The Light Gate Welcomes GUESTS: researchers Michael Schratt & James C. Goodall Date: April 28, 2025 Time: 5-7 pm pacific / 8-10 pm eastern Episode 195 Discussion: UFOs, Black Projects, Reverse-Engineering, Current Events in Ufology Tonight, “The Light Gate,” welcomes back two guests: Michael Schratt & James Goodall for Part Two of a unique roundtable discussion about secret advanced aircraft and UFOs. Michael Schratt is private pilot, military aerospace historian, longtime UFO researcher, lecturer, draftsman, an expert on classified ‘black projects,” UFO crash/retrievals, the government UFO coverup and more. He is the author of “DARK FILES: A Pictorial History of Lost, Forgotten and Obscure UFO Encounters.” He is a frequent guest on radio shows and podcasts. He has appeared on Coast to Coast and many other major podcasts, and regularly speaks at UFO conferences including, Contact in the Desert. His book, DARK FILES, presents 61 fully illustrated UFO encounters from around the world. These cases were obtained from real world "boots on the ground" research by gaining access to university archives, multiple UFO research centers, and private collections. All cases presented contain references so that the reader can verify them on their own. Every effort was taken to portray these cases accurately from eyewitness accounts and reports, thereby preserving an important part of our global history. This publication contains never before seen illustrations which make these historically significant UFO cases "come alive.” James C. Goodall is a published author with 27 books in print. He is a former Docent at Kitt Peak National Observatory, former Associate Curator at Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, former Restoration Manager on the MoFs deHavilland Comet Mk 4C at The Museum of Flight, and a former Master sergeant at United States Air Force. He studied Business marketing at University of Minnesota. He is a recognized authority both on low-observable aircraft, such as the F-117, B-2A, the Lockheed ‘twins' (F-22 and F-35) and the Lockheed Skunk Works family of Blackbirds, and the US Navy's fleet of modern-day fast attack and ballistic missile submarines. He has been photographing and writing about ‘spooky' military aircraft, naval ships and submarines for the past 35 years, and his last book, 75 years of the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, was published by Osprey in 2021.

From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Friday, November 8th and I'm Keith Ippolito. Lockheed Achieves Milestone in Unmanned Naval Aviation Lockheed Martin, the U.S. Navy, and General Atomics achieved a groundbreaking milestone in unmanned aviation with the first live control flight of a drone using the Unmanned Carrier Aviation Mission Control Station. The demonstration involved the General Atomics MQ-20 Avenger, an unmanned combat aircraft, controlled via Lockheed Skunk Works' Multi-Domain Combat System autonomy platform. This system, developed by Skunk Works, offers autonomy, mission planning, and command capabilities. Navy pilots in Maryland successfully controlled the MQ-20 in California, showcasing beyond line-of-sight capabilities. This test marks a significant step in developing the control station, crucial for future Navy unmanned operations. John Clark of Skunk Works highlighted the collaboration's success in integrating the MQ-20 with UMCS, demonstrating common control and third-party platform integration. Lt. Steven Wilster emphasized the demo's importance in advancing unmanned naval aviation, crucial for addressing current and future threats. For more news about our community, visit mdjonline.com.

El SR-71, conocido extraoficialmente como Blackbird o Habu, es un avión de reconocimiento estadounidense con largo alcance y muy alta velocidad que alcanza más de Mach 3. El avión fue desarrollado a partir de los aviones Lockheed YF-12A y A-12 por Lockheed Skunk Works. El SR-71 voló entre 1964 y 1998. De los 32 aviones construidos, 12 se estrellaron, ninguno de ellos en combate. El SR-71 es también el jet más rápido del mundo con una velocidad máxima de Mach 3.3, es decir, que vuela a 3.3 veces la velocidad del sonido. A velocidades tan altas, la presión del aire en rápido aumento frente al avión hace que la superficie sea tan caliente que no se puede mover sin quemarse. Los componentes están diseñados con respecto a la expansión térmica, lo que significa que el fuselaje pierde combustible cuando hace frío. Durante casi 25 años, el ala de reconocimiento estratégico de la Fuerza Aérea de los EE.UU. cuyo acrónimo es “SRW”, Utilizó el SR-71 Blackbird en misiones secretas en todo el mundo.. Apreciemos el testimonio…

We welcome James C. Goodall! Jim is a published author with 24 books in print, and with book No 25 (a pictorial history of the Seawolf/Virginia class nuclear submarines) in the final stages of going to press. He is a recognised expert on low-observable aircraft such as the F-117, B-2A, the Lockheed 'twins' (F-22 and F-35), and the Lockheed Skunk Works family of Blackbirds. Photographing and writing about 'spooky aircraft' for the last 35 years, he is also an acknowledged expert on Area 51 as it pertains to flight-testing classified aircraft in a remote location. His very first book, co-authored with Bill Sweetman, was the first volume in print on the F-117, and it sold more than 60,000 copies. James's seven previous books with SquadronSignal have sold a minimum of 3500 copies to a maximum of 17,000 copies. Even the $100 US Blackbird Flight Manual that was published by Motorbooks in 1990 sold 1,500 copies in 15 months. His Blackbird pictorial from Schiffer (published in May 2018) is considered by many in the 'Spooky aircraft' world to be the most complete pictorial ever assembled on the subject.

Foundations of Amateur Radio When you finally get to the point of pushing the talk button on your microphone, after passing the test, receiving your license, getting your radio, building an antenna, digesting the manual, identifying a repeater, untangling its offset, programming those frequencies and keying up, you might be surprised to realise that you're lost for words. Something which I've talked about before. Even if you do have something to say, finding a person to say it to will be the next big challenge. Truth be told, the more frequencies you have to choose from, the harder it seems to discover a fellow amateur and with Internet connected repeater networks, your choice appears infinite. So, how do you initiate communication on a repeater? Do you call CQ, ask for a signal check, or just kerplunk the repeater to prove that your signal is getting in? The very first thing to remember is that you have the exact same rights as every other amateur. No amateur is above any other, though hearing some conversations or responses might give you a different impression. Before you embark on a long speech, what you need to remember is that your ability to receive is not usually the same as your ability to transmit. If you're using a low-powered hand held radio that's tuned to a local repeater, you might be comparing your little stubby antenna, inside your home, held at an angle, with that of a high power repeater, with a high-gain antenna bolted to a tower installed on the top of a hill. In other words, you can hear the repeater much better than it can hear you. You'll quickly observe that there are amateurs about who have their radio on all day long and they'll often hear every single transmission that hits the local repeater and even random frequencies. Sometimes this means that you'll have a great friend to talk to, other times it means that you'll have a local troll who in their not so humble opinion determines what is permitted and what's not. So, to get things rolling, you should follow the KISS principle, an aim championed by the lead engineer of the Lockheed Skunk Works in 1960, Kelly Johnson, "Keep it simple stupid.". With keeping things simple, there is a fierce and ongoing debate around the use of the phonetic alphabet on a repeater. With the benefit of experience, having run a weekly radio net for over a decade I'm going to be blunt. When you're identifying yourself to the rest of the community, always use phonetics. Only if you've been acknowledged and you're part of the conversation should you even consider dropping your phonetic callsign. The reason is that your first transmissions will be regularly interrupted by others since they're having a conversation and you'll be butting in. Even if a net controller asks for check-ins, you should use phonetics, since you might not be the only one who keys up at the same time. If you and the controller have known each other for years and they recognise your voice, you could consider dropping the phonetics, but don't expect everyone to know who you are from a single letter getting through. Some people are better at this than others. Whatever you do, don't barge in with a whole story until you've been acknowledged and the microphone has been handed to you. After all, this is a public shared space. The next thing to consider is the audience you're talking to. If the repeater is just local, then the people within range are likely to expect your prefix and know who you are, so just your call might suffice, but if you connect to a network, that's not likely to be true. If you want to actually talk to anyone, you can call CQ, but if you just want to let people know you're there, you can say your callsign followed by the word "listening". If you want to speak with a specific individual on the other hand, you can call them using their phonetic callsign, either with or without the CQ. Also consider they might be on the other side of their shack working hard at attempts to avoid sniffing solder fumes and take a moment to get to the microphone. In other words, what you say on your repeater depends on what result you want and who else is there. Sometimes there will be a mismatch between the two, just saying your callsign might initiate an hour long conversation, and calling CQ might give you the local troll telling you to go away. Don't let that dissuade you. Even with years of practice, sometimes the results are unexpected. Talking on a repeater is like being invited to a party. There are going to be people you know, people you want to know and people you never want to meet again. So, be considerate, listen more than you talk and be deliberate in your intentions and you'll be fine. Thanks to Sandip EI7IJB for the question, "What are the rules for calling CQ on a repeater?" If you have other burning questions, get in touch and ask. I'll try to give you a coherent answer. I'm Onno VK6FLAB
A mediados de la década de 1970, la NASA estudió los vehículos hipersónicos como proyectos bajo la designación general "X-24C". El concepto de la Lockheed Skunk Works para el X-24C fue el diseño L301. El L301 iba a ser propulsado por cohetes y / o scramjet, y fue diseñado para velocidades de hasta Mach 6.65 a 28000 metros de altitud. Los SCRAMJETs Una cosa siempre ha sido cierta acerca de los cohetes; cuanto más lejos y más rápido quieras ir, más grande debe ser el cohete que has de utilizar. ¿Por qué? Los cohetes combinan un combustible líquido con oxígeno líquido para crear empuje. Si se elimina la necesidad de oxígeno líquido la nave espacial que empuje el cohete, puede ser más pequeña o transportar más carga útil. Esa es la idea detrás de un sistema de propulsión diferente llamado "Scramjet o Ramjet” de combustión supersónica. El oxígeno que necesita el motor para la combustión se toma de la atmósfera que pasa a través del vehículo, en lugar de almacenarse en un tanque a bordo. La nave se vuelve más pequeña, más ligera y más rápida. Sintamos el relato…

Jim Goodall as he says studies the "spooky stuff", area 51, alien craft, the tr3b, which is the black triangular craft that we have possibly not guaranteed. But we get into all this as well as his friendships with the notorious Bob Lazar and legendary John Lear. Also Jim talked about what it was like to go out in to the desert back in the day to spy on what the govt was launching into the air. Jim says in the interview "You used to have to wear kevlar around your pantlegs", this was so you didnt get bitten by scorpions or rattlesnakes. This was a really fun show i think your all going to enjoy it. About Jim Goodall: How did a kid who grew up in the middle of a former apricot orchard that is now called Silicon Valley end up as one of the worlds' leading experts on the Lockheed Skunk Works, Area 51 and things that go “bump” in the night? It started with a handful of random events. My very first exposure, and ultimately my love for all things Skunk Works and airplanes in general, began with a brief encounter that cemented my fascination and love for airplanes. The time was 1950/51. We lived in a duplex not far from what was the small San Jose Municipal Airport. I was about 5 years old and had gone to bed just before sunset. I was getting settled in when my Dad came into my room and said… “There's something coming, and I think you should see it.” We went outside looking toward the Coast Mountains. Low over the peaks came not one, not two, but twenty-four Convair B-36 Peacemaker heavy bombers on the way to Travis AFB. I was hooked. Fast forward to the spring of 1968, after working for the air force on telemetry systems on some of their most special Aircraft, some of the things most men dont get to see today In the spring of 1968, via the US Postal Service, I formally asked Lockheed, the United States Air Force, the Department of Defense, and the Central Intelligence Agency for unclassified photos the of the SR-71 on the ground or in the air. I was willing to pay the published rate for color 8x10s. I was turned down and never received any of the photos I had requested. The year 1975 was a watershed year; my dear friend, John Andrews, introduced me to an aviation character named John Lear, the son of the “Father of the Lear Jet,” William Lear. It was through Lear that we discovered a path to the top of White Sides Mountain, 2,000 feet above our camp site location. On top of the mountain was an unobstructed panoramic view of the once very secret, Area 51. November 1988: After seeing and photographing the Lockheed Skunk Works F-117 for the first time along the fenceline at Tonopah Test Range (TTR), John Lear and I headed back to Las Vegas. We arrived at John's home about 9:15 PM, and ten minutes later a young man showed up. I had print film that needed to be processed and all of the FotoMats (way before digital photography) were closed. I wouldn't know if any of my images were any good until well into the next day. John's friend told me he had a Kodak C-41 film processor at his home. That friend was a guy named Bob Lazar. We needed to head back to John's friend's home to process some film. There in living color was the very first non-DoD, or Lockheed photo, of the first operational stealth fighter, the F-117A Senior Trend. Had the Air Force, Lockheed, DoD and the CIA honored my photo requests in 1968, I would have been happy to just move along. But, as with all things government, their unofficial “official” policy was to not cooperate; so, I started digging, the more I dug, the more I found out and the deeper I dug.

I was getting settled inwhen my Dad came into my room and said… “There's something coming, and I think you should
Remember the KISS principle? Keep It Simple Stupid was a Navy design mantra in the 60's, reportedly born out of the legendary Lockheed Skunk Works.

From the long list of visionary platforms comes today's subject--an aircraft Lockheed wasn't even originally invited to contribute a proposal for: the F-117 Nighthawk, also known as the "Stealth Fighter." On this episode, retired Michigan ANG ( https://www.goang.com/locations/michigan.html ) Major Robert "Robson" Donaldson joins us to describe this once-top secret mystery craft including all the usual 'aircraft series' topics as well as a DESERT STORM story that will have you equally rolling with laughter and trembling in fear. During the listener question segment, guest co-host Tra "Fish" Calisch addresses how the term "cockpit" came to be ( https://www.quora.com/Why-is-a-cockpit-called-a-cockpit ) , the use of drop tanks, and whether high altitude training can reduce aircrew susceptibility to hypoxia.
