this is a post from 2011 updating an early post about a UFO experience I had in Denver:
2011 addition:
In a report in Friday's Los Angeles Times the Pentagon revealed details of its new hypersonic space glider that can fly at twenty times the speed of sound. Loyal readers of this blog will remember the post I did two and a half years ago about my UFO experience back in Denver in 2007...If you look at the picture of the space plane on Wikipedia and the picture I did in my blog post (which I've copied in full below) you'll see a remarkable similarity...My logic in the post below isn't too shabby either...

2009 post:
In November 2007 the wife and I were in the back yard of our house in Denver looking at the stars and chatting when we both saw a triangular shaped object flying north over the Front Range Mountains. It was massive, much bigger than any aircraft I've ever seen, perhaps as big as a football field (?!) entirely black but with three lights at the points of the triangle. Its size was impressive, but what was incredible about it was its speed - much much faster than any conventional jet. We watched it fly along the Front Range for about five seconds and then amazingly it turned to the north east on a dime and accelerated so fast it was beyond the horizon in seconds. The night was cold and quiet and visibility was very good. It was one of those Denver nights that is so clear you can hear a dog bark ten streets over. We heard no aircraft noise. We were not high & were drinking hot chocolate.

The missus, who's a bit sharper than I am, said "Without discussing it at all, let's go inside and draw what we both think we saw." We went inside and I drew a triangular shaped object with lights and hers looked more like a massive flying V. We compared images and both agreed that that was roughly what we had seen and that it was no aircraft we knew about. I googled a UFO hotline and called them up. You could only leave a recorded message. I told them what we saw anyway and left our number but they never called back.

Ok so what did we see? An extra terrestrial craft? Why would an alien spaceship have running lights? Despite its size and speed let's assume it came from Earth. I dismissed the idea that it was a remote controlled plane that only looked far away but was actually low to the ground, how could a remote controlled aircraft cross the entire Denver metro area in a few seconds? Could it have been a conventional aircraft? No, no commercial plane or glider has that shape or speed. A stealth fighter or bomber? No, this thing was huge and the stealth aircraft I've seen are not that big or that fast. No, my theory is that we saw an un-named black ops stealth plane whose existence has not yet been revealed to the public. It was flying north as if it had just taken off from Colorado Springs which of course is home to NORAD, the Air Force Academy and several air force bases and has easy access to Lockheed Martin, Denver where stealth technologies have been pioneered in the past.

It's been 18 years since the United States government admitted the existence of a new secret aircraft type. What's been happening in those 18 years? Could the USAF or CIA have a big supersonic stealth aircraft that it chooses to remain quiet about? Either that or the aliens aren't as subtle as they should be.
