Well i live on the other side of the atlantic..in Manchester, england.. and i've seen some pretty weird things around here.. i heard somewhere it's where people like BAE test there new planes out or something.

Anywho every tuesday night or so.. at about midnight.. i hear this really weird sounding aircraft circling.. it's not like a jet noise..or a propeller.. it's like a woooshing sound..it's really hard to describe.. and at times it goes really loud and sounds like a jet..with a booming noise.. and then the sound dissepears completley..then it comes back..

After a while i got sick of this and looked out of the window and i saw a weird shaped plane..true it was at night..so i couldn't make it out properley..but it didn't have any strobe lights on it..and there was one very faint white light on it.. In my opinion i think it was an unmanned vehicle..because it didn't look very big, also the engine noise was weird so who knows?

I also live near this big hill called winter hill, and theres 100's of sightings up there every year of weird triangles and stuff..and i remember in the newspaper a few years ago, someone photographed this weird triangle looking plane in the day!!! so it was really clear.. it looked like a cross between the space shuttle and normal aircraft..it was so weird.. and it was an uncanny resemblance to the white halo aircraft i think it's called.. the white triangle one? Some expert guy came in and actually said it's where the military do test flights or something.. Anywho..has anyone ever seen anything like these 2 aircraft before? i'll try and get a picture the next time it flys over.

It could be a prototype that uses a fanwing... Fan Wing

Check out the vids! it might sound like it, the fan wing is also capable of very very slow flight...it's also STOL (Short Take Off and Landing).

Why not try to make pictures or film a video? or atleast record the noise it makes, i'm sure it will be very interesting.
