January 1948 Thomas Mantell UFO Encounter

[@nsjx]

Skyhook was what,... 30m-ish across, maybe slightly more at max alt... Someone, I don't recall who, said the decorated WW2 fighter vet Capt T Mantell estimated his object to be 250m wide iirc. balloon my ___. Plus,..just lay attentive ears on the people who eventually came forward with testimonies. Why this wasn't underlined in the recent "Congression Hearings on UAP" I haven't the foggiest... All the witnesses had already come forward. Poor family. I can't imagine the disappointment/frustration/anger/sadness

See now, you made a sincere effort... did some viewing/reading/research. Thus your skepticism is quite different from the summary dismissals of those who just assume that a wandering Skyhook balloon, which the Air Force cannot produce records to confirm, is the most likely explanation and so case closed, nothing to see here. It is certainly ~possible~ that the Air Force was looking for a way to disinterest the public without tarnishing the memory of a decorated World War II hero and one of its own... as the original suggestion he was chasing Venus was doing. Still, none of that rules out an actual visitation event. I wish more were willing to discuss these specific details openly, because then we would ALL be learning. Thank you for being a thoughtful friend.

@@TomOwensUAP I try to view the overall subject in utmost serious nature. I am,...*sick and tired* of Our Employees (that which we call the federal government) making decorated/high-level officials and other semi-qualified observers look like delusional fools. this has gone on for too many decades. It was the same from the beginning with Maj Keyhoe. He was *deadly* serious at every turn.I also believe,more recently, Cmdr Fravor and Graves witnessed anomalous craft. I have poured over their various interviews in the past. Fravor's wingman even eventually came foreward to offer her take after she could do so. I don't know what the hell is going on, but people are seeing something. These are citizens (employers of gov) with *integrity* and *experience*. I unfortunately can no longer spend as much time researching as I did a couple yrs ago, because I have replaced this allotted internet time to keeping up with UN-American wars waged by infiltrating entities within the system. this requires 80% of my self-rationed internet time. The good voices in Congress are too few these days. Everyone is bought by industry or special un-American interest. Anyway,...all of this to explain why I am not fully dedicated to the topic at hand. I had preferred otherwise, but we have a very sick nation, and our unfriendly "government" is at the administrator of poison. I see this from Europe where I live now. I see the degradation of the EU after the 'cancelling' of Russia. People in the "free-world" need to start paying critical self-researched attention, because the *petty* custom-fit populist fear-mongering lies they use with UFO/UAP are of the *same* breed as the lies these bought and paid-for puppets in all branches of gov and large media outlets wield against them right now. Our hideous infiltrated government and its unconstitutional agencies need a Spring cleaning. I mean, what the holy hell was the hoopla in NJ skies recently? CITIZENS have a right to know what is buzzing around in *their* State. No one could give *straight* answers it seemed. But oh,...if an *actual* wayward weather-ballon from China should enter airspace all hell would break loose and every "news" channel would be on "task". So this is where I have been,..wacking weeds and tall thistles on severely pressing issues so that i can seperate BS from fact/common-sense. Hope you and your fam are well bud. Happy "new" year to boot 🫡 Remain vigilant and challenge your circle to do tge same. We *must* start employing our ancient common-sense or we will lose our "Liberty"... our Constitution. Our Bill of Rights. Jefferson was right
