Back in 1985, during my first airwing detachment to Fallon, Nevada, my squadron participated in an exercise called “Constant Peg.” C-Peg was super classified and involved American fighter crews flying 1v1 ACM mission against Soviet fighters like MiG-23s and MiG-21s. These fighters were based at Tonopah. (My pilot and I went up against a MiG-23.)
Now during the briefs before the exercise the guys flying the MiGs were very hyper about us NOT landing at Tonopah … ever, ever, ever … even though the exercise took place just north of the field. “If you have an emergency go back to Fallon,” was the refrain, which struck us as a bit excessive, even considering the fact these enemy airplanes were based there.
The squadron operations officer, who went on to be a corporate test pilot, said something that made sense years later: “They’re not worried about the MiGs. There’s something else going on there.” When we pushed him for details, he said he didn’t know. He just had a hunch that C-Peg was a cover for another program.
Well, we now know that other program was the F-117 developmental test program. And after seeing firsthand the V-22’s DT program for three years, I can tell you that it’s a miracle that nobody found out about the Stealth jet during that time. Incredible stories have emerged about long commutes and clueless families and night ops. They did have a couple of close calls. There were reports of UFOs by local civilians that were quashed by Air Force officials.
So, again, have the folks in Texas seen something the Air Force doesn’t want them to see?
Check out these eyewitnesses in this news report. They seem convinced that they saw something weird:

Tonopah !!!!!!!!!! not Tonopa
Fixed, Ace. Thanks.

The MiG-23 was fast, but couldn’t turn very well … not for very long, anyway (what we call a “bleeder”). It was small, so the trick was keeping it in sight during the dogfight. Most airplanes with those characteristics will try to avoid “phonebooth” engagements, looking instead to extend out of sight to re-enter unseen.
Ok I’m from Texas and I hate to turn against my people but did that pilot say “hoovering” ? Was there a vacuum flying across the sky?
Ah, Tonopah…where I learned to play craps and developed my formidable sales resistance.
The second I heard that a Reserve unit was now saying they were operating out there that night, I thought “well the conspiracy theorists are gonna love this”. Questions the stupid MSM should be asking are “what KIND of operations were the Reserve birds flying?”…and “how does that kind of activity relate to what was seen?“
If the answers don’t jive, the AF will have a heck of a job ahead trying to convince the public it was a case of left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing and they weren’t trying to cover up something else. There’s a lesson there for all PA officers: the right answer late or no answer at all is better than the wrong answer at the start.
BTW: Until the actual descriptions of what people were seeing got out I was wondering if the sighting weren’t related to a little UAV operation in Mineral Wells just north of there. Since the descriptions got out, I don’t know what to think.
hell same as me i was thinkin they maybe saw a huge airship (heard one of those with a reactor of some kind could be a mile long and be more cost efficient and faster than a transport ship as well as air) but now oh well ill just have to keep dreaming
Its’ funny how they interview someone who states the government wishes they had something like that not taking into account that for one, this thing could be unmanned. Two we have had over 50 years to perfect and experiment with non– traditional propulsion systems. People need to stop thinking of Just propellant and fans to move objects and need to open their minds. by using other methods wether practical or impractical. The concept of scramjets and ramjets were invented over 50 years ago. Can you propel an aircraft with sound waves by heating up the air molecules. If the earth has A big magnentic core is it possible to amplify that in a device just like a compass and manipulate that magnetic energy. Stop thinking in a traditional sense. You can use lasers to propel objects. atomic detonation to propel objects. What about the Casimir effect. The glowing could be attributed to the heat produced from friction, from the excessive speeds of the aircraft hitting the air molecules. The aircrafts metallic or alloy skin stays glowing for a period of time until it cools down. This could also be a holograhic projector that they are experimenting with for psych ops. Personally I do not to want to know top secret aircrafts we possess, because wanting to know does not benefit my security but just dimnishes it. It’s a matter of our national security for people not to to blow it out of proportion. It should just be obvious and logical that it’s an advanced non-traditional military aircraft.
it was a streetlight. Seriously (or maybe not actually) i’ve read on various net sites about the supposed TR-3 being the size of ‘two football feilds’ etcdue to some kinda magnetic sht spinning round or something, would be neat if it was that beast zooming about!

I personally wouldn’t think immediatly that it was aliens. I’m sure the US Air Force has plently of Black projects going on. As much as I would love to have on revealed, I know its unlikely because we are not at war with any tech savvy nation. but still, its my tax dollars that help pay for it.…and I want to see it.
several years back I thought PDE was going to be a huge deal.…the possibilities of having an aircraft that with one kind of engine, can go from 0 mph to over mach 10 was going to blow th jet engine out of the water.…but all that tech has since gone completely black, today, there isn’t any new news on these amazing engines.
uhg…I wish I was “in the know”.
So it is a black program. Why are we talking about it?
No one was thinking of ways to track stealth aircraft when they did not know about them.
I am interested as anyone in new technology. That

One thing is for sure. When one black program goes public you can count on several others waiting in the wings.
Well as any researcher will tell you, if we recently invented these then we better find out how we shipped them back in time to the 1940’s and 50’s. And if we were flying them unmanned back in the 40’s and 50’s, since they did right turns at crushing speeds, then I’d like to know why it took till the 90’s to create a working drone that’s slow as heck. And finally, why since the 1940s do we keep testing these ultra aircraft over the whole world and risk losing a craft (ala the U2).
Answering today’s sightings with lasers, ramjets, holograms, and other cutting edge equipment of today means we need one for the past too.
Personally I think there is too much secrecy in Government today. Besides, our enemies probably already know about it anyway. Quit bellyaching about outing black projects!
1. My father had a similar sighting of such an abnormal air born craft as described in this DT post in VT about 7 years ago during the daytime. He called me to see if I knew of such a thing. At best, he
IIRC, Compass Peg was partially outed back in the 80s when a USAF General died — the MSM said he was flying a Mig-23, but there was some speculation it was a black or stealth platform.
As for UFO sightings, one of the better explanations I’ve heard lately is that some of them are produced by laser experiments — lidar, plasma generation, etc. That might explain the “flight” characteristics; they’re not “flying objects” at all. They’re light shows.
Or maybe the Little Grays commanded me to type that.
