We draw our own pictures and don’t use other people’s photographs. Every picture on this site is our own simplified drawing.
Our own drawings
- A night-sky drawing. Low on the left, a very bright point labelled Venus, third brightest thing in the sky. A diagonal line of evenly spaced dots labelled a Starlink train. Top right, a high balloon. In the middle, a small drone with a red and a green light. Over a dark hill, a smooth saucer-shaped lenticular cloud. Top left, a short streak labelled a meteor.
Our own drawing - A sketch of two snow-capped mountains, Mount Rainier on the left and Mount Adams on the right. Between them, nine small shapes like the heel of a shoe fly in a long slanting line. A dashed red arrow runs from Rainier towards Adams with the note: he timed them, about 1,200 mph, some accounts say 1,700. Top left, a small red light plane. A box at the bottom right shows the heel-like shape he drew for the Air Force.
Our own drawing - A drawing of a white high-altitude balloon on a line, with a diamond-shaped radar target hanging below it, labelled a box-kite-like device made of foil-covered paper on a balsa wood frame. On the ground at the right lie small pieces labelled tinfoil, rubber strips and sticks, what the rancher found.
Our own drawing - Two bars drawn to scale. The long bar is 12,618 sightings reported to Project Blue Book and its earlier projects from 1947 to 1969. The short red bar is 701 still unidentified, about one report in eighteen.
Our own drawing - A rough sketch map. A runway labelled RAF Woodbridge sits above a block of trees labelled Rendlesham Forest. To the right is the coast and the North Sea, with a small red-topped lighthouse labelled Orford Ness lighthouse, flashed every five seconds. A dashed red line of sight runs from the forest to the lighthouse.
Our own drawing - A side-on diagram. A jet at the top left flies at about 435 mph. A dashed red line of sight runs down from the jet, through a small object about 13,000 feet above the sea, to the sea surface 4.2 miles further on. A note says the object was moving about 40 mph, like the wind.
