There is a place in Scotland that used to hold the record for the greatest number of UFO sightings in the UK (or possibly the world). It is near a U.S. Airbase. When the U.S. went public with Stealth Bombers, the sightings mysteriously stopped.
So I'd expect it's a bunch of F16s on a training exercise with a new type of Stealth Bomber. Or Stealth Something.

UFO="unidentified flying object"
UFO <> "spaceship from the stars"
UFO <> "nonhuman craft"
Folks get their definitions confused, seems like.
To the people who saw it, if it didn't look like an F-16 to them (and their aren't any mile-long F-16's, but let that pass), then it's still a UFO.
That doesn't mean it was a spaceship, however.
It doesn't even mean it was mechanical.
"UFO" is just an abbreviated way of saying "I saw something in the sky and I don't know what the hell it was."

This should clear things up.
The frisbee's inventor just died, leaving intructions that his ashes be molded into new frisbees.
Perhaps one of these haunted frisbees has gotten out of hand. That's what the jets were chasing. Yeah.

Looks like some lights to me...
A republican, a democrat and a communist were all gazing up at the skies over Texas.

And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.

And people keep trying to tell me that UFOs don't exist. Silly. Now, nonearthly intergaglactic spacecraft...no one flying them has yet come up to me and said, "Greetings, Take, Me, To, Your, ATM".

It would be so too cool to share a pint and communicate in mind-meld.

I saw it as several planes flying in formation instead of one big thing. The lights are probably the engines flaring or something. Just what I think of it.peeplj wrote:To the people who saw it, if it didn't look like an F-16 to them (and their aren't any mile-long F-16's, but let that pass), then it's still a UFO.
It would ofcourse be much cooler if it were fighter jets chasing a spacecraft
