Posthuman Blues kicks ass

I've heard of these passing over wichita during 97 or so, headed toward the air force base there from a few guys who'd been sitting out in their back yard while drinking beer & listening to a baseball game:
"It was heading straight north. The right edge was over that tree." Las Vegas journalist Cateland White was in the backyard of her southeast Las Vegas home last year when she saw a dark behemoth fly over. She drew a picture and described, "It was triangular shaped with rectangular reflectors. No interior light at all. By the time it got out of sight, it was 5-8 minutes. It was so slow, I couldn't figure out how it was staying in the air."

White called the police, who connected her to Nellis Air Force Base, which is the direction the triangle seemed headed. "The man said, 'I don't want you to talk about this anymore, and you're gonna forget it.' I said, 'Look buddy, I'm not drinking, I'm not on drugs, something is headed for your base.' Then he got real terse and said, 'Mam, I'm gonna tell you one more time and this is the last time I'm gonna tell you. Forget what you saw and don't tell anybody.' At that point, I was freaked," described White.

The frequent proximity of triangle sightings to air force bases led NIDS to conclude two years ago that the craft must be part of a secret military project. But in the two years since, the triangles have become so prevalent over big cities and interstate highways that the theory doesn't fit anymore.

magnetic levitation? giant fucking lifters? These here sound like scramjets:
The boom that was heard across north-east Norfolk in the UK today was not caused by a British aircraft, according to a British Ministry of Defense spokesman. Lt. Col. Stuart Green of the Ministry said that the sound, which rocked the whole region at noon on November 7 was not made by "one of ours."

He thought that it could have been made by an American or other supersonic plane, but had no information about any such overflights. Military regulations prohibit the generation of sonic booms over Britain except in unusual circumstances, and it would not be normal for the aircraft of any country to do this without informing British authorities.

In the US, the sounds have been more frequent. In Richmond, they have been so intense that, according to an Unknowncountry reader, a video taken during one episode shows that the camera shakes from the power of the sound. The sounds generally take place late at night in the Richmond area, and local authorities are at a loss to explain them.

is there any doubt it's us? as in US? look back to tia or the new gig:
Advocates like Robert J. Stevens, chief executive of the Lockheed Martin Corporation, the nation’s biggest military contractor, said he envisioned a “highly secure Internet in which military and intelligence activities are fused,” shaping 21st-century warfare in the way that nuclear weapons shaped the cold war.

Every member of the military would have “a picture of the battle space, a God’s-eye view,” he added. “And that’s real power.”

Pro or con, the ideals of this new warfare are reportedly driving many of the Pentagon’s spending plans for the next 10 to 15 years. The grail: sending secret intelligence and stratagems instantly to soldiers in battle, making the military a faster, fiercer force against a faceless foe.
