Didn't know if anyone saw what I wrote in the current survey about life elsewhere. This I posted on the Dreamland discussion forum:
I was on a flight Sunday evening (9/27/09)from Chicago to San Jose, California. I had a window seat facing south. From the time left in the flight I knew we had to be over Nevada and I also knew the large orange glow of the metropolis far off to the southwest on the horizon had to be Las Vegas. It was around 8:30 pm.
I was casually staring out the window and saw a fairly large lighted patch of ground area with no other lights anywhere within miles about 20-30 miles to the south of our plane. Based on where we were and seeing Las Vegas off in the distance I wondered if I was seeing Area 51 out my window.
Suddenly a perfectly round pure white ball came straight down from above at high speed in the vicinity of the lighted up area off to the south. There was no "tail", no orange glow of maybe a meteor heading towards the ground. I've seen meteors before and one time coming down within a few miles of my house, trailing flames behind it.
The "ball" shot towards the earth, then suddenly it was gone. No impact, no change of direction, nothing. Just disappeared completely.
Right now we're approaching a full moon so I could also see the moon off in the sky. The size of the "ball" looked to be maybe a quarter the size the moon appeared to be. I have no idea how that would relate in actual diameter for something 20-30 miles away. It happened so fast.
I sat there in shock and looked around to see if anyone else had seen this. If they did no one said anything. When I got home my wife said I should have reported it to the flight attendant. My response was "What could they do about it?"
It's something I saw that was not normal and for sure no meteor.

So did anyone else on your forum see it? Or comment on it? |

The only thing I can think of that would explain it is fireworks. But know if that would fully match your description.
I believe in what you've seen, however, I think there's a less supernatural explanation to it. |

On a serious note here, but CK, how are we expected to believe you? Especially after admitting too many a people that your recent comments are written to shock! |

Could not be fireworks. We were flying at 31,000 feet. This ball of light came down from above where we were, trailing nothing behind it.
If you don't believe me, that's your problem.
I did get a possible explanation from someone regarding classified work and testing going on at Area 51. I've been in aerospace most of my career and know people who know these things. |

Writing to shock people doesn't mean that what I say isn't true. It just means the manner of writing sometimes is intended to shock. And, if you noticed at all, I don't write much stuff to shock people anymore. Too old and bored to care anymore. |

Not you. southernyankee.
There is no logical interpretation except for men from Mars or the classified version explained to me. Makes sense. I saw wingless craft being made years ago in black programs areas so I'm sure the sophistication is much more advanced now.
If you look at a map of Nevada there is basically no civilization there other than around Las Vegas and along the northern part. It is where we tested nuclear bombs. Nevada is a vast wasteland not fit for life. I am not interpreting anything. UFO means Unidentified Flying Object. That doesn't automatically mean aliens although it has become the popular term.
The only natural occurance for this would be a meteor. No way this was the case. At the distance away from the plane this thing had to be at least 20-30' in diameter. We were flying at 31000 feet. The UFO came down from who knows how much higher, straight down at high speed. It left no trail behind it. It was pure white, perfectly round. Then as it appeared to near the ground it suddenly disappeared. Something that size would have made a decent impact and explosion if it were a meteor. |

Was it a solid white glowing mass? Because - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning |

Interesting but not likely. There were no clouds in the sky and it seems that ball lightning would have a fuzzy edge and imperfect in shape. What I saw was pefectly round with a distinct hard edge. |

It doesn't fit the description of any UFO's I've seen before...but it could have been some alien kids hot rodding around in their custom gig and got lost. |

We saw some weird lights in the sky last night, . streaks of white lights, very bright in the dark sky. It was pretty and scary at the same time. My Son thought it was northern lights. We have never seen northern lights in michigan. I thought Northern lights were colorfull, these were just white. Are we being invaded?! |

Kind of, but the lights were pure white, no color, and the were up and down, like pointing down towards the earth. |

Or just some guy letting a helium balloon fly to make us think his 6-year-old is missing for his new reality TV show. |

I do not remember you shocking people in terms of fact or fiction, but more on the lines of social commentaries and personal views on subjects. |

Wicksy was questioning whether or not I was telling fact or fiction, assuming that previous 'shocking' posts might be false. My reply was that I've always told the truth about everything, shocking or not. I just get into moods where I feel like being shocking/abusive, etc. The mind compels me at times to 'release' and tell all but I have to fight it and keep it back from the brink. |
