Evolving technologies are not only overwhelming our legal and ethical systems, they might also endanger aviation safety. At least, that’s a concern raised by MUFON research director Robert Powell. Here’s the deal:
Powell recently compared two Texas UFO incidents from the evening of Sept. 19, 2011. The first occurred in the vicinity of the Dallas-Fort airport, and the second emanated from Austin, some 190 miles south. The sightings were 90 minutes apart, and what impressed him were the detailed quality and consistency of the witness reports, “one from an ex-military man familiar with military aircraft and one from a practicing engineer.”
The Austin observer reported 10-12 triangular shaped, tannish UFOs flying in wingtip formation. He initially thought they were birds, but decided against it because they were moving too fast. The objects roughly matched the Dallas-Fort Worth sighting; assuming they were the same things, that clocked their estimated speed at between 207 and 253 mph.
