One Of My Favorite Government Photographs


Click image to enlarge

Unfortunately, it's not a flying saucer, but the domed top of a 70 foot long vacuum tank in Cleveland, Ohio at the renamed John H. Glenn Research Center. The guys in protective clothing had just emerged from within the tank where they had been cleaning in the toxic mercury atmosphere. This NASA photo was taken on January 1, 1961. Ike had three weeks left in office. John Glenn hadn't even gone into outer space yet. Camelot was about to be in session. /jack

    A vacuum tank, a weather balloon, early versions of the stealth fighter, they will soon run out of associations. Iran is having a spike in ufo sightings around nuke facilities. Many in Iran are guessing they are surveillance saucers from the US.
