United States advanced technology aeroplanes such as spy planes and stealth aircraft have often been mistaken for UFOs, a recent CIA report has suggested.

>

The report listed six spy aircraft most likely to have been confused as UFOs. These are listed as: the RQ-3 Darkstar; U-2 spy plane; SR-71 Blackbird; P-791; F-117A Nighthawk and the B-2 Spirit.

These planes may be most often mistaken for UFOs, but that does not mean that most UFOs are these planes. (The old “ A->B <> B->A”).

Most of those I’d probably recognize. But if I saw one of the ones I didn’t, it would be “unidentified.” Hence to me, by definition, it would still be a UFO. :-)

I met an air force guy that said everytime they took a new plane out for a spin there would be a rash of UFO sightings. I believe that that accounts for some sightings.

They've failed miserably at being stealthy(!) if they're being commonly mistaken for anything.

I saw a UFO quite recently. It was a plane painted to look like Air Force One (really), but since we don’t have a president at the moment, I wasn’t able to identify the plane.

Will have to check the OP later.

Generally . . .

advanced planes have often been construed to be UFO’s.

Some even reportedly have dual propulsion with anti-gravity as well as conventional but advanced conventional propulsion.

Certainly not all UFO’s are advanced planes.
