What's flying in Alaska?

a reply to: Woody510

That's about the time they fly classified aircraft. A lot of times they take off after midnight and land just before dawn.

Yeah it's definitely different from anything I've heard around here. Like I said I felt a difference in pressure on my ears and the lights flickered as this noise went over.

I'm guessing you may have an idea what this low grumbling aircraft is?

a reply to: Woody510

I may. There are a couple possibilities.

a reply to: Zaphod58

C'mon........give us a hint

Joint venture with the UK at all if it's been heard a few times? Or is it just stopping for juice or quick repair and leaving?

I'd love too know as well but unless it lands at Heathrow on bright sunny day we'll never know.

a reply to: Woody510

Stop over for crew rest and fuel before heading to where she needed to be, or back home.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Might it be a certain aircraft that sometimes gives a good light show ?

a reply to: nelloh62

That's one possibility.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Was the change in pressure to with the plane at all or just coincidental?

a reply to: nelloh62

Was that the one seen up in Michigan?

a reply to: Northernhollow

Not sure. Which aircraft was seen in Michigan ?

a reply to: Woody510

Just coincidence.

a reply to: Northernhollow

It's been seen over a number of places. My other half, who has almost zero interest in aviation has seen it about 10 times.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Man, I have to travel to better places.

From what I've read I'm going to guess its not coming out anytime soon, if ever.

a reply to: Northernhollow

Probably not. They may surprise us, but I'd be surprised if it was any time soon.

a reply to: Zaphod58

You hear about anything (besides B-21) possibly coming out soon? Maybe something old and /or retired?

a reply to: Northernhollow

They started declassifying something about a year or two ago according to rumor. A picture/concept drawing made it into the wild and wasn't immediately squashed with the nearest handy nuclear weapon. It'll probably be a few more years though. As far as they had gotten there's a lot of stuff to go through and clear.

a reply to: Zaphod58

I wonder what it might be...
