COULD this footage be proof that aliens are among us?

The startling film has been leaked on the internet and UFO watchers reckon it could be proof of a government cover-up.

The mystery craft looks far from threatening as it flanks the supersonic F18 fighter above the skies of the US. oof that aliens are among us?

[Cementjungle]

Looks like the space shuttle.

[mountn man]

Hey. I saw that episode of Star Trek.

[Jeff Head]

Look more like a new UAV to me...probably being tested and monitored by the F-18.

[classified]

I say proto-type!

[Dumpster Baby]

I think it’s really cool that UFO’s are now using jet engines that leave contrails - they’re copying us instead of us copying them!

[Jagman]

I love the way these photos are always so clear!

[antidemoncrat]

I didn’t think a UFO would have a contrail.

[buwaya]

Looks like a fast UAV.

It is an air-breather. By the shape of the exhaust plume, it is a stealth UAV, IMHO.

Most likely a X-42B being escorted by a F-18D

Isn’t the F-18 a swingwing design? If so, its flying fairly slow since the wings are in the forward position. I’m no aviation nut, so somebody chime in.

In the absense of any other info my guess is that the F-18 is tracking a drone or something like it—given its size.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love it if some fine fellows from outer space landed and said hello. But I don’t think this is it.

[darkwing104]

Here is the actual Aircraft.

[driftdiver]

Interview with the pilot at 11!

[Jeff Head]

Agreed. A new UAV in test flight.

Now...had it stopped stone cold in the air and made a radical 90 degree turn on a dime at that speed, with the F-18 flying out of the picture and turning wildly to try and get back on its wing...then I may have started thinking differently.

Ping

[omega4179]

not a swingwing.

[omega4179]

Cool drones are so common now that even video is not proof of Alien craft anymore.

[Proud2BeRight]

So an F18 escorts the shuttle coming in just above the escort?

[Plutarch]

Why are pics of UFO's always so fuzzy? Let me know when a photo shows telling detail, like the Millennium Falcon.

[Cementjungle]

Well, if we can’t identify it then it’s certainly an unidentified flying object.

[Nateman]

[MaxMax]

I love the way these photos are always so clear! Yea, and I like how they only have a couple seconds of film in their camaras.

[BigCinBigD]

LOL. I was going to say it looks like an escape pod.

[buccaneer81]

Hey. I saw that episode of Star Trek.

I would like to see the stuff that is still on the drawing boards,

[buccaneer81]

Chase plane during Skunk Works test flight.

[fso301]

Anyone else notice the contrail from the jet engined UFO?

[mad_as_he$$]

Chase plane following the shuttle.

[Carley]

Who took this picture, the first lady of Japan?

[buccaneer81]

Isn’t the F-18 a swingwing design?

No. The F-14 Tomcat and F-111 were the last swingwings in our military.

[buccaneer81]

Who took this picture, the first lady of Japan?

Couldn't be. She was on board.

[HardStarboard]

>>>So an F18 escorts the shuttle coming in just above the escort?<<<

The Shuttle is very high, over 100,000ft, until it is about 30 miles from touchdown...

It would be relatively easy to snap a picture like this while the F-18 is climbing to the rendezvous altitude and the shuttle is still very high.

And that they always remember to affix aviation lights.

And that they always remember to affix aviation lights.

Even the guys from Theta Reticuli have to follow the FAR.

[Trod Upon]

Aliens are sneaky that way.

Where’s the video?

[The Comedian]

Am I the only one who can see the clear vapor trail behind the Klingon Death Battlestar there?

[Quix]

Thanks.

Will check it out.

D.C. LVD . . . feel free to ping the list.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Hmmmmmmm, it looks like the shuttle craft from the Great Ice Ship, is it coming to take my people away? (Rhet.)

[21twelve]

Question. Any reason why one craft would leave a contrail and the other not? If the plane is “chasing” it I would presume it is at about the same altitude, speed, etc.

[Quix]

Thanks.

Doesn’t look like a UFO to me.

[OpeEdMunkey]

COULD this footage be proof that aliens are among us?

Or that Photoshop is among us - Paint Shop Pro for those of us who can't afford the real thing.

[OpeEdMunkey]

Just one more thing to make sure the Taliban has a lousy day.

[Jeff Head]

Uh...when you watch the video, it is cler that both aircraft are leaving a contrail. That one pic was a brief moment when the contrail of the F-18 was just out of the picture. Watch the video.

[21twelve]

What? Not only do I have to read the entire article. THEN I’m supposed to read ALL of the posts. PLUS watch the video??!!

(Well - I HAVE gone to your site on Obama many times, and forwarded them to friends! Thanks for all your work on that!)

[21twelve]

Okay. Followed the link. Got sidetracked at the Page 3 video though!
