I live in the SF Bay Area. Several years ago, I was walking my dog at the San Leandro Marina. It was a beautiful, crystal clear day, no clouds in the blue sky. A FedEx plane landing at Oakland Airport caught my eye because he was coming in too fast and too high. The plane landed OK; but then I saw something. It was an OVAL shaped spot in the sky about twice the size of a full moon. It was pure white. Nothing was inside it and nothing came out of it and it never moved. I watched it for about five minutes, and then it flamed with a silvery brilliance, and just disappeared. It didn't fly off: it just disappeared and the sky became blue where it had been. I have no idea how long it had been there before I saw it. If I had not noticed the plane, I would have never seen it. I call it my Stargate. Does anyone have any idea on what I saw?

I've had an amateur astronomer tell me I saw something that very few people have ever seen -- a daylight meteorite headed directly towards me. He said it would create a void in the sky (the white spot), much like a speeding bullet. I can understand this; but I can't understand why it took such a long time -- at least five minutes. I've discounted this theory. It was not an UFO. I have questioned whether it might have been HAARP activity. You know, if you watch the skies every day, eventually you see strange things. Most people never look up.

Could this have been a boing KC-135?



"The more we learn about miraculous things, the less supernatural they become. Take the U.F.O. phenomenon for example. It isn't a requirement that every unidentified flying object necessarily has to contain alien beings from another planet; it is just that those who saw them did not have an explanation for what they were. The same is true for all of those numerous other misunderstood nuances in the world around us. As we try to understand just exactly what is real, what is not, and how it all came to be, all we are actually delving into is the study of the metaphysical or "magical" unreal world. We not only have to ask ourselves what is real, but we have to understand the concept of reality in general before we can even approach the question."

i know i'm getting off topic here, but did you ever read Skunk Works by Ben Rich?

In the section on the SR-71 Blackbird, he talks about the experiences of the test pilots. Like watching a sun rise from a sunset while traveling west at Mach 3, and then slowing down to see it set again. And how flying east when the sun set was like diving into near instantaneous darkness. Interestingly, Ben Rich is quoted as saying "We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity."
