[NewCandle] Nick's aluminum UFO poop.

[Keith Nagel]

You can tell from the impulse measurements that that
the motor can spit out wads of molten metal.
Why not an aluminum/sulfur composition?

Here's another recollection. When you try to
extinguish an aluminum fire with water, the results
are explosive. Imagine the following.

An aluminum tube is ignited at one end, the other
being attached to a source of high pressure water.
It might make quite an impulse engine, green and
cheap and (perhaps even) controllable. Or it might
just explode. Prolly the latter...

For some reason, it strikes me that you might find
it useful to do Sam's experiment and electrically
short the anode to the cathode after removing the power.
It might cause the reaction to happen faster.

Heyyo,

Floyd indeed.  Dude has a real Nick Mason thing going
on there, and other dude looks like David Gilmour's
twin.  What a hoot!  

The SRB aluminum idea sounds interesting... my hunch
would be the purity of that aluminum would be pretty
high.

Actually, the more recent case to come to my attention
happened about 10 years ago.  Fellow near Newark, Ohio
and his wife claimed that a large nearly silent
"backwards airplane" (little wings in front, large to
the rear) drifted over their house.  Near the aft end,
the thing appeared to be making a grinding noise. 
After it had cleared the house and flew off, fellow
and his wife found about an 8 inch roundish puddle of
metal in their yard.  It cooled quickly, and they
stuck it away until early this year, when fellow
passed it on to an Ohio MUFON rep, who passed it on in
turn to my friend Phyllis in Cleveland who did some
analysis on it and found it to be aluminum.

Now the blob I analyzed myself in 2003 was more
Fortean than UFO...  It was found in early spring of
2003 by a neighbor of my mom and dad's, in northwest
rural Ohio.  It apparently had fallen onto their
frozen yard sometime in January or February, and was
uncovered by the March thaw.  However, no UFO was seen
relative to "it" - it was just there in their yard
when the snow melted.  Having done the EDS on it
myself, I can say that at very most it was as pure as
the res of the EDS which I always finessed
conservatively to about .5%

Knowing the folks of the neighborhood pretty well, I
can say there probably aren't any rocketeers within a
couple of miles at least.  Least not since I left the
hood twenty four years ago.  Very rural.  No idea
about the Newark, Oh incident.  Probably more chance
of rocketheads down there.

If it was space junk of a more conventional sort, I
would have expected an aeronautical alloy, not high
purity soft Al.  But who knowz.


Astronomie Domine!
