What the hell was that!!

I also had the joy of seeing a vulcan flypast this year (at blackpool air show)

i doubt it was a vulcan he saw... as their hella loud ... i took a video earlier this year (and it flys more or less over my head). also the vulcan only has 1 delta wing, and no wings near the front.

i also doubt it was a typhoon, as again, their REALLY loud ... i have seen them practicing over preston and blackpool many many times.... sometimes right over where i used to work! ... (on the outskirts of preston, under the flightpath into warton..about 3 -4 miles away from warton)

heres a vulcan video ....

the strangest thing about this IS the lack of sound coming from the large craft ... if we ignore the no noise, we are looking for a craft which not only has a delta wing, but front canard wings as well! ... not only that, but its massive!

and that limits it to a few craft, one being concordski!, one being that top secret US nuke plane, and the other.... well, if its anything else i would have to say something secret.

-----------

ive been doing some internet searching, for a craft which has both delta wing and canard.... and ive came accross this little gem... now, following on from the lateral thinker and the idea that things might have looked out of perspective ....



not only does it have a canard and delta wing, but it also has a proppellor!

it does not explain what could have been in front of it. but it does cover 3 of the main aspects of this sighting.

I thought I might have a mystery plane of my own to investigate today, my wife said that when I was at work a strange and very dark aeroplane flew over our house. Intrigued, I asked her what sort of shape was it? I was hoping to come here and ask for help, but alas, she just replied 'aeropane shaped' and that was the end of that discussion.

Splendid bit of reporting, that.

How can the original poster be sure it wasn't a glider, if he can't even identify the aircraft he claims he saw to begin with?
It not logical.
Oh I saw an aircraft, I don't know what it was, but I know it wasn't a glider..sure, that's believable.

Either he saw something and doesn't know what it was, or he is making the whole thing up.

And as for it being a nuclear powered bomber or other black projects, yeah, right.
Because they spend billions developing experimental aircraft secretly with the highest security imaginable, only to fly them over peoples back yards.

And if it was a nuclear powered bomber, that was scrapped at the concept stage, but secretly continued and built, there is even less of a chance it will be flown over peoples homes.


Some times I really wonder about the crap that gets posted on this site, and the people posting it and responding.
I know we all like to think of the possibilities and what is kept from us, it excites me too thinking of how far they may have gotten with advanced technologies. But let's use some common sense and logical reasoning.

It's almost as bad as the lame "the world will end on this date" threads.

Why is that so unbelievable? First off, glider airplanes are pretty obvious to recognize (when considering their shape and size). Secondly, most gliders don't have any sort of engine; as he stated, he saw fumes or exhaust or whatever coming out the back.

Sure, maybe it is a glider. But to discredit this guy's whole story because he doesn't think it's a glider is a bit silly.
