Always wondered if that was what Kenneth Arnold actually saw in 1947...

The ‘First’ UFO – Kenneth Arnold Sighting
https://www.davidreneke.com/the-first-ufo-kenneth-arnold-sighting/

Arnold estimated that the objects were flying at an altitude between 9,500 and 10,000 feet, and at a great speed. After clocking them from Mt. Ranier to Mt. Adams, he arrived at an estimated speed of 1,200 miles per hour. “It seemed impossible,” he said, “but there it is…I must believe my eyes.”................

The term “flying saucer” was coined, not by Arnold, but a reporter. Arnold made the statement that the objects moved, “like a saucer would if you skipped it across the water.” East Orengonian newspaper reporter Bill Bequette paraphrased Arnold’s statement when he placed the story on the AP news wire. Arnold’s term “saucer-like” became “flying saucers.”

Eliminating the Tail

Interest in a flying wing dates from the early days of aviation. It was understood that a fuselage and a tail provided stability and control for an airplane—but that they also created drag, which reduced aerodynamic efficiency.

Lagonda Vision Concept
It has been 71 years since Lagonda was acquired by Aston Martin, and for most of that time it has been the most somnolent of sleeping partners. No longer. Lagonda is set to be revived as a full-fledged luxury EV brand aimed at the long-lived plutocratic duopoly of Rolls-Royce and Bentley. The Lagonda Vision concept revealed at the Geneva auto show isn’t a finished production car (and almost no technical details about it have been shared). Rather, it’s a manifesto piece that, we’re promised by company executives, accurately reflects how radical we can expect the first Lagonda sedan to be when it goes on sale in 2021
