Thanks. I was just reading up on it. 2009 was the last year that they flew from there. I lived in an area N.W of St. Louis and would see them fly low and fast. At night on a couple of occassions I witnessed some really high speed stuff with afterburners glowing red. The university campus was always a good place to catch site of them. There were always two together. They were amazing to see.

if it was a sonic boom created by the jets i doubt she would've had time to run outside then still see them.

Why is this not in the hoax bin yet? No pics of the event of aftermath, no pics of a burnt face, no other reports and...projecting helpful thoughts? The reason the "UFO Community" is not taken seriously is the taking of eye witness accounts with no evidence as gospel, regardless of who they are.

The Gray Area is a discussion forum that provides a dedicated area for members to post their confessions, disclosures, and related extraordinary personal experiences. Like the highly speculative Skunk Works forum, The Gray Area will tolerate topics that may be unusually hypothetical or unproven for the purpose of vetting the stories of thread-starters by the ATS membership at large.
By nature, The Gray Area tends to involve unproven claims and anecdotal testimony that may arouse skepticism in some members.
As always, skepticism is fine, but only when expressed in accordance with the AboveTopSecret.com Terms And Conditions Of Use.
In particular, Courtesy Is Mandatory. Insults, ridicule, harassment, abuse and similar behavior constitute a direct attack on what this forum is intended for, and will be treated accordingly.
Members unable to politely discuss unusual, unproven or unorthodox subjects should avoid this forum.

Ya. I heard about those billion dollar runways. Seems that the airlines that did fly out of MidAmerica were short lived in the commercial business. Perhaps someone wants to keep those runways for themselves.

Tucked over in the corner is a C-141B and a KC-135A (which is pretty rare to see). Neither flying anymore.

Just witnessed something that blew my mind. I am still shaking from it.
Stepped outside and heard a loud boom towards the west, a few seconds later a smaller boom and I then looked up to the south and saw 5 jets converging on what I can describe as a metallic object warbling in the sky. There was then a HUGE dark halo which surrounded the sun for over 2 minutes. I covered the direct sun and was still blinded by the visual. This seemed to happen less than a mile or so from my location. I saw it all clearly. I feel like my face is burnt.
WHAT the frack just happened?
