I knew that some UFO types did not seem to match the Solar Magnetic theory. In the few cases when they were seen, such as when a large cylinder UFO the ships seemed to be in some distress, as in wobbling a great deal. Large cylinders, saucers, cones, and falling fireballs represent incoming shuttle or packet ships from space. Smaller ships associated with these such as small saucers, also tend to avoid solar magnetic storms, mainly because they are associated with these incoming mother ships. They especially are used during periods when incoming motherships may be experiencing trouble, such as during solar storms.
Small spheres appear to be a kind of earth based jeep.
They often are used as beacons when they are seen to be stationed in one spot for long periods of time. They too ignore solar storms. I mentioned in 1998, that by 2000, the UFO groups would be experiencing a drop off of interest because I saw the coming solar storm period as a period when UFO levels would be dropping off. I had the shock of my life while watching the astronauts on the Internet as they performed their duties working outside of the shuttle. Suddenly in the black background of space, a silvery disk with a slight dome on top appeared just to the right of the shuttle and stayed fixed in that spot for a few seconds.
