That's right. Stealth was old technology by our standards. See what it did to Russia, they rushed to field stealth but didn't have the resources for many and China has been rushing to field stealth. We will show something else fancy soon and the others will burn resources trying to catch up to where we used to be.

Really? I wrote Dick Cheney a letter regarding UFOs and he sent a reply letter back to me in 2004. So you're wrong.

actually not using technology that you have and other people gives you a distinct advantage over those who don't have it.
1. They have no clue you have the tech or not
2. They have no chance of obtaining or even observing what the tech does or duplicating the tech
3. You can keep the tech secret and until it is necessary to use it to your advantage while maintaining the illusion you have no such.
4. Even if you don't have the tech or haven't figured out all of it's secrets you can make it appear that you have such knowledge and just don't want to disclose it keeping your enemies guessing at your true potential even it is just a bluff.
It is called a Poker Face. best used if you don't lay your cards on the table.

You guys writing Obama shouldnt waste your time.
You do realize that hardly anything that is written to the president by civilians actually reaches his hand? Staffers answer his mail, and convey the passions expressed therein to him. They will take one look at your UFO letters, dismiss you as "UFO nuts" and that will be the end of story.

Hey, Greeneyed.
Would you mind if I cut and paste that map onto the webpage?? That is perfect in assisting to illustrate that event.
Fact is... every couple of months... there is a new batch of very unusal 'aircraft' images coming out of Washington DC.
The problem with the image being simply that of an aircraft departure, for me... is the drastic angle of liftoff - the fact that the enlarged version of it shows no obvious signs of 'horizontal stabilators' ( wings and tail ) -
Also, if you look closely - there is a near perfect 'triangle' of lights ( stars, if you must ) top, center ... in the photo. I believe that it is an 'instantaneous image.' As it is an image from a Nikon D700 - the image is either very acurate - or the 'doctoring' of such an image will be easily detected in analysis.
The 'motion-blur' theory is intellegent - yet, there are inconsistencies in what we would expect to see if that were the case. The 'trail' looks more like a light shining down - and I would jump to 'helicopter theory' - yet, again... the larger version of the image is inconsistent with that, concidering the power and quality capabilities of that model camera.
No way to actually verify it -- but it is but an example of many images taken over the capitol... in the last 5 years.... let alone - the last 5 decades.
I say that the image is 'holding up well' - and may entice review of collateral materials.
I appreciate your imput. The jury is still out on this one.
Interesting.

Stealth was not old. When the stealth bomber was used against Iraq during the 1st gulf war, it was the latest and greatest.. all the Iraqis could do was look at their radar screens and say wtf as they were bombed yet unable to track the craft doing the bombing.
The stealth bomber was deployed as soon as possible because it was useful. If we had all of this tech now it would have been monumentally useful in wars against Iraq and Afghanistan, but weve seen no sign of it.

The U-2 spyplane started in late 1954 by Lockheed Aircraft under a contract with the Central Intelligence Agency .
The CIA began studying a replacement in 1958 for the U-2 that could fly at speeds above Mach3. This was OXCART and the A-12, a one seated version built by Lockheed. The Air Force soon developed the SR-71 Blackbird based on the OXCART design, as well as the Lockheed D-21 reconnaissance drone.
The modern steath project began in 1975 It was called project Harvey. It was named after the James Stewart movie about an invisible six-foot tall rabbit.
The Have Blue craft began development in 1977 which soon became the F-117 built and tested between 1981 and 1982.
B-2 Spirit bomber, first started in the late 1970s and was not made public until the 1990s.
The first F-117 squadron was declared operational in 1983.The first combat use of this stealth aircraft was in December 1989 during Operation Just Cause in Panama. It wasn't made famous until the gulf war in 1991.
Hardlythe latest and greatest technology, my military friend.
The newest technology is currently flying in the war and has not been made public yet. Even the operators are on a need to know basis. This is perhaps is the reason for the sightings of ufos over the battlefield that are being reported. However a very real admission of a craft described very much like the rumoured Aurora has been announced by the military.
