Texas L.O.W.F.I

Posts Tagged ‘Military’

Interesting… this recent report may be a repeat of a sighting from the beginning of this year, according to anonymous claims in the comments section at the website source.

Sometimes, it’s really worth the time to travel country roads instead of the freeway.  You just never know what gems you may stumble upon while driving the scenic byways and highways of Texas.  You may find a really great BBQ joint or a kitschy country store selling irresistible knickknacks — or maybe a state-of-the-art stealth fighter parked on the side of the road.

What?

Yep.  That’s what we said when we saw the photos Craig Levisay sent to our 5 and 6 p.m. anchor Mike Snyder this morning.  Levisay found what appears to be a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft, broken down along state Highway 1187 near Drury Lane in Rendon.

The $50 million F-35, which has stealth capability and the ability to take off and land vertically, was shrink-wrapped in blue and perched on the back of a flat-bed truck that was partially hidden behind a pile of asphalt.

But the clever cover didn’t keep Levisay, or any other number of passerbys, from snapping some photos of the military’s next generation aircraft, or even shielding themselves from the hot summer sun underneath one of the aircraft’s foldable wings.

MY HUSBAND AND i SAW THIS SAME PLANE THERE ON JANUARY 20TH OF THIS YEAR. I HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE IT. USUALLY ON TRANSPORTS LIKE THIS, THEY WILL SOMETIMES TRAVEL ON BACKROADS TO AVOID MAJOR HIGHWAY AND MOST OF THE TIME PREFER TO TRAVEL @ NIGHT AND REST DURING THE DAY. WHEN WE SAW IT IN THE SAME SPOT IN JANUARY, IT HAD A POLICE OFFICER GUARDING THE TRUCK AND PLANE. VERY NEAY SIGHT TO SEE, BUT IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME IT’S BEEN THERE.

The Story Behind The Men Who Stare at Goats

There is a lot of excitement right now about the new George Clooney film, The Men Who Stare at Goats. After all, who could resist a movie that starts by mixing humor with stories featuring psychic arts and peaceful warriors sporting all-seeing eye tattoos, loosely drawn from a real-life military ESP program, and which then winds up during the war in Iraq with the liberation of a stable full of doomed goats destined to be stared to death!

Join former Army psychic warrior Maj. Paul H. Smith (US Army, ret.) as he spins the stories behind the stories of The Men Who Stare at Goats, touching on secrets, straightening out twisted tales, and excavating down to bedrock truth about the soldiers who used ESP to keep track of America’s Cold War foes. For seven years, Paul H. Smith was assigned to the military psychic espionage program eventually known as Star Gate. He is author of Reading the Enemy’s Mind: Inside Star Gate—America’s Psychic Espionage Program (Tor/Forge, 2005), which was the Book Bonus and Editor’s Choice feature for the March 2006 Reader’s Digest.

Paul is President and Chief Instructor for Austin-based Remote Viewing Instructional Services, Inc. (www.rviewer.com) and President of the International Remote Viewing Association (www.irva.org).

The event is sponsored by the Austin Community Group of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (www.ionsaustin.org).
