Phelps' letter certainly could...Rhodomontade -<br /><br />Phelps' letter certainly could have been written by a man who wanted nothing to do with UFOs, but that doesn't change the tone that is filled with contradictions.<br /><br />Where did you get the idea of a giant balloon landing in the street? If it was a weather balloon, it would have been some 20 feet in diameter when inflated, but when found in the woods was little more than a large piece of rubber. Why would anyone walk out in the woods to look at it? Why would there be crowds? Why would the Army recover it?<br /><br />I thought I had made it clear that I believe the answer for this is something terrestrial rather than alien, but that the limited information suggests that maybe we ought to take a longer look at it. I find the answer provided to be unsatisfactory and would like some additional information. If I lived in that area, or planned to visit it soon, would see what I could find (realizing that this was some 60 years ago.)KRandlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333125414889883920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-47662152974427661332014-05-19T02:08:54.327-07:002014-05-19T02:08:54.327-07:00"Phelps’ letter makes little sense and is fil..."Phelps’ letter makes little sense and is filled with contradictions..."<br /><br />Phelps' letter sounds like someone with no interest in UFOs, someone who is perhaps leery of writing to and corresponding at length with people who want to turn a balloon into an extraterrestrial spacecraft through wishful thinking. <br /><br /><br />"He never explains why the crowds were drawn to the area, which they wouldn’t be for a weather balloon."<br /><br />This is a ludicrous assertion about how people are SUPPOSED to act, based entirely on the blogger's own innate biases. If a giant balloon fell out of the sky on your street, would people just ignore it? No, of course not. This is a willfully delusional statement.<br /><br /><br />"I can’t think of a situation in which a fallen weather balloon would draw a crowd..."<br /><br />Again, Mr. Randle, let me help you out: Small town America in the late 40s/early 50s, nothing to do, something crashes in the woods ... Are you seriously so incpable of imagining a situation where that would draw a crowd?<br /><br />Shame on you for propagating mythology around a clearly explained, mundane event.Major Zedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05764992819617546559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-90516481707596739662014-05-12T22:23:52.012-07:002014-05-12T22:23:52.012-07:00wow...no comments.
Well, I seem to recall Keyhoe...wow...no comments.<br /><br /><br />Well, I seem to recall Keyhoe briefly going into this one, then buying into the balloon story.<br /><br />If I remember correctly, another case at roughly the same time, but in New Hampshire, might relate.<br /><br />It was one that stood out. <br /><br />A rectangular object descending at at/roughly 60 degrees, seen from a plane.<br /><br />By logic alone, it either impacted, or veered off at the last second, out of view.<br /><br />Either one of interest.<br /><br />Does anyone know the case of which I refer?Bob Kofordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739226809252915992noreply@blogger.com
