1979. Soesterberg Air Base.
Right in the middle of the Netherlands and also right in the middle of the Cold War. Soesterberg was the first defensive line for the Americans against the Russians...
A quarter to five on the frigid morning of February 3. The base was quiet, only a dozen military guards were awake and on duty that night. Suddenly a gigantic triangular object startled the guards as it glided silently over the airbase, illuminating the entire runway with beams so bright you could read a book in it.
The event was so abrupt and unusual that the guards were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. According to their testimony, after 5 minutes the object was at the end of the airbase and shot up to the sky to remain forever burned on the witnesses' retinas.

I'm ruling out something like that , can't really tell from their stories how big or noisy it was , although I never knew the F117 was build so close to that time frame amazing USAF tech for that time period

"Antigravity" is a highly unlikely possibility (as well as a misnomer. A better term would be "gravity-deflection").
To generate a gravity deflecting (or "Antigravity") field would require a rewrite of Newtonian physics on a scale that would be impossible to keep secret; I am tempted to say such a secret would be tantamount to keeping the fact that the Earth is not the center of the Universe.
Far more likely (and just barely closer to "possibility") would be an aircraft based on "vacuum-cell" technology: which would "only" require the development of an extremely lightweight material strong enough to withstand about 15lbs per square inch without deforming, but weight no more than a square inch of Mylar film.
And be impermeable to the smallest molecule of atmospheric gas (ie. Hydrogen).
Such a material would not violate current physics (necessarily), and could, conceivably kept "under wraps" enough to produce a vehicle with flight capabilities and characteristics very similar to what has been observed as exhibited by the "Deltas".
