im just going to go with compression artifacts as to not get all conspiratorial

Well here is a HQ copy of it so you can run it through PS too. then lets compare.

You know, the more I think of it, that shape reminds me of the YF-23 Black Widow but without the tail fins.

OH its ok. lol. And yeah it does remind me at first glance of the yf-23 until y a look closer and notice the bent in th e wing instead of the diamond straight edge of th e YF-23. seeing the bent in th ewing gives it away as not one though.

What are the odds of seeing the green flame in the western Texas panhandle? I'm convinced that I saw something last night.

a reply to: Wtexsky

Can you describe the sighting?

a reply to: Wtexsky

It's come home over Texas in the past depending on where the target location was.

About 2:15am the dog was whining and I walked outside to let her out. My backyard faces towards the north and it was just slightly north/northwest of where I was standing. I saw first one quick light green burst in the sky and then just west of where I saw that I saw another. It appeared that the object was travelling from east to west headed from Texas towards New Mexico.

Do you think we will see a day the green flame in the public light ?

a reply to: darksidius

No. It'll probably spend its entire life in the dark.

A genuine question, why do you think that ? Surely as time goes on and tech gets even better, it will eventually be superceeded and then made public ?

a reply to: nelloh62



there are allot of things that are still in the dark from the late 80's and will never come out.


my personal white whale is the escort for the F-117

a reply to: Zaphod58

I concure. that bird is capable. speeds not her only trick. she probably shouldn't see the light of day. not her planform. not her specs. not her tricks. nice ace up the sleeve for the usa.


doom on you China and russia.

Great chance for the pilots to fly in it

A very good chance the flame is with the good guys the green is the colour of hope

Try the seventies. I can think of a couple of things from the late 70s into the 80s that almost no one has ever seen. Some that were demonstrators, some that actually flew missions and went into active service.

a reply to: Zaphod58
I hate it when you say things like that's .. The thought of knowing that what you say is true makes me drool at the thought of what actual tech gets kept dark and wanting to know the truth makes my brain erupt

a reply to: Zaphod58
Also a legitimate yet probably stupid questions, but when this aircraft returns to base would it be kept in a hanger on top of the ground, would the idea of this aircraft being stored below ground (don't ask me how) be a silly thing to think about

Not that im a pro at researching but obviously reading things on ATS especially about Bob Lazars claims of hangers being under mountains could this be a possibility. Or is this just a stupid assumption

What makes you think she's a "land lubber"? Wouldn't it be even more secret to launch and return from a platform that moves and is surrounded by literally miles of emptiness?

a reply to: Krakatoa

I've seen it heading out to sea coming from the desert.

looked like it was launching out of Edwards.

but always possible China lake if really navy. both are sorta right next to each other. i feel prob edwards though. when launching from so. cal. at least.


probably spends most of her time forward deployed though to maximize her talents. maybe living the good life some where in the islands. tropicana express?

That sounds more like a meteorite. Aircraft would probably have a fast moving yellow dot, and at times (only some part of flight when they're using the go-juice) a steady emerald straight streak behind it.

(Jedi hand wave) It was not coming out of Edwards. You saw nothing. You want to go home and rethink your life.

She's far too big for that.
