Thanks for the wink.
Ghost rockets don't equal ET -anyway, right? Or ???
What Carrion got in the Bulls-Eye, imo, is the "saucers skipping like rocks on a pond" from Kennith Arnold. That's brilliant and has nothing to do with Ghost Rockets.
So, once again, consider the following:
What was going on with the flying
skipping saucers just weeks before Roswell too. Think about it! WHY did Kennith Arnold say the saucers skipped like a rock skipping across a pond of water???
Think about it some more now...
WHY are there ZERO reports of flying saucers doing that "skipping across water" today too!?!?!??? I mean, flying saucers haven't been skipping around for decades.
Answer: An outdated flying saucer "skipping technique" PSYOPS for the USSR to ponder about our weapons delivery capabilities. They were "obsessed" with that idea.
Actually his description was much much longer that the famous quote.
Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On June 24, 1947, Arnold was flying from
Chehalis, Washington to
Yakima, Washington in a
CallAir A-2 on a business trip. He made a brief detour after learning of a $5,000 reward for the discovery of a U.S. Marine Corps
C-46 transport airplane that had crashed near Mt. Rainier. The skies were completely clear and there was a mild wind.
A few minutes before 3:00 p.m. at about 9,200 feet (2,800 m) in altitude and near
Mineral, Washington, he gave up his search and started heading eastward towards Yakima. He saw a bright flashing light, similar to sunlight reflecting from a
mirror. Afraid he might be dangerously close to another aircraft, Arnold scanned the skies around him, but all he could see was a
DC-4 to his left and behind him, about 15 miles (24 km) away.
About 30 seconds after seeing the first flash of light, Arnold saw a series of bright flashes in the distance off to his left, or north of
Mt. Rainier, which was then 20 to 25 miles (40 km) away. He thought they might be reflections on his airplane's windows, but a few quick tests (rocking his airplane from side to side, removing his eyeglasses, later rolling down his side window) ruled this out. The reflections came from flying objects. They flew in a long chain, and Arnold for a moment considered they might be a flock of geese, but quickly ruled this out for a number of reasons, including the altitude, bright glint, and obviously very fast speed. He then thought they might be a new type of jet and started looking intently for a tail and was surprised that he couldn't find any.
They quickly approached Rainier and then passed in front, usually appearing dark in profile against the bright white snowfield covering Rainier, but occasionally still giving off bright light flashes as they flipped around erratically. Sometimes he said he could see them on edge, when they seemed so thin and flat they were practically invisible. According to
Jerome Clark,
[1][2] Arnold described them as a series of objects with convex shapes, though he later revealed that one object differed by being
crescent-shaped. Several years later, Arnold would state he likened their movement to saucers skipping on water, without comparing their actual shapes to saucers,
[3] but initial quotes from him do indeed have him comparing the shape to like a "saucer", "disc", "pie pan", or "half moon", or generally convex and thin (discussion below). At one point Arnold said they flew behind a subpeak of Rainier and briefly disappeared. Knowing his position and the position of the (unspecified) subpeak, Arnold placed their distance as they flew past Rainier at about 23 miles (37 km).
Using a
dzus cowling fastener as a gauge to compare the nine objects to the distant DC-4, Arnold estimated their angular size as slightly smaller than the DC-4, about the width between the outer engines (about 60 feet). Arnold also said he realized that the objects would have to be quite large to see any details at that distance and later, after comparing notes with a United Airlines crew that had a similar sighting 10 days later (see below), placed the absolute size as larger than a DC-4 airliner (or greater than 100 feet (30 m) in length). Army Air Force analysts would later estimate 140 to 280 feet (85 m), based on analysis of human
visual acuity and other sighting details (such as estimated distance).
Arnold said the objects were grouped together, as Ted Bloecher
[4] writes, "in a diagonally stepped-down,
echelon formation, stretched out over a distance that he later calculated to be five miles". Though moving on a more or less level horizontal plane, Arnold said the objects weaved from side to side ("like the tail of a Chinese kite" as he later stated), darting through the valleys and around the smaller mountain peaks. They would occasionally flip or bank on their edges in unison as they turned or maneuvered causing almost blindingly bright or mirror-like flashes of light. The encounter gave him an "eerie feeling", but Arnold suspected he had seen test flights of a new U.S. military aircraft.
As the objects passed Mt Rainer, Arnold turned his plane southward on a more or less parallel course. It was at this point that he opened his side window and began observing the objects unobstructed by any glass that might have produced reflections. The objects did not disappear and continued to move very rapidly southward, continuously moving forward of his position. Curious about their speed, he began to time their rate of passage: he said they moved from Mt. Rainer to
Mount Adams where they faded from view, a distance of about 50 miles (80 km), in one minute and forty-two seconds, according to the clock on his instrument panel. When he later had time to do the calculation, the speed was over 1,700 miles per hour (2,700 km/h). This was about three times faster than any manned aircraft in 1947. Not knowing exactly the distance where the objects faded from view, Arnold conservatively and arbitrarily rounded this down to 1,200 miles (1,900 km) an hour, still faster than any known aircraft, which had yet to break the
sound barrier. It was this
supersonic speed in addition to the unusual saucer or disk description that seemed to capture people's attention.
