In reply to the discussion: These UFO revelations are spooky and disturbing [View all]Kid Berwyn
(14,953 posts)148. Here's what Chief Delbert Newhouse filmed -- on dry land in 1952.
When a dozen luminous, disc-shaped objects flashed across a clear blue sky on July 2, 1952, near Tremonton, Utah, Navy Chief Delbert C. Newhouse pulled his car off the road, grabbed his 16mm movie camera and filmed what he knew was a bizarre sight.
Newhouse, who had more than 1,000 hours of aerial photography mission experience, shot 1,200 frames of one of the objects, which has been described as "two pie pans, one inverted on top of the other."
After rigorous examination of the 75-second film, Navy analysts concluded that the objects were not conventional aircraft, but some sort of "intelligently controlled" vehicles. They stopped short of calling them space vehicles. The Air Force, however, called them "possible birds."

That's what I think; or maybe they're just studying us(neither benevolent nor malevalent).

"anti-gravity" would enable an object to climb as easily as go sideways, or to float
