Actually, so did LoFlyte, who pointed out that they did not have a prototype flying at the time, and even if they had, it bore no resemblance to what was reported. The following letter from the website http://www.chez.com/ufocomqg/english/loflyt.html says... First, I've read the Sunday Times article and the NASA press release. With the Internet, it's so easy to informate yourself! I learn that the LoFly is drived by a neural computer network and its project is realised by the Accurate Automation Corporation in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I learn, by the Langley Research Center (NASA) that the LoFlyte was, not so long ago, a 100 inches model tested in their wind-tunnel. After that, I've written to Accurate Automation to ask what they think about the paper in the Sunday Times. The answer came few days later : October 25, 1996 Mr. Wathelet, Thank you for the interest in Accurate Automation Corporation's LoFlyte program. As you aware, The Sunday Times of London reported that "A prototype model (of LoFLYTE) was unveiled last week and has led to speculation that a secret full-size version may already have been built and be responsible for countless UFO sightings." I have since learned from you and other sources on the Internet that this story was subsequently aired on belgian television as an explanation for several UFO sightings over Belgium since 1990. LoFLYTE has never been outside of the United Staes of America. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerly, Topher Kersting, marketing coordinator. ------ Mark Cashman, creator of The Temporal Doorway at http://www.geocities.com/~mcashman - Original digital art, writing, and UFO research - Author of SF novels available at... http://www.infohaus.com/access/by-seller/The_Temporal_Doorway_Storefront ------
