What I find curious, is that some of these Triangles are an excess of a mile wide from wing to wing and block the sky out into total darkness. Why do we need something so massive for? And why are they being flown over heavily populated areas?
Those are some questions that need to be answered.
[edit on 11-5-2010 by -Blackout questioned why they would be so huge.
(A reply to Blackout's quote is directly below. Sorry for my confusion!)
The answer to your question is: A mile-wide craft that has virtually unlimited lifting capabilities because it does not us air for lift can carry a whole regiment of troops, tanks, cargo, etc.
Consider that this new mode of locomotion absolutely out-dates all types of long-distance, heavy-lifting modes. Even navies, with cargo and armed vessels will be obsolete, even if these craft must stay within the atmosphere. Given the capability to operate in space also, as I'm sure is part of their characteristics, they are the greates weapon evern designed by Man. And you can thank the flying saucer chaps for giving us the idea for them if nothing else.
Why else would we not have a shuttle backup?
Do you seriously think we would allow other nations to forge ahead in space?
Smoke and mirrors, folks, smoke and mirrors.

Unlimited size --- The bigger it gets the better it flies.
Efficiency increases with grid area. Distributing airflow around the grid edge becomes proportionately less important in larger craft.
The reason: Grid area increases faster than circumference with growing size.
"We'll be able to build them as big as a city block" claimed de Seversky.
High speed --- No practical speed limit has been determined.
The ions themselves flash from emitter to grid impart to the very high-velocity impulse.
Aerodynamic drag would be the chief speed-limiting factor.
But, streamlining of the grid edge and careful contouring of the craft, could minimize air drag.
Safety --- No moving parts in propulsion and no wear, means less chance of failure, simpler maintenance.
