Is the 'Mexican Flying Humanoid' Actually a WASP-Like Prototype? - Phantoms and Monsters Wiki





*The Williams X-Jet, created by Williams International, was a small, light-weight Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) system powered by a modified Williams F107 turbofan aircraft engine. This vehicle was nicknamed "The Flying Pulpit". It was designed to be operated by and carry one person and controlled by leaning in the direction of desired travel and adjusting the power. It could move in any direction, accelerate rapidly, hover, and rotate on its axis, staying aloft for up to 45 minutes and traveling at speeds up to 60 miles per hour (100 km/h). It was evaluated by the U.S. Army in the 1980s, and was deemed inferior to the capabilities of helicopters and small unmanned aircraft.

Other VTOL systems developed by Williams International included a jet-powered flying belt developed in 1969, which was powered by a Williams WR19 turbofan, and the WASP (Williams Aerial Systems Platform) developed in the 1970s, which was powered by the more powerful WR19-9.

This is an interesting suggestion for a possa explanation. Yes it is probably unlikely due to the shape of the object that is in the vid, but who knows..some one could have come up with something similar. I personally am leaning to ward more unknown anomaly..and even possa authentic. Who knows. it is curious to me however, that the lower and central Americas get the best unknown stuff and on video to boot.

But i doubt it, there would be no reason for the Mexican goverment to try these things if we (USA) already had given up on them. As for one being in private hands, well, I tend to think someone would have let on about it. It would seem that these are expensive and difficult to maintain, not to mention fuel gobblers.
But hey, I've been wrong before, I try to keep an open mind to all possibilities.
