this this looks a lot like the craft My husband and I saw in 1998....

Brings back memories when I spend two weeks on a flight deck getting to help with landing/takeoff of our Navy's Sea Harriers. Watching those babies come alongside a moving ship into a hover, move over the deck and drop down - wow, they were some amazing aircraft. There is something so serene about being away out to sea, so that you cannot see and land at all, and only ocean in every direction. I used to think about all the mariners throughout human history, exploring the world be sea.......(eyes mist over, drool over mouth...):)

Great post, Goggs. I recall seeing a Harrier doing a demo at an airshow years ago, and man, was it ever loud !
 
Regarding the majority of comments above, could it be that aircraft being tested today are indeed 40 years in advance of something like this? Who knows... what I was saying is that is one very large piece of tech, designed to fly/strike with impunity and without a pilot. Surely you agree that is a rather 'terminator' concept.. or at least to me it is.
@Goggs - did you ever work with Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey's?
 
@SVLA - No, I didn't, the carrier I was on was one of those weird small UK ones with the ski-jump at the front. It only carried helo's and Harriers. I do know the aircraft you are talking about though, very cool.

Yeah we all understand that, I think (well speaking for myself) that the comments are a reaction to many skeptics who say that all sightings of unidentified craft are military in origin. This is not to say that this is what you were saying it is just an observation... hell I am skeptical as hell but I do not think all sightings of that nature are human tech.

Oh hell did I just play the ET card :confused:
