Hi BlasteR, thanks for your reply.
You are right about that, they where mistaken this time, but despite they where mistaken they still has behind the scenes total control over it in my opinion.
And not only in this case but so many others as well.
They still control the important BIG media so to speak and therefore the BIG majority of the people.
Because those people still think that this phenomenon is nothing more then misinterpretations or secret new military stuff, definitely not Aliens, because the military says for decades now that they don’t exist.
And those two are very powerful joker cards they use to keep it under wrap.
Look for instance how it really goes in the Larry King shows with this phenomenon, yes it is live, yes there are people/witnesses who may tell the story, but on the other hand, they [those who controls the show] has always one or more professional debunkers in the show and the BIG majority of the people still think that they are telling the truth.
But that is only my opinion of course; I really hope I am wrong.

The point goes beyond the existence of alien technology or not. What it points to as other posters said is the existence of a government within a government and US military doesn't have to answer legitimate queries from civilians. Who is in charge? What's worse is that Americans seem to think this is normal and that nobody can do anything about it!

After reading the MUFON report in its entirety, I wonder why nobody appears (as far as I can see) to place the following interpretation on the events.

The whole thing was a demonstration, planned, prepared and monitored by those same airforce departments who refused any useful information. I have no doubt that a large aircraft of some type overflew the area and everything the witnesses reported is true. However, I have some reservations about their ability to determine the true size of the craft. The MUFON report adheres to the visual estimates based on angular dimension, which is notoriously difficult to estimate. Very few people under these circumstances would know the difference between a degree and ten degrees. At least one witness had difficulty even understanding the concept, so the value of his statement was effectively dismissed. A slow flying 747 at 500 feet is visually gigantic, but as aircraft go, not particularly unusual.
And why no offensive action from the fighters? After all, any unidentified craft getting withing ten miles of the Bush residence would be attacked as a matter of course. This thing had an escort! The AWAC was there because of the security ramifications. Dubya was said to be not at home at the time. Maybe cos he was actually on board?

stealth (stlth)
n.
1. The act of moving, proceeding, or acting in a covert way.
2. The quality or characteristic of being furtive or covert.

Now call me picky but what apart of stealth does this sighting conform to? last time i checked the whole raison d'etre of stealth craft was to avoid detection, not fly, in plain sight, and set off every radar in the area with a return that suggests someone is flying a stadium through sovereign airspace?

Personally, if i was running a black op department and Lockheed announced they'd just spent dot suqillion dollars of developing a *stealth blimp* that lit up radars like Blackpool illuminations, it would be consigned to the big red file marked *FAIL*.

I'm not sure if anybody has asked this question before, but with what we DO know about military aviation, why would any military need an aircraft of such immensity?
We can deliver death with the size A/C we already fly.
I think most of us know the answer.
It ain't ours.
Great thread s&f

Yes, great thread, i revisited ATS and the Stephenville case for more information and watched the Larry King CNN show once more. So, nothing more then, the military explanation of 10 F-16 doing night training in the area is the only official explanation?

laughing Cat, huge aircrafts can serve as troop transport and support logistics vehicles, they would be extremely useful in a war. I come to think of the Aurora project and the TR-3B.
