Mothman: Were Parachutes and Jet Packs Responsible? - Mysterious Universe

Nick Redfern combines a novel suggestion first appearing in a 2014 magazine about Green Berets practicing parachute jumps with an idea from his own fertile brain regarding soldiers flying early "rocket suits." Result: a wild possible explanation for some Mothman reports. Paul Seaburn mentions Nick's article in UFOs Over West Virginia Town Remind Many of Mothman. Seems that Crum, West Virginia--only about 100 miles from Point Pleasant, the center of the "Mothman" saga--has had two photographic "sightings" of an odd flying object. As often happens, the respective photographers were not actually witnesses, as they only noticed the anomalies on their photos afterwards. Back to Nick and UFOs: Are They Tulpas?, featuring a chronology of the changing appearances of supposed ET craft. Recent work we highlighted by Martin Shough in Return of the Flying Saucers: Re-evaluating the Kenneth Arnold UFO Sighting challenges Nick's statement about Kenneth Arnold's UFO shape reporting, but that doesn't much affect Nick's wider case. There's an interesting distinction between the original meaning of "Tulpa" and the Westernized understanding, too. Nick also ruminates upon Helicopters of the (Almost) Silent Kind. Nick suggests that early Groom Lake projects may be behind such "black helicopter" cases as the 1975 rash of sightings over Strategic Air Command bases in the northern tier of states. (WM)
