The Rhoades Flying Saucer Photos
We've dealt plus the William Rhoades UFO photo from July 7th, 1947 at this blog and inattentive nearer.

Anthony Bragalia has provided interpretation on the photo.

Hayden Hewes also evaluated the photos (two) in a "UFO Ascertain" article [October 1978, Layer 40 ff.], from which the image leader comes.

Impart are undeniable elements in the Rhoades story that action...

Primary submit is the date of the photos -- July 7th, 1947 -- the time approach of the Roswell incident. Rhoades took his photo(s) in Phoenix, Arizona anywhere he lived.

Men in Black, seemingly, visited Mr. Rhoades and apparently warned him about discussing the photos -- that "would be considered and act of espionage" they told him.

Air Ghost store guarantee that the military took the small business seriously, as AF store show [Show aggression 40, July 7, 1947, 1600 hours, Phoenix, Ariz] Mr. Hewes reports.

An hardship by John A. Clinton, for the Air Ghost, adjudicated the photos were faked.

But William Spaulding of Ring Saucer Watch disagreed, message that the Rhoades photos were bona fide, transmission a huge object (30/35 feet in diameter), about 4000 feet from Rhoade's [box] camera. The object had a light novelist, not a split in the center as at all saw it, and appeared pretend, plus venting holes on the spinal column side.

Kenneth Arnold reportedly believed, "On June 24th with I ready my observe of the nine flying disks, the close one from the bottom looked in words of one syllable rectify require the piture that [a Boss Davidson] drew [for Arnold of the Rhoades craft].

The photos were unavailable from him by two members of the intelligence communal Rhoades believed, and they were never returned or found, Rhoades attempting a legal action to recover them, which was never brought to fruition.

The Rhoades story and photos enchant at all ballet company and contributors offer, and I can see why; The date of the camera work, the men in black, the detrimental evaluations of truthfulness, the Arnold imply, and Rhoades credibility among other elements in this old subdivision.

Greater to come?
