The Rhoades Flying Saucer Photos

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

Anthony Bragalia has provided editorial on the photo.

Hayden Hewes both evaluated the photos (two) in a "UFO Spill the beans" article [October 1978, Minion 40 ff.], from which the image supervisor comes.

Show are one elements in the Rhoades story that stimulate...

Ruler communicate is the date of the photos -- July 7th, 1947 -- the time frame of the Roswell incident. Rhoades took his photo(s) in Phoenix, Arizona anyplace he lived.

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

Air Force numbers indicate that the military took the theme importantly, as AF numbers show [Bring about 40, July 7, 1947, 1600 hours, Phoenix, Ariz] Mr. Hewes reports.

An analysis by John A. Clinton, for the Air Force, adjudicated the photos were faked.

But William Spaulding of Arrive Saucer Watch disagreed, writing that the Rhoades photos were bona fide, showing a large object (30/35 feet in diameter), about 4000 feet from Rhoade's [box] camera. The object had a light stand, not a lair in the middle as some saw it, and appeared insincere, amid venting holes on the rearrange side.

Kenneth Arnold reportedly alleged, "On June 24th what I complete my hindsight of the nine flying disks, the mega one from the nitty-gritty looked piazza well-defined in the function of the piture that [a Boss Davidson] drew [for Arnold of the Rhoades craft].

The photos were obsessed from him by two members of the intelligence live in Rhoades alleged, and they were never returned or found, Rhoades attempting a state of affairs to declare them, which was never brought to fruition.

The Rhoades story and photos catch the attention of some concert party and contributors all over the place, and I can see why; The date of the picture making, the men in black, the offensive evaluations of soundness, the Arnold missile, and Rhoades credibility among other elements in this old stage.

First-class to come?
