Fe Warren Invasion Of The Blimps
The last blog post that I wrote concerning the FE Warren 50 ICBM communication outage back in October of 2010 focused on the media's coverage of the incident and the initial aftermath of Robert Hastings investigation. While investigating the incident, Robert Hastings discovered the possibility of UFO activity over or near the flight area. The general description given by witnesses was that of a cigar-shaped or blimp-like vehicle. I've taken the liberty to provide excerpts from Robert Hastings" article, "Huge UFO Sighted Near Nuclear Missiles During October 2010 Launch System Disruption." For the reader to have full context of Hastings' story, I urge the reader to read the entire article at ufohastings.com
"Significantly, these same individuals report multiple sightings by "numerous [Air Force] teams" of an enormous cigar-shaped craft maneuvering high above the missile field on the day of the disruption, as well as the following day. The huge UFO was described as appearing similar to a World War I German Zeppelin, but had no passenger gondola or advertising on its hull, as would a commercial blimp."
"In addition to the military reports I have received, there is also persuasive testimony from a number of civilian witnesses relating to ongoing UFO activity within F.E. Warren's huge missile field, which sprawls across the tri-state convergence of southeast Wyoming, southwest Nebraska and northeast Colorado. Between late September 2010 and early April 2011, there have been credible reports of cigar, cylinder, spherical and triangular-shaped objects maneuvering near and even hovering low over various missile silos in Banner, Kimball, Cheyenne and Morrill Counties in Nebraska. Other sightings occurred in Laramie County, Wyoming, north and east of the city of Cheyenne..."
"So, for the moment, I will say only this: On October 23-24, 2010, one or more "huge" cigar-shaped objects were observed by active duty Air Force personnel in the field. The actual number of UFOs is uncertain because it is not known whether a single object was observed more than once-at different, widely-separated locations as it maneuvered above the missile field-or whether multiple objects of the same size and configuration were involved over the two-day period of the sightings..."
"In any case, in addition to those active duty USAF observers, a retired missile maintenance technician-someone I have relied on in the past due to his accurate, informed testimony-happened to be driving through Cheyenne, Wyoming on the morning of October 23rd and reports seeing one of these unidentified aerial objects himself. He described the situation this way: "I saw a huge dirigible east of Cheyenne on the morning of the 23rd. I saw Goodyear blimps in Meridian and Torrington, Wyoming, later that same morning. I have no idea what the other thing was, only that it was huge, and shaped like a cigar. I thought someone had resurrected an old Zeppelin and was touring the country. I didn't think anything of it when I saw it, only wished I had my camera with me."..."
"When I asked him to elaborate, he responded, "I left Ft. Collins [Colorado] at approximately 0800, so I would have been in West Cheyenne around 0830 or so... The airship-or whatever I saw-was east-northeast of I-80, at least 10 miles away. I've seen Goodyear blimps in person, [directly] overhead, and they are 'blimp' shaped. [However] what I saw was very long and I don't remember seeing any structures under it. It didn't appear shiny, but dull and gray... I would guess it was 7:1, or seven [units] long to one [unit] wide, or so it looked. It was tapered on both ends and very big. It was not short and squat like normal blimps. It appeared to be moving northerly and was over the buttes east of town."..."
"He continued, "Now, I've driven all over America and have never spotted three blimps in one day. I talked to the gas station attendant in Torrington and he said the Goodyear blimp [had been] flying over the area for the past several days-along with another 'Hindenburg'-his quote, not mine."
Hastings sources provided descriptions of possible blimp-like airships. Most descriptions of the UFO were described as cigar-shaped. Interestingly enough, one of Robert's sources did state that a Goodyear blimp or blimps were sighted in the area. Whether he was referring to an actual Goodyear blimp or another, ie, Metlife blimp is difficult to tell from the narrative.
According to Hastings' source, a gas station attendant saw a Goodyear blimp fly over the Torrington area for at least the past few days leading up to the sightings. As far as what he meant about another Hindenburg, that's open for speculation. But as you will see there may have been an airship that may have been a "Hindenburg" flying in the area.
What kind of blimps are flying in the U.S on a day by day basis? And what do they actually look like?
Above is the classic profile of a Goodyear blimp. Definitely "cigar" shaped. But it's features and painting would have definitely been noticeable by all of Hastings' witnesses. Was this what the gas station attendant saw flying over portions of Wyoming?
This is a "Hindenburg", actually its a photo of the real Hindenburg moored in Lakehurst, NJ. This airship was huge! Longer than three Boeing 747s linked together. This type of "monster" would have been noticed...not just by Hastings' witnesses, but by most of the inhabitants of the Cheyenne metroplex and the outlying areas.
This is the Skyship 600. The newest type of commercial blimp that has been flying over the U.S. It's used for commercial/advertisement purposes.
This is the Lockheed Martin P-791 experimental airship initially flown back in 2006. The P-791 is being shopped around as a civilian cargo carrying craft after it lost out to an US Army contract for military applications. Could this had been one of the huge "cigar" shaped object sighted by numerous witnesses? Notice that there is no classic blimp-like gondola at the bottom of this airship.
In this view of the P-791, you can clearly see the crew compartment up front.
So as can be seen, there are numerous examples of different types of airships that could have been over the the Cheyenne and FE Warren area that fit the description of huge cigar-shaped aircraft. Could the P-791 been in the area? Granted, this is more speculation on my part, but at least I'm providing a line up of suspects.
