Saucer Shaped UFO Sightings Sure To Rise In Florida - Brooksville to be hub for new Aerobat saucer-shaped aircraft

 
By GEOFF FOX / The Tampa Tribune 

Imagine someday going into your yard or driveway, hopping into your George Jetson-style flying saucer and lifting off vertically as you head to work.
To some, such a scenario is pure science fiction, but to a consortium of seasoned aviation minds, including those who run Brooksville’s Corporate Jet Solutions, it’s no pie-in-the-sky fantasy.
Located at Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport, Corporate Jet Solutions recently inked a joint-venture agreement with Aerobat Aviation, a California company with plans, someday soon, to launch a manned flying saucer-like aircraft known as Geobat FS-7.
Unmanned prototypes of the aircraft have been made and tested in Brooksville and at Georgia Tech and Auburn University, where wind-tunnel tests were conducted.
“We are building a saucer plane,” said Bradley Dye, vice president of Corporate Jet Solutions and Dyenamic Aviation, which are owned by his son, Tony Dye. “You’ve seen ‘The Jetsons’ (cartoon)? It kind of looks like that.”

Dye said the companies are working to have saucers ready for the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Airventure Oshkosh event held July 28 to Aug. 3 in Oshkosh, Wis. The event draws aviation enthusiasts and companies from around the globe. In Oshkosh, Bradley Dye and Travis Shannon, chief executive officer of Aerobat Aviation, expect the saucer plane to elicit great interest.
“It will be clear on the top, but with a canopy on top for sun reflection,” Shannon said. “It will be almost like (flying in) a helicopter with much better visual of the sky and the ground, and the surroundings. You’ll feel like you’re floating.”
Dye and Shannon say they are prepared to revolutionize aviation and eventually bring high-paying jobs to Brooksville.
Matching their enthusiasm is Dennis Wilfong, who chairs Hernando’s Aviation Authority and is Brooksville’s ambassador of Commerce and Employment,
“What’s good for the airport is good for Brooksville, and what’s good for Brooksville is good for the county,” Wilfong said. “I think it’s a super opportunity. It will bring manufacturing jobs, and we’re looking at high-tech, high-end employment. We’re talking about way above our average median salary for our area. Plus, we’ll have machine shops moving in, all the collateral stuff.”

The California and Brooksville companies were brought together by county commission candidate Jimmy Lodato, a retired entrepreneur.
“Travis Shannon called me and wanted to see if there was local interest here,” Lodato said. “Knowing Tony Dye, he’s so young and energetic, and I thought he might be excited. Tony looked at (the idea) and loved it. We brought Travis down, sat in a conference room and got it all figured out.”
That was about four months ago.

“It’s now gone all over the world since Fox News ran a piece on it,” Lodato said. “Now, there are more (aviation supply) companies calling me and asking to be a part of it, We’ll see how much interest it created when we go up to Oshkosh.”
According to Shannon, the original saucer planes were produced by inventor Jack Jones, who is working on an improved design with Dean Goedde, a flight systems control designer who also designs airframes, autopilots and sensors.
Shannon said future commercial saucer flights are a remote possibility.
“What comes into question are fossil fuels and efficiency,” he said. “We have more inherent drag. It may not make sense for passenger jets, but there are more ideas for the future. That’s not to say that we couldn’t do cargo, because (the Geobat) could probably carry double the weight with similar wingspan.”

The Geobat also could be used for agricultural purposes.
The first scheduled commercial airplane flight happened more than 100 years ago, when Tony Jannus flew then-St. Petersburg Mayor Abraham Pheill across Tampa Bay to Tampa.
Bradley Dye predicted it is only a matter of time before the first manned saucer flight, from Brooksville to Tampa, will occur.
Asked what aviation pioneers Orville and Wilbur Wright might think of the saucer-shaped plane, Dye grinned.
“They believed in something that most people would have said couldn’t happen,” he said. “I think they would embrace a new design. Look at that first plane (of theirs). The thing was heavy, made of skids and cloth and wood. And they were the test dummies.”
Bradley Dye and Shannon touted the Geobat’s safety, saying the circular craft is likely to roll like a hubcap in the event of a crash, potentially increasing survivability rates.
The next step, Dye said, is to obtain Federal Aviation Authority certifications and begin production of light-sport aviation aircraft.
“We will have to do some public education,” he said. “This is a new design of aircraft. You don’t want people thinking it’s a UFO.”

Vancouver A Hotspot For Sightings From Outer Space

 
By CTV News Vancouver

The city that once played host to The X-Files is also the best place in Canada to spot a flying saucer, according to the Canadian UFO Survey.
That’s right: If the truth is out there, Vancouver is probably a good place to find it.
There were 116 UFO sightings reported in the city last year alone, with the average encounter lasting 13 minutes.

Astronomer Chris Rutkowski said the sheer number of sightings – 1,100 in all of Canada last year – demands further research.
““Are we looking at a real phenomenon? Is there a psychological phenomenon accounting for all this?” said Rutkowski, who works with the Canadian UFO Survey.
“Why do people persist in seeing something that supposedly shouldn’t be there?”
Vancouver has been a UFO hot spot for years, according to the survey, and B.C. was second only to Ontario for sightings in 2013.
About 300 UFOs were reported across the province, with sightings peaking between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m.
Rutkowski said most UFO sightings can be easily explained as satellites, planes or military exercises, but 10 per cent remain a mystery.
Also unexplained are some incidents of crop circles, which have confounded farmers in Northern B.C. in the past.
Charles Lamoureux, a Vancouver resident, claims he sees UFOs on a regular basis.
“I see them every night,” he said. “I can pretty well tell what’s a satellite and not a satellite. If it’s not a satellite and way up in the atmosphere and it changes direction, there’s not many things it could be.”
He claims to have seen his first UFO three years ago and was entranced by the possibility of communication with beings not from earth.
Lamoureux has since purchased a Yukon Night Vision Device, which he uses to peruse the night sky, searching for any sign of visitors from another planet. In one memorable incident, he said an orb came about 15 metres away from his balcony seemingly observing him. It hovered for a few moments before shooting off into the night sky.
Another time, he shone a light at a mysterious object in the sky with the orb flashing a light in response.
Lamoureux says he hopes whatever the UFOs may be, they become comfortable openly communicating with people from Earth.
