The Cold War's Classified Skyhook Program
|
A Participant's Revelations - By B.D. Gildenberg
Classified high-altitude, long-duration flights of huge Skyhook balloons, which often returned their secret payloads to the surface, began in 1947 and continued for several decades. This secret Cold War program was the likely progenitor of many key aspects of UFO mythology.

"An article like this proves very little - it's pretty thin onspecific times, dates and places of the Skyhook flights and the associated retrieval missions. With those in hand, it should be easy enough to correlate with reported UFO sightings. Until then,it's just another interesting claim."
