  • Here Goes! 

  • Oh well! Maybe not!!

  • I did see something like those white balloons in front and behind of a helicopter which was flying very low. The 'balloons' were travelling in the same direction as the helicopter and not in the same direction as the wind. Suddenly one 'balloon' shot of at right angles at a high speed of knots. I was so intringued and rang the local RAF base to see if the pilot had reported anything. Air Traffic said that as the pilot was flying low level it wasn't under their control.  the next day the station commander rang me to ask what I'd seen but never heard anything more. He didn't treat me like a batty woman.

    Has anyone else seen something they couldn't explain? when they were sober that is. image

  • 614 mph decent! How can a human body deal with that?

    Dean, a friend tried to explain that to me. here's what he said!

    Since the air is so thin 23 miles up there, he will actually be "Slowing Down", decending to a comfortable 118 MPH, from the 700 MPH supersonic free fall speed, from "whenced " he bailed out! image lets see here: traveling 700miles/hr= falling 23 miles, in like... less then 3 minutes! Fortunately, since there is no air to carry sound, for the 1st half of his fall.. .we won't be hearing him screaming, for the first 90 seconds

    Yes, I have. There are things that are hard to explain. But they are only a problem if you feel that you need to explain them to other people, who were not in on the original, and so can't understand what you're talking about. Don't worry about it. If they missed something, it's their problem, not yours.

    Not the answer you were after, but it amused me. image

    Well many years ago I saw what looked like a huge brown cigar shaped thing, looked funnily fuzzy and slightly out of focus. One end of it had a flashing White light. That light then went constant, then went off. Out of the other end, 5 or 6 small red lights shot out, and skittered around. Then the White light in the main big thing started flashing again, the little red lights all zoomed back into it, the White light went off and the whole thing whizzed off.

    I was probably 18 years old....and sober!
