On June 24th, a Stealth flew right over me from Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota. What a sight! Hugemongous and it didn't make a sound! This was in the morning. It's triangular shape is the same shape I saw years ago, but I saw it at night. With lights. Anyone know if Stealths have lights on at night? :rolleyes:

 

Went to an airshow at Robins AFB last year and they did a F-117 and a B2 demostration. Not sure if it was because it was a airshow or not but neither the F-117 nor the B2 were running lights of any type including anti-collision lights. The B2 made one past at about 200ft feet dead in front of us at 375 knots and if it were not for the wind rushing over this aircraft it would have been dead silent. Gets a little loud with the engines turned up though. Oh, by the way, these aircraft's windshield produces a very powerful gold reflection when the sun shines on it right.

Sitting watching the Canada Day Parade go by on beacon avenue at 10:53 in Sidney B.C. I happened to look up into the sunny sky because I overheard a woman say that it was supposed to rain today.

I must say that I was somewhat shocked at what I saw. Two very bright lights like Polished Chrome Disks reflecting in the sun, at first I thought they were a couple of foil baloons but quickly ruled that out because they did not appear to be moveing and looked to be at a guess between 20 to 40 thousand feet up,so hard to tell except that a thin veil of cirrus was blowing in from the west at about 18 to 20 thousand, though the metar for CYYJ at 19Z said cirrus at 12 thousand but that is only someone else guessing, to. So next comes this heavy out of YVR climbing heading south and these two UFO's are slowly heading east. The haevy, I could tell was going to be above the cirrus and it was, I could still make it out through the thin cloud. It passed directly beneath the eastmost bright " thingy ",so I was able to tell that at least the two objects were well above the jet. What you should appreciate here, is that this was a Very Bright, Sunny Day and to have objects shine in the sky at that range and with that intensity and be going that slow is enough to make a believer out of the observer.

One obvious thought is the usual answer, "Weather Baloon", not likely, how big would it have to be to reflect so brightly and if it is a huge baloon ( expensive no doubt ) then why two together.

So who can you seriously tell about this and who in the Fed Department takes this seriously.

This may bring on some Smart Alec replys, hey fill your boots, I have been flying for over 30 years and have not seen anything close to this.

Just thought I should share this with some of you who could relate.

Any of you hear about te recent sigting by a FW Pilot over in the UK

I don't think we are alone up there :shock:

 

 

Hey. Days when you see things like that DO NOT FLY. IF YOU DO YOU SHALL SOON SEE THINGS EVEN MORE STRANGE THAN THAT POSSIBLY BEFORE YOU EVEN LIFT OFF OF THE GROUND!

That's about the same alt as the one that flew over me. Unfortunately, the sun was at our backs so I didn't get to see the gold. Couldn't take my eyes off it 'til it was out of sight though. An absolute technological marvel, that unbelievable silence coming from something so astonishingly huge. :) I wanna see it again! At night! With lights! :up:
