Well I figured I'd post this here cuz it could use another topic...
Anyways, a couple weeks ago we were watching Lord of the Rings on DVD and my brother takes a smoking break so I go upstairs... But shortly after he calls up the stairs like "Hey Nathan come here! Hurry up!" so I go running downstairs to see, and he points up to the sky and he's like "Hey keep looking around that area and tell me if you see anything... I just saw some blue light just like shoot straight up in the sky"... So I sit there for awhile looking and eventually this blue light appears and it looks to be going sorta straight, but then it starts pulling up and dissapears into the clouds (it wasn't overcast, but there were clouds here and there)... And Jason said that was kinda like the one he saw, only it was quite a bit bigger... Then like now and then other lights (some white) would appear out of nowhere (not from the clouds or nothing, just in the sky), go a ways, then dissapear... But they didn't blink (like plane lights)... they were moving too fast for planes that would be high up in the sky, and they were moving too slow for planes that were very low... BUT they were below the clouds, because you could still see them when they were over a cloud... And we just thought it was weird and we were standing out there for like half an hour just watching them... And then we decide to go back inside and finish the movie (and this was at night, BTW, if ya didn't already know ;) )...
But anyways, I was sitting down at my dad's desk yesterday and I see a newspaper clipping from the Washington Post dated July 27th... And I'm not gonna copy it word for word, but basically it was like... it was around 1AM or so, and people heard very low flying jets (as in fighter jets)... And they ran outside to see what it was, and they said they saw jets chasing a fairly low flying, good-sized, BLUE object... which eventually just like zoomed off...
So the newspaper apparently contacted the military about it, and they confirmed that they had picked up some signal on NORAD or something, tried contacting it by radio, but got no reply... And so they scrambled the jets... but of course, what did they say about the blue object they were chasing? Basically they said that they found nothing, and there was no blue object... And the thing eventually dissapeared from radar...
So anyways I just thought that was kinda interesting and I figured I'd post it here... I didn't hear any stories in the paper about the lights we saw in the sky (which was about a week or so after that story from the washington post, I think)... but meh...
So what do you think? My dad and mom saw the lights too, but it seems like everyone decided they were just planes... They could have been, but I already mentioned why there were like... INCONSISTENCIES with what planes are like :p
