So Just WHAT Are They Carrying on These Trucks?This news story is about a huge object carried on a big truck that requires a police escort. It was in broad daylight. However they kept a tarp over it and the transport company asked police not to discuss it.
A spokes person for Northrop Grumman says it was an X47B. Well I suppose that it is possible that it was an X47B with wings removed. But an X47B is not secret.
Now NO ONE on the route went up to the truck to have a peek, but people on the route seeing t are saying it looks like a UFO.
Now over at ATS the thread went to 15 pages of people trying to 'guess what it is...

...even though the third post gave the news story...
It's a bird. It's a plane. It's a UFO? QuoteCOWLEY COUNTY, Kansas -- Residents in Cowley County are still talking about a mystery craft, seen being towed down US 77 Monday.
Sitting inside Lindly's Appliance Store, Kammi Root is used to seeing large machinery towed down US 77. But what she saw Monday afternoon is something she won't soon forget.
"There was this funny sphere that went through on this big trailer and my first thought was, 'That looks like a UFO,'" said Root.
A huge 32 foot craft, wrapped in tarp, was as mysterious as the transport company who called Sheriff Don Read for help.
"They told us that it was an aircraft and that they had explored other ways to transport it but this was the best way for them to do it and they asked us not to say a whole lot about it," said Read.
After all, the massive load's shape would certainly draw enough attention on its own.
"People were calling in saying, 'Oh they think they found a flying saucer. It looks like a flying saucer to us and we don't know for sure what it is,'" said Donetta Godsey with the Winfield Daily Courier.
For nearly an hour, officers helped maneuver the craft through Cowley County.
"The biggest thing that we had to deal with was down at the roundabout we had to remove a bunch of signs and markers because the load was so long it couldn't make the corner," said Read.
Meanwhile, onlookers struggled to wipe the shock from their faces and the questions from their minds.
"What was that funny thing that was on that trailer that looked like something from somewhere else?" said Root.
So what in the world was it? Undersheriff Bill Mueller says it was an experimental aircraft from Northrop Grumman, possibly a new unmanned drone. It still has a ways to go. Its final destination is Maryland.

Now it could very well BE an X47B as the Spokesperson said... but what this shows, especially the 15 pages of posts at ATS, is that they COULD move a Flying Saucer on the open road with a simple tarp and no one would know what it was... even when the shape under the tarp screams UFO :D
Right under our noses :P

Bahia Brazil - December 04, 2006(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/49ufo_files/04images/Brazil/Bahia-21-11-06-1.jpg)
Picture taken by Francisco BaqueiroQuoteSantiago Yturrria Garza
Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 10:33 AM
Possible crash involving a disk shaped object is reported in Brazil
Brazilian UFO Magazine's consultant witnesses the transportation of a strange disk shaped object in the Brazilian state of Bahia
On Saturday, November 25th, Brazilian UFO Magazine's editor A. J. Gevaerd received a call from Bahia with an intriguing story. The caller was Francisco Baqueiro, a psychologist and therapist, magazine's consultant in abductions, who said to have photographed with his cell phone a strange and perfectly disk shaped flying object being carried by a non identified truck in a road in the Brazilian state of Bahia. The picture was taken on Tuesday, November 21st, at 07:16 AM.
Baqueiro said he heard of the transportation one day before when an informer from an intelligence service called him telling an unknown artifact crashed and was recovered in an area in Bahia known as Recôncavo Baiano, south of the capital Salvador. The informer also told the object was to be carried from that place to the city of Feira de Santana, nearly 110 km from Salvador, through the BR-324, a two lane road with heavy traffic linking Salvador to that municipality. Despite the fact that Baqueiro was severely ill with kidney disease, he decided to check what happened.
That Tuesday 21st, shortly after 06:30 AM, the consultant and his wife spotted the truck carrying the object and followed after them. The vehicle stopped at Posto Phoenix, a! gas station along that road, 60 km far from Salvador and near the entrance to municipalities of Maracangalha and São Félix. Baqueiro pursued the truck for 15 minutes and reported that it was escorted by four Federal Police cars - two ahead and two behind - which delayed the traffic in the road.
"I tried to enter the gas station in order to better check what was going on, but was prevented by the federal agents", states the therapist. He also says the truck was very slow in the way and the object on it was so large that the vehicle had to go on at the center of the road. Even though, parts of that fuselage exceeded the truck and touched the trees at the side of the road. "That was certainly too heavy to make a truck to go so slow".
Despite the strangeness of that scene, the object was uncovered and totally exposed. "Even with so many cars coming on the opposite way (going to Salvador) and the other ones behind the truck, very few people seemed to care about that scene", Baqueiro says. After the Federal Police prevented him from entering, he stopped for a few moments near Posto Phoenix and, pretending to be talking on the phone, he took a single shot of the object. "I didn't try others because I didn't want to catch their attention".
Baqueiro sent the picture to the Brazilian UFO Magazine via cell phone, where it was uploaded into a computer and enlarged. Editor Gevaerd and co-editors Marco Petit, Rafael Cury and Claudeir Covo, along with the magazine consultants Fernando Ramalho, Wallacy Albino and Wendell Stein have preliminarily examined the photo. All were surprised by the image. One of magazine's co-editors and one of its consultants were skeptical and related that image to a similar one found on the Internet some months before. But a careful comparison showed that the object photographed in Bahia is a totally different thing (below). As for the previous picture, nothing came out and there is no information concerning verification of its authenticity.
Francisco Baqueiro - a consultant for the Brazilian UFO magazine for three years - is specialized in alien abductions and continues his search for more information on the fact. Following his editor's advice, he returned to that gas station two more times, but employees seemed to be afraid of talking about the issue. Now Baqueiro tries to find out exactly where the supposed crash might have happened and where the object was taken to. "All I know is the crash was in a sugar cane plantation, but the object was nearly intact".
The region is home to oil refineries, but Baqueiro denies the possibility of confusing a lid for water or fuel tanks with a possible UFO. After having worked for Petrobras, the main oil company in Brazil, he is sure to know such parts very well and they never reach the size of the object seen on the truck. He also rejects the possibility of the object being an attraction from a theme park, since he also knows much of the engineering of one of the largest parks in Bahia.
Right after the controversy reached the Internet, several UFO researchers suggested that the disk shaped object could be a cover for some liquid container that couldn't be transported assembled, and had to be taken in parts. That, according to a few investigators, would explain why the object was being transported in broad day light with no camouflage or at least some cover on top of it. Nuclear engineer Luiz Carlos C. Pires sent an e-mail positively identifying the disk shaped object as a cover for a factionary distillation machine, but the discussion is still open. And information is giving to overseas colleagues as to obtain further info that could explain the case.

Update:
Allegedly UFO was Transported down Dallas Highway
(http://www.ufocasebook.com/2009c/dallashighway1.jpg)
QuoteDallas, TX - 08-07-09
The UFO Casebook received the following information, along with two photographs from a reader.
Reader Details
Time: 9:00 pm - 9:30 pm on I-20 in Dallas. Weather was clear. There were numerous witnesses but no names as people were calling into the radio station I was listening to as well as others after I switched stations. My name is James Garza.
I was actually listening to the radio in Irving, TX, when the DJ said that a lot of people where calling in and saying that there was a truck on I-20 with a UFO on the bed of the truck.
It was being followed by what looked like miltary and police.This was kind of like what they do when a big name politician comes into town where they close the highway down for them. I remember they did that for Donald Rumsfeld when he was here about 2 1/2 years ago.
I then switched to another radio station since the one I was listening to went to commerical, and after awhile of listening they said they were getting calls in about the same thing. I don't know if it was for a movie or what, but if it was wouldn't they have closed the highway down before hand?
There were still civilians on the road at the time. I would have sent this sooner, but I don't have Internet at home and have to do it at work.
In a later e-mail, the reporter also told me that several of the callers said that they could see smoke or steam coming from the UFO on the flatbed truck.
(http://www.ufocasebook.com/2009c/dallashighway2.jpg)
QuoteA Little Research
After reading the information above, we began to search for more details of this alleged incident. This is what we found.
We were able to determine that at least one radio station, 97.9 The Beat - Call Letters KBFB, did in fact go live with caller input about the incident above. Here is a report made by another person on a forum.
This one has been getting some press. It's allegedly pictures of a UFO on the back of an 18-wheeler going down I-20. A man called the local radio station 97.9 the Beat, claiming that he took the pics and there were several government cars following the flatbed which was carrying the massive UFO.
Police escorts were forcing people to exit and shutting down ramps getting onto the highway. It actually looks real, but of course the pics are blurry as hell and hard to see.
It's easy to declare as fake at first glance, but it starts getting fishy when you take into account that the radio station has been told not to replay the audio, and their email system has allegedly gone automatic. Government intervention? Who knows these days.
The pics first appeared on Twitter and have been generating quite a stir. Is it so crazy to think the government is transporting a UFO down a highway on a flatbed.
Many people have even stated that they believe this could be a prop. Okay... maybe. BUT... props are typically moved in stages, and are not guarded by unmarked black Tahoes and Hummers accompanied by Dallas Police Department.
Current Status
At this point in time, we are lacking in corroborative info. It does appear to be quite unlikely that the Dallas Police Department would escort a government parade of an uncovered UFO down Interstate 1-20. However, stranger things have happened.
I have not been able to confirm from the radio station that they have been asked to not report on the callers of August 7. Of course, if this was true, they probably could not respond about the situation.
If any of you who live in the Dallas, Ft. Worth area, heard the call-ins, saw the incident mentioned above, or know someone who did, please tell us what you know, by sending us an email.

Very preculiar indeed Zorgon. On C2C a fellow sent in these photos from his sister and her boyfriend. Below is what the contributors wrote with his email.
I added them as attachments so don't know if they will show.
Unknown Drone
12-11-11: My sister and her boyfriend were heading back to Arkansas City KS coming from the gas station-casino on or near the Oklahoma state line, when they noticed the object being towed. A state trooper escorted it and black truck followed. Could it be an unmanned US drone?

I cut and cropped with some blowup. I would say from the transport truck the load was heavy with all those wheels and it being a drop deck heavy hauler. Looks like the sleeper cab was tajem off the back of the truck. Maybe for someone to sit back there and watch the load and observe curiosity lookers.
The other close up of the craft looks like a terrestrial design with tires on the landing gear.

US77 in Kansas. Some interesting shots in this one...

Here is a set of pictures for comparison... I expect since its on the way to Maryland we will get more reports as it moves along. It IS interesting that it wasn't spotted till it got to Crowley Corners though. I guess we out west here are used to seeing weird stuff in the air and on the road :D

I would think the LAST way a UFO would be transported would be by a private company going by ground transport with local police guiding you through the city. All of this stuff in the videos was man made IMO. ;D The only UFO in any of these pictures is the Ukranian From Out of town.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkDe5Bj5hoM
This one is easy to tell it is man made because you can see it was machined under the light plain as day. It might be 316 Stainless Steel parts.

This one does not look machined but it does look like it is made of mild steel. Not to mention the guys standing around casually...I know I would feel just like that with a UFO on my truck. :P
Update 12-21-11
http://news.yahoo.com/flying-saucer-towed-down-kansas-main-street-140402721.html
QuoteFinally, a man named Brooks McKinney stepped forward to pierce the veil of mystery and conspiracy. McKinney, senior manager of public relations at Northrop Grumman, told Life's Little Mysteries that the suspected UFO was in fact an X-47B, an unmanned combat drone designed to operate from aircraft carriers.
The X-47B has an impressive wingspan of 62 feet (just over 30 feet with wings folded); a length of nearly 40 feet; and stands about 10 feet high on three wheels. The X-47B in the video was headed to a Naval air station in Maryland.
"We built two for the Navy, they were being tested at Edwards Air Force Base [in California] since March," McKinney said. "One is on its way to Maryland, and the other will remain in California." He took the UFO speculation in good humor, though, and understood the curiosity: "Clearly people are interested in what's going through town. It's unusual to see a shrink-wrapped aircraft, especially one with that shape."
The reason it wasn't simply flown across the country is deceptively simple: "It's difficult to fly an unmanned drone through commercial airspace," McKinney explained. Piloted aircraft are one thing, but long trips for large aircraft without a human pilot on board are frowned upon for both aviation security reasons and practical concerns.
On the other hand, perhaps the X-47B is just a convenient cover story, and it really is a captured flying saucer. We'll leave it to you to decide.

LOL.. because most alien craft have rubber tire landing gear? ;D
Quote'As part of the program's demonstration, the X-47B will perform arrested landings and catapult launches at Pax to validate its ability to conduct precision approaches to the carrier,' a military press release said.
'The base is one of only a few sites in the world where the Navy can run performance tests on aircraft-carrier catapult operations at a land-based facility with flight test and engineering support resources not available on a ship.'
