Jim, You're making some assumptions here. First, you're assuming that the quantity of material found on the ground represents the quantity released or created by the UFO. What lands on the ground within sight of the witnesses may represent only a minute fraction of what is actually released. If one could "stand along side" the UFO, one might see the stuff literally pouring out from, or off of the object. So, lots of it could drift away, and still leave a sufficient quantity for the witnesses below to find. You're also assuming that the material is the same size as when it left the UFO. It may be larger upon exit, which would would give it a greater initial decent rate, but shrink considerably as it decends. Perhaps more UFOs release this material than we realize, but due to the altitude it never reaches the ground at all. Another assumption is that the UFO released it's material when directly over the witnesses. It may have done so "upwind", which would allow it to drift over and down to the witnesses' location. You also assume that turbulent air conditions were present during the event. That's something that can be checked. If a high pressure system is centered over an area, and the lapse rate is low, there will be very little thermal-related movement of the air, and very little wind, so any material dropped would pretty much land underneath the source. On the other hand, your assumptions may all be correct. I hope we find out some day! Greg
