SnowBird

From TinWiki.org

SnowBird being lifted by a crane.

Is this an experimental stealth aircraft? A military officer approached a man at a UFO convention who was holding some photographs and said, "How did you get a picture of the Snowbird Aircraft?" They did not know each other, nor did the man with the pictures speak about the pictures and what they were. This man who approached the other worked on the Snowbird aircraft. I have no other information of this aircraft or even if it truly exists, but nonetheless, it is quite interesting.

Theory Of The Snowbird by Tom McClure

Here are some facts about the picture(s), which allegedly are from Project Snowbird. After examining the photos and using a basic photogrammetry formula, I have determined the following dimensions, approximate to within +/- 1 foot.

The pole or stand in the center of the diamond shaped platform is 18 feet tall, and slants towards the main body of the runway at an angle of roughly 18 degrees.

The object being lifted on or off the tower by the crane is 15.5 feet long, 12 feet across, and 5 feet tall/deep.

If it has any means of thrust common to our technology, it is obviously hidden by the upper portion of the rear fuselage. If it is indeed designed to carry a passenger then it represents technology that is perhaps two-three decades beyond our current levels (the thrust equipment or engines would require greater miniaturization than is presently known and available).

The body is highly reminiscent of the Stealth design, which may indicate that it is a prototype or "shell" model of a remotely piloted spy-drone. There are certainly tests being done in this area...it's not improbable that this is an advanced example.

Design schematic of SnowBird.

For those who wish to critique the dimensions I have given, I submit to you the formula used:

ro/s = x/ms

Solve for x.

ro=reference object (I used the humans in the picture, assumed to be approx. 6 feet tall.)
s = shadow of reference object
x = the dimensions being measured of the object in question
ms = measured shadow of the object in question

Conspiracy

The popular theory is that SnowBird was the United States' Reverse Engineering project of the 1947 Roswell Flying Saucer/UFO. The project was centered at Area 51. SnowBird was supposedly a success, and the end product was a diamond-shaped anti-gravitational craft. A problem was that the craft could not go higher than twenty feet high unless taken above twenty feet by some other machine, in the photo being a crane. Sightings of a similar craft have been spotted being launched or dropped from The Super Valkyrie.
