The object � 퀂eemed to be moving along the northern boundary of the San � 쿒abnel Mountains on an eastwest trajectory. The object has � 쿫een seen "quite frequently within the last 10 months," � 쿓amilton said. � � � � Hamilton cited a news report of a United Airlines 747 � 쿷umbo jet that nearly collided with a mysterious, wingless � 쿬raft on August 5. Aviation Week & Space Technology, in its � 쿌ugust 24 issue described the encounter this way: � � � � "The pilot and copilot of United flight 934, with a heavy � 쿾assenger load from Los Angeles to London, said they saw an � 퀅nusual aircraft coming directly at them and pass under the � �747 by an estimated 500-1,000 feet. The incident occurred � 쿻ear George AFB at about 1:45 p.m. on August 5. The 747 was � 쿪t 23,000 ft. departing from Los Angeles International � 쿌irport on a heading of about 40 deg. magnetic . . . � � � � "The several-second sighting gave the crew the impression � 퀃hat the other aircraft was a lifting-body configuration, � 쿪nd they described it as looking like the forward fuselage � 쿽f a Lockheed SR-71--without wings but with a tail of sorts.� 쿟hey estimated the size as similar to an F-16. � � � �* Hints of Secrets � � � � "Defense Dept. and Air Force officials said late last � 퀇eek that it was not one of their secret projects," the � 쿌vWeek article continued. " 'But we're not the only ones � 퀇ith strange projects,' he added, referring to the CIA and � 쿽ther organizations [our emphasis]." Was this an inadvertent� 퀃ip-off of secret tests of alien technology conducted by � 퀂hadowy ultra-secret government agencies outside the regular� 쿺ilitary? � � � � Hamilton also said there were "one or two reports of big � 쿫oomerangs being sighted in the Lancaster area" of a type � 퀂een frequently over upstate New York and Belgium, some of � 퀇hich witnesses estimated to be 2-3 football fields in span.� 쿓e said it was significant that the sightings took place in � 쿪nd around airspace controlled by the military, at Edwards � 쿌FB and George AFB, as well as an FAA facility for the Los � 쿌ngeles area near Palmdale and other aerospace facilities. � 쿥hen asked about the boomerangs, authorities "just deny � 쿸nowing anything about it," Hamilton said. � � � � Hamilton said that last summer, when there was heavy � 퀂ighting activity in Antelope Valley, he called the Public � 쿌ffairs officer at Edwards AFB. "He didn't dispute it, but � 퀂aid there was a lot of secret projects in the valley," � 쿓amilton said. "He told me he wanted to take some fast film � 쿪nd see it himself." The FAA denied any radar contact, � 쿓amilton said. � � � �* Discs and Boomerangs � � � � Hamilton said that on several occasions in the last two � 퀉ears there were suspicious sightings near "skunk works," or� 퀃op-secret research and development facilities in the � 퀆alley. He said that at a Northrop facility, witnesses saw a� �"disc hovering directly over the facility in broad daylight,� 퀂treaking off toward the mountains. � � � � "Back in October 26, 1988, witnesses saw two large � 쿫oomerangs escorted by about 17 discs in formation, at very � 퀂low speed, that flew over the Northrop facility, and was � 퀂een that night in Fresno. A friend who saw it pass directly� 쿽verhead estimated it was twice the width of his property, � 퀇hich was 330 feet wide," Hamilton said. � � � �=END= � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 ********************************************************************* * -------->>> THE U.F.O.
