A.R.V. and the US airforce

I was blessed with 20/10 or 20/12 eye sight for most of my life. I had friends who swore they had seen stuff but alas I have never seen anything I could not explain. One night at 45,000 just south of Cleveland, Ohio I saw a very large white object that I guesstimated to be well above my assigned altitude. I even called Cleveland Center and asked if they had traffic at my 12 O'clock high.. They kinda snickered for there were not many arcraft back then that could even make 45,000 much less higher..

The object continued to pace my aircraft and really looked about the size of something slightly less than a basket ball, white in color with an occasional blue twinge.. After about 4 or 5 minutes of observation I flew out from under the high Cirrus layer of clouds. My basketball object shrunk to the size of Venus which the light source actually was.. The ice crystals had acted like a magnifying glass. really weird.

I have seen many weird weather and lightning occurrences. But alas I guess I am a reject for I have never been abducted or been chosen to view a saucer, triangle, or anything thing else many folks talk about... Like I said I have had friends who swore they saw such... just not me.

The only sighting experience I can say I've had of actual craft I KNEW to be real objects in motion within our atmosphere happened around the time the 80's became the 90's in Las Vegas.

I was at the Wet N Wild (too young then to be in the real attractions of Vegas) and having a grand old time playing in the water, when something caught my eye and I looked up. Above Las Vegas, and I recall as moving North to South, were two 'craft' in tight formation. They were JUST barely visible, at the same high levels I was used to seeing strategic bombers at during those years on training flights. However..these weren't bombers.

All I..or anyone else..could absolutely see were the elongated black shapes leading the contrails, to make them stand out. Why they stood out was simple... They crossed horizon to horizon in a little less than 30 seconds.

That may not sound like much, until you count out 30 seconds with a comparison to any normal aircraft in the sky you might otherwise see. To say these were hauling ass...isn't doing it justice.

Now I wasn't alone..and by the time these were half way across the sky, the whole park around me was looking up and watching them go across.

When I got home and asked a couple family friends (one of whom spent most of his career at Rockwell) they stated flatly and without hesitation. What I thought I saw, couldn't have been real, because no materials known to science for building an aircraft could sustain the heat generated by atmospheric flight at the speed that crossing indicated they were going.

...so go figure... I saw something that couldn't have existed..with a couple thousand other people, all equally in a light 'WTF' shock, as we all watched it unfold.

There is my first and last 'actual craft' sighting. I've seen other things... Green light illuminating the WHOLE sky, equally, with no point of origin..and I've seen that twice. Other things....things I can't be sure were even real vs. Sky's experience of very convincing optical illusion.

Just that pair of screamers over Vegas..for what I know I've seen of very advanced tech, beyond what should have existed for the time.

I can describe it easily enough.... The first time I saw it was from a truck stop in Dallas, Texas. That would have been.... 2003, I believe... New Years eve, if I'm not mistaken..but don't quote me. I recall the setting and scene like a photograph or movie in how it burned a memory in...but I can't be 100% on the date.

I happened to be looking south and there had been some weather south of the metroplex, but a good distance south. The whole sky lit up for maybe a long count of 1 second. Enough to blink and still see it there..but not much more. Lime green color, radiant in quality, and perfectly even for spread. No stronger in one area of the sky than another, and absolutely no indication of source. Almost like the Northern Lights in a sheet, with complete consistency for appearance.

The second time was north of Amarillo on Hwy 287, and half way to the Oklahoma line. The sky was clear, empty and cold with clear visibility out to the horizons in all directions. That is an area of Texas where seeing to the curve of the Earth is simply a part of the landscape. Same thing as Dallas earlier....only far more impressive for seeing MUCH more of the sky at once. Again, the WHOLE sky lit up for 1-1/2 seconds. Same uniform lime green color, same uniform coverage of the entire sky at once, with NO sense of strength or point of origin.

I actually called 911 from my cell with the second one, because it was SUCH a rural area, and who knew what that was?? They took the report but sounded like they were getting lots of calls. I still have no clue what could or would make the entire night sky, from horizon to horizon in all directions, light up brightly. The energy alone is staggering to consider.

No way... I'm familiar with the green flash on a setting sun, particularly at sea. It's a localized and very clear thing for source. The whole sky, from all directions and IN all directions aren't lighting up equally.

It's hard to describe because there is nothing else like it to compare except sheet lightning, but that is a fraction of a second with a sense of origin. This was long enough to look hard at it before the light vanished.

I'd have said it was a meteor or other similar thing, and those can create the same brilliant green upon reentry and disintegration. That is also very localized tho. It could never be mistaken for equal light across the whole sky?

No clue what it was..but I figure it had to be a natural phenonmenon of some sort. I can't imagine what has that much power, outside nature?
