3rd image added - Someone please tell me what I saw...

It's hard to say exactly what it was, but I would tend to side that it was some sort of aircraft in the landing configuration. Sometimes the lights are just on the wing which can give the impression that it has a delta shape when it's really not.

I just checked Google Earth and there a no airports near where I saw this thing heading...

If you check this thread you may get the answer that you are looking for. I included the you tube video what looks almost identical on what you saw.

This video is of a Delta Wing Kite with LEDs on it.

I've always wondered that myself - why would they have lights at all?.

Light is a byproduct of the propulsion system.

How about a stealth blimp?

Light is a byproduct of the propulsion system.

yes of course is it - evreybody knows that

its clearly a B class scout ship built by reptoids but piloted by greys from the zeta reticuli star system.

You are all wrong....dead wrong!

It's radio-active geese.

Please, no thank you's. It's what I do.

What evil being is responsible for their radioactive fate???

It's the Scientologists. But don't worry, The Church of Gaming is on the way to stopping them.

Brings a tear to my just thinking about it.

I have seen this and what I saw does look very similar to one of the light patterns on the kite (minus the central strobe light). But, there is no way for a kite to have such a steady controlled flight for such a long distance, unless it was attached to the back of an un-lit helicopter.

Anima, please tell me, what do you think about my stealth blimp theory?

Oh, I wasn't sure if you were serious. What I saw seemed much smaller than the stealth blimp mentioned in the linked article and I'm not sure how the light pattern fits with it. But the speed and steadiness of it's movement was kind of blimp like.

Yeah, I agree with the delta wing argument.

Wiki: Delta Wing Aircraft

Maybe some kind of experimental one?

No military aircraft would have that kind of light configuration. The whole idea behind military aircraft is to fly low and not be seen. So that rules out any military aircraft. Also, they do have the standard strobes, as per regulation.

However, it would be daft for an aeroplane; especially a military aeroplane to be lit up like a Christmas tree. It would be shot down as it would be a moving target clearly visible.

How do I know this-My dad was a radar technician with the air force, and my ex-husband was a aircraft mechanic with the air force, and as a Junior Air Force Cadet, we had to learn about military aircraft. My objective was to become a female test pilot and then a space shuttle pilot. My height was what restricted me getting into the academy. In the 80's there was a specified height for women to get into the armed forces. The recruiter deemed me too small.

So rachel07, any ideas? I just wish I could've seen this thing during the day so I could make sense of it.

I knew it couldn't be a military aircraft as the military wouldn't light up their aircraft. I thought it was either a triangular ufo(some people report strange configuration of lights) or something that was more down to earth.

However, kites do not make steady controlled motions, and if there was a helicopter by law it would have to have regulation strobes, even if it had the capability like AIRWOLFE to go into whisper mode. The strobes would give the helicopter away.

The only way a kite could go that distance is via remote control and with some kind of motor. Then the remote range would have to be able to extend to the distance you showed in your pics.

I am going to see what I can find out about this kite (i.e. range, distance via remote etc)

Delta Stunt Kite
Delta Stunt Kite

The Delta Stunt Kite. Weighing in at a miniscule 4 ounces, this professional acrobatic kite is by far the master of all stunt kites. With its solid frame and durable lightweight nylon sail, this kite can fly in the lightest of winds! It sneaks up on the competition and takes the audience by storm ! A HUGE crowd favorite !

Specifications:

Wind : 5 - 20 mph

Skill level : Beginner, Intermediate or Expert

Wingspan : 5ft

Height : 3ft

Material : Ripstop Nylon

Lines : Twin - 2 x 50ft

Flight line: 50# test on winder with straps included

Here are the specs on the Delta Stunt Kite. Hence, I think this rules the kite out. I am now going with a UFO of unknown origin.

Maybe what you saw was a Lockheed SR-91 Aurora hypersonic jet. It's a classified delta-wing configured reconnaisance aircraft.
