For those of you who have visited this site before, you will notice that a new page has been added which I have called Readers Questions.

The reason being, I am receiving many, many e-mails asking various questions about mysterious aircraft, to which in the main I do not have the answers. I do not have the expertise, knowledge or information available on most of the requests that I receive. I havebeen able to help on a number of occasions, or to point people in the right direction as to where they might get the information they seek, but mostly I find that I am at a loss.

I thought it might be a good idea to post these questions on a new page and ask all of you out there for your help. I intend to update the page on a weekly basis ( probably at the week-end ), where I will list any questions ( that's most of them ) that I cannot answer, and ask that if anyone has any information, no matter how small, on the subject, to kindly forward to me by e-mail, where I will then pass it on to the person who originated the question, and also to post it to the site with my thanks to the supplier of the info.

I would appreciate any comments or feedback as to whether this page is a worthwhile subject to pursue. It is something fairly new as I have not seen many pages which offer this kind of "Audience Participation". I feel that it could be the start of something exciting and interesting, in which we can all be involved, and just may lead to a lot of fresh ideas and answers which might help in the quest for further knowledge on this fascinating subject of "STEALTH".

I would like to make one point clear, that if any of you who do write to me and do not wish there querie to be "aired" on the Net for whatever reason, just mention it in your 'E', I will of course respect your wishes and try to find other means to answer your questions.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have taken the time to contact me with many letters of appreciation, support and help, I hope that you will continue to do so in the future.

And so to the first questions..............................

Aurora Over Turkey 1992

My thanks to Glen Friede for Picture

From Daniel J.Hello,I have seen your web page and it looks like you are fairly knowledgeable about the subject of strange aircraft, at least from a military perspective, and I am trying to get an aircraft identified, so I felt that you would be a place to go or at least a place to point me in the right direction.

I live in Indiana, around 30 miles from Crane Naval Base.Over the past two days, there has been a very strange aircraft flying over our town at night. It appears to have four lights, two on eachwing. The two inner lights are white and flash two or three times in arow in a stroboscropic fashion and then rest. The two outer lights arered and flash slowly, about once a second. All four of these lights arevery bright.

The plane itself operates in a very strange manner. It moves very slowly at times and at others seems to zip by incredibly quickly. It has even appeared to hover in place more than once. It also seems to be circling the town for some reason or another. I have gotten two good looks at this plane, but as these were both at night and the viewing was fair at best, they are not very detailed, I will describe them as best I can.

At both times, the plane was flying low enough to the ground for me tomake out fairly good detail if the night had been a clear one. The first time, I saw a quick side view of the plane as it flew past very quickly.It looked like a single or double-passenger plane, but it had a bulbous cockpit much like a Boeing 747. The second view was of the bottom of the plane. Again, this was a quick look, as I was in a car at the time (a friend was driving, so I was able to pay attention to the plane), and it was when the plane appeared to be hovering. The bottom looked as if it were fairly flat, almost as flat as the space shuttle, with a slight bulge running down its centre from nose to tail. It also appeared from the ground to be made of a series of metal plates that were alignede nd-to-end from nose to tail. The plane also appeared to be entirely white, but it was too difficult to see if there were any discerning marks on it. The wings, when it is hovering (unless I am mistaken) do not move to a vertical position like a harrier's wings and I saw no evidence of any rotor above the plane or any sort of propulsion system beneath the plane that would enable it to hover (although, as far as the propulsion system goes, I again did not get a good enough look to besure). I have no idea whether or not this plane was a jet, but it achieved speeds that I doubt any prop plain could reach.

I am not a believer in alien spacecraft and even if I were, there is no doubt in my mind that this *was* just an airplane, but a very strange one. Any ideas on what it could possibly be or who could give me an inkling?

Thanks very much.................................................

I live out near groom lake. And a couple of weeks ago I saw a strange plane that I didn't know what it was I have been scanning the Internet and haven't found anything that looks like it. It had forward swept wings like the X-29. It also had what looked like a F119 engine. It was about the size of the F-16 that was flying chase for it. It had a hump between the canopy and tail. It was painted black with only a USAF marking in gray. Its performance was like nothing I had ever seen it could sideslip like a helicopter and the F-16 that was flying chase for him couldn't even do half of what the plane was doing. I think they had a mock dogfight or something and the mystery plane whipped the F-16's butt. Do you know of any planes like this or have there been any other sightings of it if so please tell me.

Have you ever heard of a project called BOP. I believe it stands for birdof prey.I overheard someone in authority speak of it, and when I asked about it was told I misunderstood him/her.

I dont think so.

If anyone has info on this I would be pleased to hear about it as I have never heard the term..........Colin
