Met an old guy this past week who used to be a military radar tech. He had worked for 15-20 years on one of those huge radar planes that flew along the eastern seaboard. As a joke I asked him if he ever spotted a UFO. To my surprise he said yes. It was not all that uncommon he said for them to get an unidentified radar target out there, scramble fighters to intercept it, and then have the fighters be unable to get close to it. He certainly believed they existed. I didn't, until of course I met Sauerkraut, who clearly has been penetrated by aliens somewhere along the line.

It's true even with afterburners, they would move even visually ways that a plane could not.
Thats all I can say about,

Weird!!!

I was suprised to see this thread. I was fishing the Mass South Shore last night betwwen 11:00 and 2:00, don't recall exactly what time it was but at one point the night sky flashed behind us like a street light just popped or exploded. We looked to the sky and you could see the concentrated flash. One of the guys said it was just a shooting star and I said I have seen shooting stars before runnig accross the sky but nothing like this concentrated bursting flash. We just decided to accept the shooting star theory and kept fishing.
