Here you are assuming that the object(s) is flying according to flight regulations, and if you do not really know what the object is you can not really assume that.

And obviously, if you knew anything about flight regulations at the various altitudes, that object in the 2nd video is definately not flying below 1,000 feet. Much too fast for that altitude and if it were that close to the ground, you would definately be hearing it in that video!!
But why have that in mind for an unknown object? You are limiting the possibilities to law abiding aircrafts.
Using the stars for reference, and you can in the 2nd video, that thing is moving too darned fast for anything to be flying at even 2,000 feet. Again refer to FAA regulations, to which even military aircraft abide by especially over civilian population and in and around commercial air traffic and airports. So with that in mind, this thing is obviously much further up and flying much faster than your typical aircraft.
I think that is the wrong question, you are assuming that the object is an aircraft, even though you say that the light configuration is unknown, so I think the right question is "what is that object (or objects)?"
And all of this still does not answer the most important question, exactly what type of aircraft is it that has 3 sets of running lights along its sides.
I care.
True we do not know its exact altitude, who cares!
I'm not a cannibal.
HO HO HO!!!! Have a cup o joe!!

If, as I suspect, the V is actually a close formation of aircraft, perhaps a guess at their separation would be helpful in coming up with some numbers.

Originally posted by Starwatcher My question is though why would the usaf fly a top secrete aircraft over a cali city. Usually they test fly these over the pacific ocean, stealth or not they don't want the public knowing.

Great find....
Anyone tried this over the UK skies?

Ok but its possible that this new Jet is just for show. What I mean is we probably are the ones flying the other ones that are on the Night vision cameras. But then again who knows for sure.

Because they are not really worried about you seeing them anymore
I mean after all they are talking about Mach 10 on Fox News...
NASA Blackswift hypersonic scramjet or HTV-3X
Between Vandenburg, Edwards, Nellis, Area 51, Tonapah and a few others the skies are fairly busy with weird stuff in my neck of the woods
But I still think we need to do the world a favor and SHOOT all Fox News reporters

I have that from one person who is now in Space Command out of Patrick who saw it in 85 and from Intelgurl's thread on the SR72 started in 2006... (she works at Tonapah)
What better way to keep a secret than to show us an old design concept that is already obsolete

You 'have it' from one person eh?
How come that statement is perfectly acceptable, yet when other people mention they know someone at Nasa or a military witness says they saw or know of secret UFO projects they are instantly laughed at? Yours is just as much hearsay as anyone elses statements
From the evidence we've seen, and some simple logic..
Good Morning, Matt and thanks for the note/invite. Yes, Ron and I have been sending a few emails back/forth and I enjoy the 'catharsis' and info exchange.
Thank you and the PRG for the kind invitation to join the group. My first impression is to jump-in with both feet but I need to pass the fact of the invitation forward to others in my affiliation for recommendations re possible implications as to projects we have in the funnel or initiatives being worked. I need to make sure that joining the group will not constitute any conflicts of interest or breach any secrecy aspects or present directives.
I'll get back to you on the invite within 72 hours (given it's late in the week and a couple of my people are 9 to 5'ers
Ron,
Thanks for the latest info....pretty wild!
Attached is Notice my office issued two days ago.
I am no longer under 'gag-order' and may be able to participate more in your discussion group after the new year.
Merry Christmas to you and all in your circle.
Best regards,
