Mods,

As this has obviously taken a turn into the realm of aircraft projects, can we please have it moved into that specific area?

Thanks and Peace,
Mondo

P.S.
I thought about doing a cut and paste to the thread and trying it myself, does that violate the T&C to try and reproduce it to another area?

I think people are missing an important question, even if it is the F-117, why is it flying at Groom lake? Groom Lake is R&D and what is there to research or develop on a 30+ year old(at least, IMO) craft?

I personally think it isn't the F-117, the 1st pic does look like it, but after I zoomed in, you can tell it's not the right angle, 2nd pic looks nothing like the F-117, IMO.

Great image if real, I doubt it's extraterrestrial, but it seems to be a black project craft to me.

Regarding the thread here,

There really does need to be a few things;

1) Date of picture taken

2) Orientation of aircraft..going away, coming at you, just to validate and eliminate confusion.

3) Clarity to everybody out there that this IS an aircraft project and NOT a UFO, it is unidentified so far I admit, but as many of us from the aircraft forum can assure you, it's OURS and not THIERS......for sure, just a project with some vagueness surrounding it.

4) Movement to a forum where closer, more accurate scrutiny can be made from people who have specialties in this area can contribute more easily...maybe a posting in two forums even!?

5) And No, No, and No, F 117's do not make guest appearances anymore, for any reason, they are retired and if used are for platforms of reasearch and not airshows, just like the F 14 Tomcat does not. Maybe someday in the future you could get one privately like an F 86, but I think you have a better chance of winning every lottery in the country at the same time and on the same day...just not happening gang.

With respect,
Peace,
Mondo

Great thread and it leaves me with a wonder of 'what the
heck is it?'
The triangular shape fits into a lot of sighting reports from
this site... 'what the heck is it?'

My vote:

It's this guy:



1: F117 is retired - none were flying (officially) on the date the photo was (allegedly) taken.

2: Vertical stabilizer/empenage match

3: (Alleged) Location

4: Apparent parallax

I agree that more info/data from the OP would be immensely helpful here. Ampaf707: can we get a few more details? E.g., time/sounds/conditions/other traffic/speed/frequency/pre&post observances, etc... Thanks...

Did the OP ever post the negatives? I've been through about 6 pages and haven't seen it yet. Until then its very nicely done CGI but not the real deal.

A very small handful have asked for this and I have noted some troublesome problems as well but it seems the majority don't want to deal with those questions.

I just thought of this, what if the camera does not use film and is purely a digital camera. =0 But it does raise suspicion that the OP hasn't even tried to comment on the fact we want more information.

Don't get me wrong I'd love for these to be real. But like others we've seen this sort of thing so many times and to convince us we simply need more information.
