  • A picture is worth....yeah yeah you know the deal

    So a few weeks back was going through some of my father's things I found in his footlocker and there were a few canisters of film. These had to be at least from the 40's when he was at West Point. Hubby says go get them developed and frankly I didn't think that they would be able to but they were sealed up and took them down to the local Walgreens and what do you know they developed! It was pretty awesome to see my dad as a young man looking dapper with his fadora and his first car. Then sprinkled in were photos when he was Top Gun and several taken on base but the one that caught my eye and blew me away was taken apparently from his airplane while flying of three UFO's (flying saucers). Yup I said it.

    I didn't pay much attention to the photo at first then took a second look and 'bout nearly fell out of my chair. There plain as day are what looks like for lack of a better way to put it flying saucers. I don't have a scanner right now but I'll post the picture tomorrow and you can decide. Granted it is grainy and over 50 years old but I'd bet money that it was a UFO. That's the last thing I expected to find in those photos.

    UFO's never came up in conversation?

      That was the last any of the Polytubbies hear from Tiamat. The next day, all traces of her account disappeared from OT...

        I thought West Point is Army and Top Gun is Navy?

          I'm sure it's an unidentified flying object, too.

              He was West Point, Top Gun thingy was an analogy. Dad was a fighter pilot and flew 106 combat missions between WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Sloww there was alot he didn't talk about and frankly while there might have been other people who saw it I'm sure he didn't want to say anything being a Lt. Col so as not to come off well.....looney tunes But in looking at the picture there really is no other explination that I can come up with except maybe weather ballons but three of them? Scanning shortly.

                              It's simple as **** to get film developed and put on a cd at Walmart, like so:

                              If she really had the pictures she would have posted it in the OP. She's going to disappear again for 6 months when she isn't able to produce the photos, and then reappear hoping that we have forgotten.
