My Uncle (who is near death, which is probably why he told me) was in the army and...(my memory is a little fuzzy over it)...he was in some department monitoring air traffic and they came across a large plane sized object that was just hovering. They watched it for a while and then it started to move off. He said they tracked if for about two minutes and when they lost contact with it they estimated it was moving at thirty thousand miles an hour.
After filing their reports, he said, a load of 'black coats' came in and made them fill in lots of forms agreeing never to disclose what they had witnessed.
He is normally a very straight guy and he was really serious. He says he thought it was all rubbish until this happened.
He may have been pulling my leg, and without more details, I can't say.
What were they tracking it with? How far would the object have travelled in two minutes? Would this have moved it out of range far too quickly to continue tracking it upto 30K?
Maybe someone can wake me up and make me smell the coffee.
