Talk:Mantell UFO incident

message: *There seems to be some overlap between the Skyhook balloon paragraph and the Venus paragraph.  Could someone familiar with the subject matter re-write those in a clearer fashion? Aervanath 10:35, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Skyhook/Venus section overlap 

message: Currently the article has this statement: ...In 1956, USAF Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, the supervisor of the Air Force's Project Blue Book study into the UFO mystery, would write that the Mantell Crash was one of three "classic" UFO cases in 1948 that would help to define the UFO phenomenon in the public mind... as a reader, I immediately wondered what the other two "classic" UFO cases in 1948 were, but alas there is no link. Can anyone add this? 218.25.32.210 (talk) 08:47, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I knew, from reading Edward Ruppert's book on Project Blue Book, that a Skyhook balloon from Clinton County AFB was considered as a strong probability for the object seen in Kentucky.  However, I had never seen the bulletin from Clinton County indicating that they had also observed an object at about that same time.
If it was the Skyhook they had launched, wouldn't they have recognized it?  And I would also thought that Ruppert would have known about their initial report of the object.
So there's no follow-up in this article as to why they thought the original sighting was not the 
Skyhook balloon that they had launched.  It seems like either their initial report was in error, (it *was* the Skyhook, and they failed to identify it), or else the hypothesis about the Skyhook as probable object is flawed; the actual launch site said that the object they saw didn't match their balloon.

thread_title:  Article by DVIDS 

message: According to WP:FRIND sources, Mantell blacked out while chasing a then-classified Skyhook balloon: 
*The First Air Force Pilot to Die Chasing a UFO Was Actually Chasing a Secret Balloon
*Thomas Francis Mantell Jr.
* UFOs Explained, Philp J. Klass, p.39
*Critical Thinking: Step by Step, Robt. Cogan, University Press of America
However, the article wrongly gives WP:UNDUE weight to fringe sources such as ufologist David M. Jacobs and ufology org NICAP so that conventional explanations are rebutted and dismissed. - LuckyLouie (talk) 15:35, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I rewrote the Skyhook section. If that removed anything needed for the lead, feel free to add those bits in. If anyone else is interested in taking a swing at the article, the Venus section and last paragraph of "Incident" should probably be folded into an "Investigation" section that does not quite so much play up the mystery.

: The bluebook files on the commons have low-quality photos of the crash: :File:Project Blue Book report - 1948-01-7272838-Godman-Kentucky-136-.pdf & :File:Project Blue Book report - 1948-01-9669879-GodmanAFB-Ken--33-.pdf 
: National Guard photos should be public domain and some of the articles credit some of their photos to the National Guard. Rjjiii (talk) 21:48, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks! Kind of you to say. Related note: I have January 6 United States Capitol attack on my watchlist even though I don't edit it, and I often see you maintaining and updating it. Props for that; it's important topic in the US and loads of people where I live are still in some level of denial about it. Take care, Rjjiii (talk) 17:07, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

message: Some sources indicated the metal sheets remains of capt. Mantell Mustang P-51 had lots of tiny holes. A much later report in Scientific American (SciAm) about 'Particle beam weapons' proposed such weapons produce holes in metal sheets. Mental connection is easy.
