The “Twining Memo” - long rumored to be genuine - has now been officially released by the US government. Signed by Air Force General Nathan Twining in 1947, the document describes the UFO phenomenon as “real and not visionary and fictitious” and states that UFOs are controlled “manually, automatically, or remotely.”  The Twining Memo (pages 9, 10, 11). Reading these descriptions from 1947 is wild: •⁠(1) Metallic or light reflecting surface. •⁠(2) Absence of trail, except in a few instances when the object apparently was operating under high performance conditions. •⁠(3) Circular or elliptical in shape, flat on bottom and domed on top. •⁠(4) Several reports of well kept formation of lights varying from three to nine objects. •⁠(5) Normally no associated sound, except in three instances a substantial rumbling roar was noted. •⁠(6) Level flight speeds normally above 300 knots are estimated." submitted by /u/slow70 [link] [comments]
