I am currently looking for my SR-71 file yfxxx. Exactly what is it that you are having a problem with? That the A-11 was ordered? Or the number of the A-11's? Or that Col. Brewer authorized it?
If you can be more specific maybe I can help you.
You seem to be antagonistic in each of your posts. Is there a problem?

The sighting would've been isolated to military families and their dependants mostly, because there weren't really any buildings on that side of the airfield that civilians would need to use.
Besides, they know there will always be people like you that wouldn't believe such a report anyway. So, a rare visit, for purposes of a bombing run, would not be a security issue. What's the military dependent going to say, that I haven't already.
DON'T call me a liar.

I didn't. You only forwarded a witness's story, and I pointed out a severe implausibility in this story.

So i don't think it's that much of a stretch of the envelope to consider a military craft, could drop in over the base, go along the flight line, simulate a bombing run and go back up again before it even made it to the other end of the base.
They don't build these things and leave them in the hangars. They use 'em. Not to mention, the flight line at Hill AFB is over 4700 ft above sea level and quite a bit higher up than the valley area where the bulk of the civilian population exists. Because it sounds to be a stealth type of craft, no one would've heard it coming till it started the bombing run, anyway.

1. The existence of the A 12 is being disputed??

Is this a fairly accurate description of the thread at this time?? I keep seeing the thread title, "Mystery plane identified (theory)" pop up in the forum page but am just wondering if everybody is talking about one plane or many or if there have been too many tangents created now?? It's just hard to follow as a late looker is all. Thanks for any clarification!
Peace, Mondo

There is much evidence that the "Phoenix lights" ( en.wikipedia.org... ) were nothing more than flares. So they are probably not the best example for your case.
It is a stretch, when compared to the effort the USAF made to keep the existence of the F-117 secret before 1988. They didn't fly it in front of military personnel who was not cleared to know. And an aircraft with the capabilities described by your husband would be way beyond anything even imaginable by "conventional" science and engineering, so that displaying it almost casually in front of onlookers is a really big stretch.

"Stealth" does not mean "inaudible".
Anyway, was the incident "talk of the day" on the base in any way? I.e., did your husband ask other base personnel about the aircraft, and if so, what was he told? Did he have to sign any non-disclosure statements (ok, apparently not, since he told you about it)?

So far this is what I am understanding.
1. The existence of the A 12 is being disputed??
2. John Lear is claiming to have lots of proof of orders but not providing anything yet?[
pretty much it would be helpfull to build on the story.
3.Yfxx and Undo are having a debate over the possibility of secret flights over Hill AFB that military families may have seen?
Nope not at all, just talking about it and getting images and papers.
4. A 11 existence is being disputed?

Is it possible to get a wingspan in ft that your husband thinks it was did he see any exhaust or cockpit or did it really black out the sky? For my self I've seen the B-52 a big bomber and it did not black out the sky at even 500/1000 ft. and it passed right over me. colour markings did it have roundels etc?
a sketch would be killer if he could.

Okay, hubby's home. This is his answer:
"I was the air field entry control point guard. Ihad to stand guard at the control point, to assure no simulated terrorists or enemy combatants entered the airfield. It was an additional duty, at the time. I knew it was War Games time, but no one told me about the Bombing Run by this particular aircraft. the windows for all facilities had black plastic bags taped over them. And everyone inside the buildings, were directed to take cover under their desks. Most everyone would've not been aware of it at all, as they were under blackout conditions, under their desks. I just happened to see it because i had been tasked to do the guard duty.
i didn't have to sign anything, nor was i made aware of it being a part of the War Games. in fact, i think it might have been a surprise to everyone intimately involved, who saw it. maybe it even bypassed the control tower with stealth. i don't know. "

It was one of our very advanced anti-grav vehicles, probably several hundred feet long. Anti-grav does not make any noise.
