Fire in the sky...

[RastaPope]

So earlier this evening, about 10:30est, I left my building on the way to the local convenience store, preparing to feast on a bounty of microwave burritos and wonka bars. Anyway, halfway across the parking lot, I looked to the clear black sky and saw something pretty damned cool. Way high in the heavens were many, many two colored points of light. Moving. Very fast. In every direction. These things were pulling manuevers I've never seen any aircraft do. Now realize, I've spent a good number of years living on military bases and have a fair knowledge of current jets. These things....red and yellow, dancing around the sky like skateboarders. They looked like they were playing a game of tag or something. Some would disappear then reappear across the sky. Some would zoom around, stop and hang, then resume their zooming. Even as high as they were, the fuckers were fairly big. I managed to count 2 dozen, but there were a good deal more than that, my guess would be around 60.I watched for a good 20 minutes, then walked to the quicktrip where I stood and watched for another 20 with a cutie who also noticed. A crowd grew. Anyway, I went in and bought my stuff, then walked back home, eating on the porch while I watched for another hour before going back inside.


Weird. Not saying they were alien in nature, but something was definitely up. Backengineered military crafts? Some crazy breakthrough? Who knows.

a full wing of New Republic starfighters were running atmospheric drills in the skies above where you live.

just trust me on this one.

All I can say is I have no idea what they would have been but it would have been good to have seen them.

I wish I had of been there.

fireflies? hovering in a black sky making perception distorted on a night sky where its clouded over but not pitch black?

 

[badbabysitter]

plus as you state it was at a convenience store...background light and all....

Atmospheric anomalies....

Could have been "Foo-fighters' not the band, but things that would fly along our bombers in WW2. The manuevers sound similar to what I've read about. Either that or RPV's for the military. I've heard they're (gov) are experimenting with frisbee sized RPV's for urban recon. Another possibility is they're looking for a juicy farmer's field to "tag" some more symbols to confound us, and fight among ourselves! (galactic hee hee)

how much had you had to drink/smoke?

 

[SINthysist]

How are you going to get ahead unless you buy and prepare your own food. Way cheaper! Save money. Money best spent towards the ELECTRICITY bill !

how much had you had to drink/smoke?

Thats exactly what I was going to say!

how much had you had to drink/smoke?

I don't drink the booze very often. Once or twice in a year. I hate drunks.

And all I've smoked in the past 2 weeks has been cigarettes. And I don't think everyone else who witnessed this were drunks and stoners.

 

[alexandraaah]

I was going to say you caught a random Kansas sighting of the Northern Lights, however unlikely...but you're sure they were jets?

 

[Sillyman]

I saw smoke on the water, but does anyone else care? Nooooo....
