Flying Saucers To Mars

All the 'UFO's ever 'seen' (and we have covered the subject a few times), are earth sourced .... no evidence of an extraterrestrial source has ever been proven. So the news that NASA are considering developing spacecraft that strongly resembles a flying saucer, will confirm to many, that all UFO's are merely mistaken natural events that are misunderstood, such as 'ball lightening', or test flights of different designs by aviation companies e.g. Stealth Bombers.

Of course the Nazi Flying Saucer, or Alien Technology at 'Area 51' (actually hanger 18, 'foreign technology section', at the Wright Patterson Airbase for 'true' followers of these things), conspiracists, won't be put off, because this news can easily be accommodated within their belief system via backward engineering.

Anyway, testing of the saucer-shaped Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD), which NASA  hopes could one day land on Mars is to commence soon.  So we can expect that there will be 'sightings' next year, if these are near any public areas.

Interestingly, flying saucer sightings have fallen away in recent years, to be replaced by sightings of objects resembling stealth bombers and other angular shapes, perhaps reflecting a subconscious recognition by viewers that these craft are invariably human designs.

And in fact, other designers have adopted 'Saucer' motifs since the 1950's ..... for some reason petrol stations or 'gas' stations as our friends across the Atlantic call them, were a particular favourite.

Perhaps it was because of TV shows such as the 'Jetsons', where flying saucers were depicted as the daily commuter transport ...

..... seemed to be portraying a future just a few decades away. It's just a pity for my daily commutes, that British Rail didn't press on and produce that flying saucer.

    I think that the saucer shape is indicative of an "Undifined" Flying Object ; all sorts of natural occurences could be mistaken for a roundish object, far less for (eg.) a Klingon Bird of Prey.

    I can only imaging the wrong sorts of air which might be discovered if BR had produced a flying saucer !

    I notice that the Nazi Saucer is marked as # 51. Nice touch, after the US took German scientists to area 51 in the 1940's and 1950's.
