It could be possible the object and the helicopter flight were unrelated events and linked only in the minds of the witnesses. <br /><br />Just another item for the things to ponder pile . . . <br />purrlgurrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519835482606629362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071963771262525979.post-4591978510130023702014-03-31T13:08:53.501-05:002014-03-31T13:08:53.501-05:00You have a good point, and at least one top-notch ...You have a good point, and at least one top-notch aviation historian agrees with you. I sent some material to Curtis Peebles and he made similar comments, also mentioning that a hot air balloon could account for some of the other sensory details reported, the flamethrower sound and the scent of "lighter fluid." <br /><br />Around the time, there were cross-country balloon flights, some of which even flew at night and were followed by a helicopter. So far, no matches that even tease the date of the events. Again a perfectly good candidate, that we just can't tie to the right time and place.Curt Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13773941506205598439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071963771262525979.post-72818687488021400512014-03-30T15:20:51.415-05:002014-03-30T15:20:51.415-05:00Just an observation . . . a hot air balloon most c...Just an observation . . . a hot air balloon most closely resembles the witness sketch. Designs or decorative coloring on the balloon could account for the ring of blue lights around the center, and it's described behavior approximates that of a balloon having problems staying aloft. Not saying it for sure was a balloon, but a balloon is a possibility . . . purrlgurrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519835482606629362noreply@blogger.com
