Erectus User ID: 13420334 United States 09/06/2012 02:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have a similarly odd story, but it happened a year ago. I live 25 miles from LR AFB, the training center for C130s. Needless to say I can identify a C130 from its' engine noise as I've been seeing and hearing them daily all my life. One night I heard a C130 sound, but it wasn't right at all. It was different altogether. I looked up and saw in the clear sky a C130 with no lights on. On each side of it was a helicopter with no lights on. Behind them was a helicopter that did have its' lights on. I'm fairly sure the choppers were all blackhawks. The sky was lit very well and the aircraft were easy to see. Their formation was very tight. |

deltaseven User ID: 1607323 United States 09/06/2012 02:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, seeing how the 150th Tacos are no longer flying out of Kirtland ( [link to en.wikipedia.org] ...I would say more than likely aircraft transit or training...what did the large plane look like? Did it look like this? [link to www.aimhigherjets.com] or this? [link to en.wikipedia.org] There does appear to be alot of military movement lately across the US. Luke is home to F-16s. Nellis in NV is a training school house so they could be headed that way as well.... Good eye OP! -D7 |

One of my kids was in a wagon and lying down when he noticed it. BTW this child has broken his leg a second time from a trampoline, not a good thing for small children. Sometimes parents don't get it! |
