Being an ex-military aviation guy and a civilian pilot, I have a bit of experience in this sort of stuff....

I personally don't believe in UFOs, I believe most sightings of truly wierd stuff in the sky (those that can't be explained) are classified aircraft. Especially sightings at night...
You'd be amazed at what is on the drawing boards at Dryden Flight Research Center, Lockheed's Skunkworks, and Northrop\Grumman.

Heck, NASA's X-32 could stop in midair, stall, fall like a rock, and still turn 360 degrees under controlled flight as long as they wanted (until they ran out of altitude...) and this thing wasn't even a "Black" project...

The pre-cursor to the F-117 stealth fighter was prowling the skies in the late 70s.

Yep, silent helicopters, super-maneuverable aircraft, new engine technology. That stuff is here folks.... You don't really think the Air Force pays 400 dollars for a toilet seat do you?
