Hi Pj,

Sorry my bad!

Cheers

On_yur_6 say's,

I cannot find the link right now but I also read that it was being tested with a display on the bottom of the aircraft that relayed the image from the sky above to make it appear invisible from the ground

Great Find! Could they use that technique on helicopters? There's been many times I've been standing out in this desert and hear helicopters. It sounded like they were directly above me, BUT I CAN NOT SEE THEM! I've have also seen many things in these skies... that just seem to disappear.
One time the military decided to do a Red Flag Exercise and didn't tell us citizens living in the area. It started around 9:00 p.m. PST. All of a sudden we were bombarded with low flying jets, helicopters, and those huge hueys. Needless to say, it was *a little nerve wracking*.
Finally we were told TWO DAYS LATER!

Can those reflective sky images on the bottom of the craft be turned on and off at will?

reply to an earlier post. Sound "cloaking" or masking has been around for quite awhile also. I know it has been applied to helicopters but I'm not sure about fixed wing jets. Just blast the frquency 180 out of phase that the aircraft is producing and it should cancel most noise.

I saw something almost similiar to what you report, although what I saw "dissappear" was not too far from WPAFB and in 1984.

Silly question

If a plane material is made exclusively of mirrors, wouldn't it go invisible in the sky?
Perhaps that plane switched to a reflective surface while in flight

Nope. You would see the bottom of the aircraft, which is facing the ground. And if it's facing the ground it's reflecting the ground to you for the most part. And if you see a piece of the ground flying through the sky at a couple hundred knots with an aircraft-like silhouette, you tell me what you think it is .

I think if it were physically possible you'd have more luck with glass. Aside from the mirrored surface glinting so much it'd reflect that ground. Glass would probably look like a strange distortion but unless light reflected off small areas of it it'd probably be quite transparent.

Of course I'm just guessing this is totally theoretical and I can't imagine anyone making an aircraft out of glass that would be capable of operating at all.

Most likely it would be made out of huge LCD screens affixed to the bottom of the aircraft. The video cameras would be on the top of the aircraft aiming straight up. Therefore what you see on the screens looks exactly like the sky above the aircraft.

Hey PJ.. I lived in LA for 9 years and have seen some pretty weird # over LA. Things I couldn't identify and I grew up on an AF Base (consider myself an expert). You don't sound like the typical off-his-meds whacko having a hallucination, either. You write well and I believe you. I also notice that you are a graphic artist - can you give us an approximate rendering?

I think what you saw was a stealth bomber however was it cloudy? Because if it was clear then maybe the light penetrated the material and showed the plane but when the planes went under the clouds the wasn't enough light to show it. Thats my theory but i'm just tossing them about.
The other one is that the material is activated so when you saw them they were just about to activate the material.
Lucky guy we never get to see any stuff like that in christchurch, New zealand
Cool post

This is not fiction but the truth. I witnessed in Virginia Beach, VA. back around 1991/1992 a helecopter over broad bay suddenly appeared at like around 0200 or 0300 hours. I freaked out could'nt beleive what I had witnessed??? It started with flashing blue lights kinda like heat lighting and got worse. Then a large electrical charge with lighting bolts appeared from a center point directly over broad bay...then I herd a quite slicing-sound kinda like a propeller cutting through the air absent the engine noise???. that went on for a few seconds. Then all of a sudden a helecopter appeared kinda like a philadelphia experiment teleport and then the lighting bolts and flashing lights went away and the helecopter started making noise like a normal one would it made a u-turn in the air headed in a south direction then went Northwest? After this I came to my own conclusion that the US Government has indeed perfected the philadelphia experiment into full throtle/swing topsecret operation....

Do you realize how ignorant this question is? If human beings, or indeed any animal that relies on hearing, were unable to determine direction and speed of things making sounds, we would have died out LONG ago (to predators, if nothing else).

What happens when you hear a loud or unexpected sound? You immediately turn towards that sound. EVEN INFANTS WILL DO THIS.

You can judge how high a plane is, by how far behind the plane the sound seems to be coming from. On a quiet day, you can hear jets up at cruising altitudes, and the sound seems to come from an area 3-6 inches behind the plane (from an observers perspective)

PJslug,

I've seen weird things in the sky over LA too!!! A few weeks ago I was driving on the 170. right where it goes south from the 5 heading towards the 134 when I swear I saw a black triangle. I never mentioned it before because I was stuck in traffic and it was going right over the free way. very high up, but traveling very slowly (seemingly). I thought I was just imagining things and that everybody else had to have seen it too.

I've also seen the moving zigzag star phenomena when I lived in toluca lake. it was at night time so you know it would have been impossible to have seen a satellite.

I'm living in valley village, just moved there from sherman oaks. where abouts in the SF valley are you?

I attended a college and university in that area in the early 70's. I saw lots of weird things in the sky; mostly after drinking the Electric Koolaid at parties.

Sorry, I'm in a strange mood today

Sorry to necro an old post.

I thought I saw something similar today.

I work at the London Bridge Hospital, and as i was climbing up the 4th to 5th floor of the stairwell (there are 6 floors) I saw a black low flying object fly towards us.

The background was a partially blue sky, bright sunshine and low lying clouds.

It looked like the front of the distinctive triangular cockpit of a F117A craft. I thought , cool! As far as I can tell, they do not have any authorised flights in UK, much less over london bridge.

I track the object for a good 1-2 seconds.

And looking out the next window over the Thames.
Nothing....

No distortion in the air.
No shadows cast over the bridge with pedestrians below.
No flying objects anywhere in the nearby sky.
The nearest clouds were a good 2-3 miles away.
No sound of an airplane whatsoever....

So, it has me gazumped. Indeed it has....
