So now as soon as these drones come out, we have a real reason to fear unmanned flying objects; UFOs.

Point well taken, I could not agree with you more, and whilst I am a skeptic, I try to be objective, trying to fish out the unusual from the mundane. This particular Op has a good reputation - so it's more that than the sheer number of posts that give the story credence.
I will go and look at your thread now, and make a comment if I can add anything to the conversation.
All the best

I'll post more in a sec but if you are in the area they are travelling WSW from my perspective in Joplin, MO. There is an extremely powerful jet rumble associated with it. 2 escorts have FAA lights, but 3 UFOs look like inside illuminated boxes through binoculars.

OK, wanted to get that up as quickly as possible, people in Oklahoma should be able to see them by now.edit on 21-6-2012 by getreadyalready because: (no reason given)

Ok, now for more detail. I'm visiting family in Missouri, and Mom asked me to step outside and see a UFO. The sun set about an hour ago, and what she pointed out to me was a slow moving, bright star in the South. I figured it was probably a reflection off a satellite, and it disappeared after about 10 minutes. It was moving due East, but it was unremarkable. While watching it, with the binoculars, I happened to see some flashing FAA lights in the North East and when I zoomed in on them another set zoomed across the frame. It was a little frightening, so I stopped and looked with the naked eye, and there was a section of sky kind of ablaze with activity. Once I got some perspective on it, there were 3 sets of FAA lights that seemed to be jets, they went NNW, and then one circled back and headed out of sight in the opposite direction, while the two others took up positions flanking some large lights that were not flashing. Those lights seemed to turn WSW, and they were not flashing. When I zoomed in with 7x35 mm binoculars, there were 3 distinct crafts, they seemed almost like cubes with backlighting that was more prominent on the corners of the craft highlighting the cube shape.
The entire time there was an apparent roar, but it was deeper in tone than typical fighter jets or even commercial airliners. It seemed to be a very large type of engine, or something operating at very high power. Just as I ran in to post this, the were starting to near the Western Horizon, and the sound was at its loudest.edit on 21-6-2012 by getreadyalready because: (no reason given)edit on 21-6-2012 by getreadyalready because: (no reason given)

OP is a moron. A reflection from a satellite? That was your initial thought? All other information is now irrelevant.
A military escort? You mean, you believe it was military because you saw something that looked like fighter jets, correct? You are aware there are UFOs that shape-shift into different objects and "fighter jet" is one of them, right?
*sigh* Useless thread because OP is giving heavily biased information. Next time, just tell us what it looked like.. don't tell us what you think it is because people are arrogant and stupid.
In Memphis once, I was driving down Union Ave and saw two "fighter jets" flying side by side and ridiculously high-speeds, then all of a sudden, the 2 objects MERGED into one, whole, solid object. Not even joking. It was like 3 in the afternoon, traffic was pretty thick, and I don't even think one other person noticed it.
I never once thought it was military.. but also I'm not a moron.

With todays prevelance of video cameras and cell phones, all of which today have cameras, i call bull on this.
If this took place over the time you claim it had, i find it impossible to believe that you did not think to run inside and grab your phone. Or your moms phone.

Well, I did have my phone, but it is a Droid I, and it doesn't show anything at night.

Why do so many assume that everybody just has a cam wrapped around there neck. Sure a lot of people have them, just not on them at all times. most cell phones probably wouldn't have picked it up, as he clearly stated in the op or in another post.
