Question of the Week

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • A recent AVweb poll on a UK report explaining UFOs as terrestrial or mundane phenomena revealed widely split opinions among respondents.
  • The previous poll results showed nearly equal percentages agreeing with the report, believing there might be more to UFOs, or reserving judgment, with a small group citing personal, unexplainable experiences.
  • This week's AVweb poll asks readers for their views on diesel piston-engines for aircraft, driven by concerns over rising fuel costs, the potential scarcity of 100LL, and production issues from traditional manufacturers.

*** PREVIOUS RESULTS ***

Last week, AVweb asked whether or not you believe the “secret” report from the U.K. that UFOs are mainly terrestrial aircraft and mundane (if unidentifiable) weather phenomena.

Votes were split nearly evenly:

  • 29% of you agreed with the down-to-earth assessment of UFOs

  • another 29% said “there might be something to this UFO thing”

  • only slightly more of you (33%) are straddling the fence and reserving judgement on UFOs

A small (but notable) 9% of you said no way to the U.K. report, citing personal experiences that couldn’t be explained away so easily.

*** THIS WEEK’S QUESTION ***

Engines: With the rising cost of fuel, fears (founded or not) that 100LL may one day dry up, and production problems hitting long-established manufacturers, how do you feel about diesel piston-engines?
