@realannapaulina Here is my research into the USAF/USN drone commonly hyped as "the gimbol UFO" please put this at the top of your UFO declassification/Bunking task force. My thread includes nonclassified photos and articles where it appeared in 1993-1995 "popular mechanics"

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

The "Gimbal UFO" It's not Alien it's French.

Frankly I am tried of debunking the "Gimbal UFO" so I am creating this article and encourage you to bookmark it and post it every time someone brings it up. The vehicle first appeared in the August 1993 issue of Popular Mechanics @PopMech and then again in the June 1995 issue is called "Marvel" and is made by Burt Rutan. photos below.

What follows is the full article transcribed by me from the JUNE 1995 issue of Popular Mechanics on page 32 not authorship is attached to the original article or drawings that appears in the magazine.

"Drones Of The Ocean Blue COLLEGE PARK, MD___ Free-wing tilt-bodies (see Tech Update, Page 15, Aug. '93) will see action at sea. Under a contract from the French navy, Mantra and Freewing Aerial Robotics are putting one of the unmanned air vehicles aboard a frigate.

The free-wing concept suits ship-board operations. In flight, the vehicle can tilt its body---and hence its propeller---independently of its wings. The result: vectored thrust that permits near-vertical takeoffs and land-ings without the need for nets.

The Bert Rutan-designed Scorpion free-wing (renamed Marvel for the French experiments) will work with a Mantra-designed command and control system. Reconnaissance is the drone's forte---it can vector its thrust, to pass slowly over a target of interest. If the vehicle proves shipshape, it could also find work in the commercial world spotting fish for ocean trawlers. "
***
That concludes Popular Mechanics article. Their article contains several occurrences of three dashes (---) this was likely done to ensure proper spacing when printing the magazine. The text below their drawings state "A free-wing tilt-body can cock its fuselage to vector thrust from the propeller". I have the June 1995 issue in my collection but do not have the Aug 93 issue referenced but would love to see and read it.

Do you or someone you know have a copy of the 1993 issue mentioned above? Does this help clear up that whole UFO UAP chatter? Should I charge you like the Ufologists in a meet and great?

Nothing but bots "following" me. Yet non of them are space related.

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

How many launches will @SpaceX have this year?

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

So, it is likely, that if we induce an ionosphere (which will start generating lightning strikes) and heat up the planet, which microwaving martian dust particles will do, then the atmosphere will return.

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

Where is #Mars atmosphere? I suggest we will find it liquefied and frozen deep in the caverns under the martian crust. Has Mars lost it's heat all the gasses would have slowly turned into liquid and sank, like all liquids do, into every crack and hole it could reach.

@PolarisProgram love that hair!!!!

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

Wondering if I should get a Hybrid or a Tesla. My Ford is in the shop once again and they want $600 to "find the problem" with the short in the LR wheel. I paid over $6k in less than a year for a new transmission and this vehicle has been broke 11 of 11 years.

Elon's quip about building an iron suit is a bit unrealistic. Iron is to heavy. Perhaps Honeycomb tin suit would be light enough. Perhaps Microdrones that put themselves in projectile path is more realistic.

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

@Kitpecs @FelixSchlang would be funnier to have the CCP rocket video, accidentally taking off, and the actual sound from the LEEEEROOOOOY JENKINSSSSSSSSSS video. still put a smile on my face. Side note, in AfghanIraq when we had to rush out to confront Leeroy jenkins would play over the loud speaker.

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

@Space_Station @NASA or is it ULA still leaking and this is a cover story?

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

telomeres, gene deterioration and dna replication issues as "cleaning out the junk" can only do so much.

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

This article is the equivalent of saying Gene Roddenberry thinks we will fly to other galaxies soon. https://t.co/GKU1KoK799 With that said, nanobots will one day be able to remove the trash from our blood, bring nutrients directly to where needed and remove individual bad

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

cells in the human body. Is that soon? who knows. Will it cause us to live to 1000 (absent accidents and murder)? Maybe but we won't know until the first person actually lives that long because of nanobots. However, even with nanobots, we still have to deal with shrinking

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

The fastest way to heat up Mars/moon is for NASA to turn on the satellites they claimed years ago that they have, which creates a magnetosphere and ionosphere. This would initiate lightning strikes which would heat up the core and thus the celestial bodies.

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

@cnunezimages which one is Janet?

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

If #starship can make it to Uranus then it will be able to bring gasses and water to the Moon/Mars for use by colonies!!!

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

Cheapest way to "scrub" oxygen it likely compressing gases into a liquid & allowing a "boil off" of just the gas you want separated. Using actual weight to push down & hydraulics to later push the weight up followed by pumping more air into the tank. also moss farms are cheap.

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

Plants move nutrients by evaporating water from it's leaves causing a suction of water in the soil. I wonder what effect if any the use of negative and/or positive pressure in cloning a plant would be. + on rooting end - on other end/side.

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

in theory, sats communicating to starlink instead of to ground stations means less costly and less weight communication system could be installed on the sats while also providing no communication down time.

[RabbitsOnMars @MarsRabbitFarm]

While everyone comments on #spacex #starship flap, I would like to say that #starlink space terminals did a great job and shows that there is a future product for starlink to provide communication services for other peoples satellites. This would save weight and $ for sats.
