Aviation Week: William Scott Reports Multiple Secret Aircraft Over Southwestern Desert
On October 1, 1990, Aviation Week and Space Technology publishes a landmark article by senior engineering editor William Scott, a former flight test engineer and graduate of the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School, entitled 'Multiple Sightings of Secret Aircraft Hint at New Propulsion, Airframe Designs.' Scott analyzes 45 daylight and nighttime sightings of strange craft over the southwestern desert. He concludes there are 'at least two β but probably more β types of vehicles' beyond the F-117A and B-2. One is a 'triangular-shaped, quiet aircraft seen with a flight of F-117A stealth fighters several times since the summer of 1989.' Another is a 'high speed aircraft characterized by a very deep rumbling roar.' A third is a 'high altitude, high speed aircraft, typically observed as a bright, pulsating light, moving much faster than other aircraft, giving no engine noise or sonic boom.' Scott also writes of 'exotic propulsion systems being used in new aircraft' and comes close to stating that anti-gravity technology is being used. When UFO researcher William Hamilton spoke privately with him, Scott confirmed his opinion that anti-gravity was indeed being used.
Background
On October 1, 1990, Aviation Week and Space Technology published a landmark article by senior engineering editor William Scott reporting multiple sightings of secret advanced aircraft operating over the Southwestern United States. The piece, titled "Multiple Sightings of Secret Aircraft Hint at New Propulsion, Airframe Designs," suggested that observed anomalous aerial phenomena in the region might be attributable to classified aerospace programs rather than extraterrestrial craft. Scott, a former flight test engineer and graduate of the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School, brought significant technical credibility to the analysis.
The Incident
The article documented numerous observations of unusual aircraft in the desert Southwest, describing flight characteristics and airframe designs that appeared to exceed publicly acknowledged capabilities. These sightings reportedly indicated the existence of highly classified vehicles utilizing advanced propulsion systems. Scott
