Jim, I personally think that it's a Sanswire 2 prototype. Could it be one of the Sky Dragons? I guess that's possible, but it doesn't appear to be using the same material as the Sky Dragon and nor are we seeing the segmentation in the design of the Sky Dragon.

It's possible this is Sanswire 2, but we're seeing a much more accelerated and modified hybrid between the best of both designs.

Or in other words - I guess we'll find out what's what very soon from the looks of things here. That really is the main point to seeing these photographs, is it not? The nay-sayers would have had us believe that Sanswire 2 was no where being built - yet here is concrete evidence that suggests otherwise. Now they would have us believe that we should have 'expected something else'?

I'd love to ask the bashers to make up their minds in that approach, but I can quickly gather here today that this isn't going to happen. Once they see something positive, they try to pounce all over it as if it's irrelevent.

Like I say - I'm still shocked the authorities haven't stepped in to investigate the bashers.

"Sanswire President Robert A. Jones said March 31 that the company’s Sanswire 2 vehicle, measuring 38 meters long and 8 meters wide, will attempt to position itself at 6,858 meters in altitude for periods of at least several hours, and perhaps overnight.

Tests of the first prototype, Sanswire 1, were conducted in May 2005 in Florida, and an initial floating test of Sanswire 2 was completed Feb. 28 in Palmdale, Calif."
