A rocket landed in Peel Park school yard yesterday and according to my 4 yr old daughter little men in green suits came out of it!

About 9 years ago my late husband and myself and youngest daughter took the dog for a walk (Mimi was in nursery school) and it was a lovely day. Emz being quite small with little legs enjoyed a sit down now and again so we were sitting in a field, Peter with his eyes closed doing that 'not asleep' thing that men do and Emz and I sitting on a grass bank with the dog on a long lead.

I looked up in the sky and saw a long oval silvery thing appear from behind some trees in the foreground, hover and then nip back hidden behind the trees again. I prodded Peter to look towards the trees. He looked and it appeared again and then rapidly shot off toward the Coppice and beyond.

No idea what it was but it was weird.

Yep, radar only, they found out that despite all the investment in making it radar invisible it disrupts mobile phone signals so it can be easily tracked using simple radio equipment.

WillowTheWhisp · 16-01-2007, 10:48

Ah but can they make em invisible to the naked eye Ian?

the government is investing millions in stealth technology and fly prototypes over our towns, the idea is that if it gets past mum it can get past anything
