A UFO in Vinon
19 - 20 March 2009 I
There are people who claim it's impossible to take a close-up photo of a UFO. That's false. On August 18, 2008, a UFO landed in the middle of the day at the Vinon airfield, on the paved runway reserved for airplanes, then it approached the witnesses, members of the glider club. It stopped. A kind of transparent dome on top slid open. Then, after a moment of understandable surprise, the witnesses saw a human-like being emerge from this strange machine, speaking French with a strong Belgian accent. It entered the club house and asked for a beer, completing a prank that we were not fooled by. It then returned to its craft and continued on its way, without saying a word. Some witnesses claim they saw it refuel, but I think the proximity of its craft to the gas pump was pure coincidence. Or perhaps it was meant to mislead the witnesses further. Personally, I doubt such a machine could sustain itself in the air using our physical laws. We are facing a very elaborate cover-up. I don't know if you've seen the Spielberg series "Taken," where aliens, the "little greys," use the mental resources of humans to change their appearance, using our own fantasies. Who knows what machine could have been hidden behind what was seen by the members of the glider club on August 18, 2008, which will remain forever engraved in our memories.
The fact is that while the alien was at the bar, I was able to make quick sketches of its machine. Here they are:
The UFO, viewed from the front
It can be noted that the UFO takes mimicry to the point of offering what appears to be a registration number
Finally, the craft viewed from the back.
Meantime, here is a series of photos, taken with a mobile phone lens.
On top, this kind of cabin from which the UFO pilot emerged
The craft, viewed from the front. The overall shape is triangular, perhaps in reference to the Belgian wave of the 1990s.
The machine, viewed from what seems to be the back, attached to a weight (cement in a tire) using a nylon belt
Untrained observer could take this assembly for a flying machine of Belgian origin. But a more detailed examination of the photos will prove to be very informative. Here are other views:
A close-up side view. Notice the enormous front landing gear
Owhere is the main landing gear? There simply isn't any. Apart from two small wheels at the wingtips, the size of restaurant table wheels, you will find only a small diameter wheel at the very back. The photographer, young Paul Bouvier, didn't hesitate to courageously crawl under the machine to take this photo.
The tiny rear wheel
Passing on to what was supposed to resemble a cabin.
The cabin. The "transparent dome" is pushed forward
During the axis of the photograph, one can faintly distinguish the ground through the floor of the craft.
How does the alien manage to slip into this cabin? The answer is in the next photo
The explanation
During the axis of the device, the large compartment used to retract the huge front wheel. On both sides, the compartments in which the creature inserts its lower limbs. On the left, a transparent window allows it to assess the size of the grass blades in the final phase of the flight. In the following photos, we discover the flaws in the mimicry we witnessed. In close-up, the trailing edge of what attempts to resemble a vertical stabilizer, images probably inspired by objects photographed in a supermarket.
Last photographs can be considered as "the cherry on the cake." To fix this fake vertical stabilizer, the aliens, not content with pretending to be Belgians, commit technological blunders that allow us, aeronautical engineers, to exclaim, "No, this flying machine is not from here! We are not fooled!"
The bolt supposed to fix the vertical stabilizer's axis. In close-up, the strap, of clearly terrestrial origin
Zoom in on this photo. What do we see?
The fake bolt, keyed
Sif this object were an authentic bolt, a real rusted block, it would only be engaged on the thread for half its height. To complete the illusion, the image shows an object evoking a locking key.
En as an UFO expert, I give a formal conclusion: No, this machine is not of terrestrial origin! These details, which constitute a real challenge to mechanics, surely hide some sophisticated system allowing it to escape gravity.
The Horten twin-engine single-seat bomber

The Horten IX viewed from the front. Compare the sizes of the wheels of the two parts of the landing gear
Close-up, one of the few photos of the twin-engine aircraft built by the Horten brothers in the last months of the war 1939-1945, just before the collapse of Nazi Germany. Note the same size difference between the main landing gear and this huge front wheel, located behind the pilot. The explanation is as follows. Like the wings of Jack Northrop, those of the Horten brothers had a nasty tendency to stall. This stall began in the outer parts of the wings, then abruptly migrated forward. In flight, the machine immediately went into a dive. But landing is a controlled stall, performed very close to the ground. The flying wing was thus supposed to first touch the ground with the rear parts of the landing gear. Then, when the decrease in speed caused the stall, the craft would tip onto its front landing gear, which had to be sized accordingly to absorb the impact.

: Of course, no UFO landed in Vinon on August 18, 2009. The alien is the Belgian Bart Verhees

UBelgian UFO that can fold its wings. You can see the profile (thick, load-bearing), with its "squirrel" in S, to ensure longitudinal stability. This raised part interests the fixed part of the wings, the trailing edge of the folded part forming "elevons."
In this photo, you can see the inverted dihedral of the wing intended, according to its designer, to compensate for the strong Dutch roll effect due to the excessive size of the vertical stabilizer
Chis inverted dihedral allows the small wheels at the wingtips to be practically in contact during taxiing. The front wheel is steerable and controlled by the rudder. On this model, large transparent windows have been made in the lower part to improve visibility. Indeed, the pilot, sitting in the middle of this wing, with only his head sticking out, has very little visibility downward. A very well-designed machine.

Lhe craft that landed before our eyes at Vinon was on a long journey with a tow plane. Its builder, inspired by the work of the brilliant German constructor Alexander Lippisch (1894 - 1976), had first built a model...
