#Gene Norman was hunting with William Branham on Rattlesnake Mesa in early March of 1963. Regarding their trip, he stated, “''I hunted, oh, probably about a half hour, and that blast went off. It sounded like it was just right above my head. And, I looked up, and, I didn’t see nothing. Ah, yeah, I did, I seen something, but I didn’t see the cloud in the form that it shows in the picture. When I looked up I seen two long streaks like, ah, like a plane leaving a trail. Two streaks, with a great, miles one way and miles the other way. With a spot in between. A big spot, a space in between it.'' | #Gene Norman was hunting with William Branham on Rattlesnake Mesa in early March of 1963.

#The March 1, 1963 edition of the Arizona Republic Newspaper includes an article called “Shaken Up By Sonic Booms”. This article tells of multiple sonic booms over the town of Springerville, Arizona that were being caused by aircraft from Williams Air Force Base (about 150 miles southwest of Springerville). Some of these booms were so loud they cracked windows in the town. Rattlesnake Mesa is about 88 miles southeast of the Williams AFB which a plane flying faster than the speed of sound could reach in under 7 minutes. | #The March 1, 1963 edition of the Arizona Republic Newspaper includes an article called “Shaken Up By Sonic Booms”.

Rattlesnake Mesa is about 88 miles southeast of the Williams AFB which a plane flying faster than the speed of sound could reach in under 7 minutes. This proves that sonic booms caused by military jets were common in the the area. It also provides confirmation that what Gene Norman heard and saw was likely caused by military aircraft. | ||
