against adverse physiological effects related to low atmospheric pressure. Crews routinely flying high-altitude aircraft such as the U-2/TB-1 and the SB-71 above 50,000 ft always wear full pressure suits. "When AVIATION WEEK & SPACE TECHNOLOGY queried Edwards AFB and Pentagon officials last week about the Gaspipe communications, they said Joshua Control's documents contain no record of controllers having 'worked' an aircraft with such a call sign on those dates. They also confirmed that no U-2/TB-1 or NASA-operated SB-71s were controlled at those times. P/ "Data from the Texas and Edwards AFB observations are augmented by multiple reports of at least five low-pitched, rumbling sonic booms heard by residents in the Los Angeles area over the past year. (AW&ST Nov. 15,1991 p.23; Nov. 11, 1991 p.15) Initially these were thought to be mild earthquakes. On Apr. 16 about 7 a.m. two shocks were detected approximately 2 min apart -- a now-standard pattern consistent with two aircraft flying with slightly different tracks. So far, all the Los Angeles-area booms have been heard on Thursday mornings between 6 and 8:30 a.m. "The U.S. Geological Survey's earthquake monitoring system has recorded five sets of the distinctive shock waves PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 10/04/92 2:44 AM as they rolled over Southern California, and confirmed they were not earthquakes. James J. Mori, a USGS seismologist, plotted time-of-arrival data from the activated sensors and compared them to patterns produced by the space shuttle and SB-7a. P/ "These reference shock-data were derived from a shuttle orbiter as it descended supersonically towards Edwards AFB, and from the SB-71 during its 1990 trans- continental speed record flight. The data provided an approximate speed/altitude calibration of the USGS sensor array. Based on those benchmarks, Mori estimated the unknown aircraft's speed at 'several times the speed of sound,' possibly as high as Mach 3. P/ "Separately, during the last seven months, a small team of observers in southern California logged at least 30 sonic booms believed to be produced by the same unknown aircraft type that periodically triggered the USGS sensors. Because its 'boom' and subsequent engine sound was quite distinctive, observers claim they could easily distinguish the 'pulser' from NEXT ********************************************************************* * -------->>> THE U.F.O.
