Very interesting find with the 'invisible drone'. I find it particularly interesting that the Phantom appears to wobble at lower speeds before it 'disappears' at higher speeds. Many documented UFO's have been seen to display this same characteristic.

There's truth in what you said JTH. The Air Force has called for as many Predators as can be turned out. The fallout from shot down pilots is just not worth it when you can accomplish the mission with unmanned vehicles. It may not be as glorious, but it will save lives. Flying air missions is all fun and games, until you get shot down and become a POW. You think being a POW was bad in Vietnam? Now that the gloves are off regarding terrorist 'deteainees', you think for one second that the other side (whoever it is at the time) is going to hold to the Geneva Convention? Hardly...
