Related subject… I am in fairly rural MO. A couple of weeks ago as I was getting off the highway to drive back through the wooded roads that connect to my house I noticed a bright light overhead. It looked like a spotlight. As I turned off the high way and drive along the backroads I kept an eye on it. Eventually the spotlight went off, but there were still “nav” lights on the sides. What I thought was strange is that helicopters are LOUD, but I couldn’t hear anything. As I kept driving toward my house I eventually ended up directly beneath it. There was nobody behind me, so I came to a stop and opened the windows. Not only was it quiet, it was SILENT. I’ve heard many drones before - I even own one, but even drones make a pretty good racket with those four little high speed motors whirring away. I estimate it was only 100’ - 150’ in the air, but there was no moonlight to speak of, so I couldn’t even see a silhouette, just the lights. It was too close and too quiet to even be a drone. Besides, who would be flying a silent drone down this empty country road? I don’t have any answers, it was just weird. I’m glad my daughter was with me to corroborate my story.

We were on range at Fort Hood in the late 80's waiting on the Apache's and A-10's to make there firing run and were sitting on our tanks and never even heard the Apache's show up to the range. They were just all the sudden there. Was a pretty awesome sight to see them and the A-10s make their run
I was there around that time. Reserve unit. We were watching the firing range from some small set of bleachers if I recall. Pretty awe inspiring. America. Fuck yeah.
I recall thinking how tremendously HUGE the firing range was. You could put a small city in there.
