In reply to the discussion: Navy Pilots Report Seeing Unidentified Flying Objects Over East Coast: NYT [View all]trev
(1,480 posts)when silent, black triangular craft were seen all over the country. The military criticized Jimmy Carter for making it public. But according to this article, the Navy is instructing its pilots to report sightings. Why would they do that if these are highly classified experimental aircraft--ie, something the military knows about?
BTW, I've seen a Stealth Bomber in action, at Scott AFB back in the 1990s. It flew at 500 feet above the landing field. The day was cloudy, and although the announcer kept telling us where the plane was coming from, none of us could see it. Suddenly it just appeared out of the clouds and drifted silently past us. I remember thinking that I could understand why people thought it was an alien spacecraft.
Quite awesome.
