First off, I just gotta say thanks to the OP and to both of you ladies for bringing this to our attention... and a good work thumbs up goes out to to
all of you that have been hard at work on the data end. Much appreciated!
Somehow I'm left scratching my head on this one, the object in question in this footage is eerily reminiscent to a close encounter that a group of
friends and I witnessed in the mid '90s. Similar lights, lack of audible propulsion, and frankly... the same genuine emotional reaction. The things
that set this apart from all other encounters of this kind is your knowledge and experiences from skydiving, and the sheer length of this footage
lends more credibility than your average persons with a camera and a claim.
Here are a few questions, forgive me if they have already been asked or answered.
Near the end of the footage, I hear the camera operator state something to the effect that the battery light is coming on. Video tops out at the
better part of 16 minutes, approximately how long after filming ended did you have visual contact with this object(s)?
How was your visibility that night during filming?
Do you recall being able to see stars in the sky? This could maybe help to identify the apparent altitude of the object. Living next door to an air
force base I have seen and heard many planes flying in and out of formation in varying conditions. I have a hard time picking out any points of
reference in the sky here, but I also don't live where I am blessed with the perpetual Cali smog.
If it was a clear night, and could see some clouds or stars, did you happen to notice any distortion of them as it passed over you? If it was a solid
shape (or multiple small objects) did it darken the surrounding areas (background) of clouds or sky?
Did it seem intelligently controlled? Did you get the feeling that it was watching you?
Before this happened to you, what was your stance on UFO's?
I'm not trying to pry, or ask if you believe in extra-terrestrial life... In fact I'm not even going to assume at this point and say what the H you
saw was from this earth or not. Do you ever recall witnessing other unidentified flying craft before this occurrence?
Sincerely,
T.
