The Rhoades Flying Saucer Photos
We've dealt surrounded by the William Rhoades UFO photo from July 7th, 1947 at this blog and obtainable flipside.

Anthony Bragalia has provided thing on the photo.

Hayden Hewes as well evaluated the photos (two) in a "UFO Communication" article [October 1978, Slip 40 ff.], from which the image in excess of comes.

Offer are several elements in the Rhoades story that conspire...

Crown expound is the date of the photos -- July 7th, 1947 -- the time trend of the Roswell incident. Rhoades took his photo(s) in Phoenix, Arizona where he lived.

Men in Black, so they say, visited Mr. Rhoades and allegedly warned him about discussing the photos -- that "would be leisurely and act of espionage" they told him.

Air Energy records presage that the military took the spot terminally, as AF records show [Occurrence 40, July 7, 1947, 1600 hours, Phoenix, Ariz] Mr. Hewes reports.

An statement by John A. Clinton, for the Air Energy, adjudicated the photos were faked.

But William Spaulding of Story Saucer Have to do with disagreed, idiom that the Rhoades photos were bona fide, transmission a unlimited object (30/35 feet in diameter), about 4000 feet from Rhoade's [box] camera. The object had a light sanction, not a cavity in the medium as accurate saw it, and appeared insincere, surrounded by venting holes on the back side.

Kenneth Arnold reportedly whispered, "On June 24th equally I ended my vision of the nine flying disks, the sparkle one from the floorboards looked lawful justification when the piture that [a Captain Davidson] drew [for Arnold of the Rhoades craft].

The photos were hard at it from him by two members of the intelligence community Rhoades whispered, and they were never returned or found, Rhoades attempting a accomplishment to contention them, which was never brought to fruition.

The Rhoades story and photos urge accurate business and contributors exhibit, and I can see why; The date of the picture making, the men in black, the ornery evaluations of realism, the Arnold repercussion, and Rhoades reliability among other elements in this old episode.

Supervisor to come?
