All clearly derived from ancient precolumbian alien originals.  Duh.

Do you not know that everything we have since 1950 is based upon the recovered articles and test-bed examples? Did you eat lead paint chips as a kid?

That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Next.

Northrop was designing/building/flying twin-engined flying wings in the late 30s/early 40s, independent of the Hortens. They were primarily known for designing gliders.  One of Northrop's early flying wings was restored to flightworthy status and was flown on the west coast airshow curcuit in the late 90s.  I saw it at Chino, but I haven't seen it mentioned as a flying display in several years.  Another of his early a/c was (is?) at the Smithsonian.

While the Germans had advanced aircraft on the drawing board, they we little more than pipe dreams due to a lack of strategic war materials, production facilities, skilled workers, and trained aviators late in the war.

Completely.  I'll never understand the Peenemünde-obsessed.  All recovered articles = abject failures.  Required decades to revise into utility.

Also, that WWII air museum at Chino is priceless.

So you don't support the 2nd Amendment.  Got it.  I can assure you her low numbers have nothing to do with Trump or gun rights.  Now go back to your Play-doh, snowflake.

Surprising moniker you've got for a mind so frozen in time.

Needless to say, Jack rescued the workable science from its prison of Hitler cult idiocy.

Single-handedly hunting for a stalker is a full-time job.  He's a busy man, between this and posting on BellGab.  Well, let's make it just this.

Also, makes for some "interesting" reading.

Did Art ever guest spot as teased?

The alt-historical (and farcical) title of this thread reminds me of this asshole's oeuvre:

Sort of enjoyed Daniel Simon's scaled-up interpretation for Captain America, a blend of Horten & Bel Geddes:



I liked Raiders' too, though prefer Ron Cobb's original four-engined arrangement.



True, neither feature the graceful blade-like (almost certainly Kenneth Arnold sighted) "sophisticated parabolic geometry" of the canceled and captured articles' tail sections.

Punctuation ART.

Might say his writing is . . . artless?

My favorite part about this post is the pitch-dark irony.  A daughter named for a continent he "dearly loves," the minefield computer that was built there, wrapped in the magnificent desolation of outsourced (Asian*) customer service.

*probably South Asian/Indian if we're being honest.

Didn't see that one. Him being a Las Vegas Shooter Truther I did see.

I believe the title was "The Harvest."

Yeah, Vegas.  Classic fear-monger move: "I am not going to speculate . . . but . . . "

that counts

No one's keeping score.  The dead will not remember you.

Defend life and pleasure, sure, while we're around.  Keep the ignorant from pouring out the razzia they dearly crave.

That's enough, I guess, to keep the parody fizzing.  The temporary cessation of pain.

Know only you're alone -- and that the prize, atop the hill, is an empty box.

I want to believe that the world even if it is a mean ruthless place, still harbors the Jefferson Smiths who want to change things for the better. Call me idealistic and old-fashioned but I think I'd rather believe an illusion than otherwise. Not saying there are many people like that but there are a few.

I'm fascinated that the state of reality hasn't created more pessimistic nihilists.  Even Pangloss died.

Politics is a futile spectator sport.  The only book to read is Mark Twain's What Is Man?

In my (worthless) estimation, degrees of emotional investment in politicians is inversely proportional to IQ.

Yeah, it's a bit much.

A bit.

Is he getting more religious, too?  One of the posts endorsed a "book" . . .

. . . which proved to be a young-earth evangelist's self-published birdcage liner.

Caesar's battle flag prejudices me against the guy's op-ed, a priori.

Aliens aren't real. Classified projects are, but Aliens and Bigfoot and all that other jazz is nonsense. It makes for good tall-tale late-night radio though!

I agree they're mostly nonsense.  The only things keeping the door open a hairsbreadth for me are three personal experiences and a totally unexpected answer I once received from a very close relative (an engineer at Hughes Aircraft in the halcyon Glomar Explorer days).

My naïve (and therefore accidentally brave) question: "Anything to all this Area 51, flying saucer business?"

-------'s answer: "I'll put it this way -- there are things I've done and seen for this country that I'll take with me to the grave."

This individual co-invented the jet fighter simulator.

Sean David Morton, et al, are outright fools -- obvious frauds -- however there is a weak signal in the oceans of noise.  I suggest you read the riveting account of archaeologist Jerry Freeman, circa 1997, which should have shot to pieces the likes of Bob Lazar -- and instead gave that man's story great fat legs to stand on. 

The real point, I guess, is:

Secrets can be kept.

Whether or not aliens -- of the Communion type -- exist, an occulted history of extraterrestrial visitation (in any form) would not surprise me if revealed.

. . . not sure about Strieber  . . .

To me, somewhere along the line, the reams of uninspected pablum finally enclosed and trapped Whitley in a prison of self-lore.  A fate very much paralleled in R.C. Hoagland.

Wasn't Whit a beloved airport novelist, way back when?

Maybe I'm being unfair.

No doubt it's been addressed here already, but -- whoa -- Art's recent Facebook panic.

He's drilled all the way through the bottom of the deep end.

Wish he wasn't so damn susceptible to the prevailing news-winds.

I listen sometimes to the golden era -- hoping to affirm my old high regard for the man -- and every time I'm disappointed.  The aw shucks credulity was always there.

Also, hello BellGab.
