It can't be a, 'flying saucer', because it doesn't look like this, which is actually what Kenneth Arnold believed he had observed and is evidently keen to point same out here:
As we have long since understood, the only reason those nine enigmatic objects ended up being given that name by the press, was because of the terminology he is attributing as using to describe their undulating flight formation, 'like a saucer if you skip it across the water'.
So why on earth (sic), nowadays, keep chasing something which never existed in the first place.
This would perhaps be a rhetorical question. No flying saucers, then everything built on that foundation is equally specious and entire pyramid of cards comes crashing down.
As a card-carrying ufologist, since my feature, cover article in FT137, I could only stress the point because there are many alternative avenues of related research and flying saucers are a complete waste of both time and resources.
Recently, spending time studying an invaluable resource unavailable then, I have come across some material which doesn't seem to have been previously highlighted.
It further, categorically, supports conclusions of my two year, extensive research undertaking and the demonstrable conclusion of what Kenneth Arnold had truly seen that fateful day, whilst flying over the cascade mountains.
I shall assemble same and post on the main Kenneth Arnold thread later today.
