4 Military planes fly past flying rod, and information blackout still ocurring.
This sighting is noteworthy because it occurred on the same day that the military F-117A stealth plane flew by the Syracuse airport, then went to Maryland then crashed. I had the luck of photograhing the F-117 as it flew by the Syracuse airport. The object I am writing about was seen & photographed in North Syracuse, on 9.14.1997, the day of the air show here, & very close to the airport, within 2 miles of the airport. I was about 50' North of a car dealership sign, the object in the sky was southwest of my position, in the sky. I was off of South Bay Rd. in the above mentioned town when the unknown object was seen. My car was parked near the dealership, & the sign when the unknown was seen & later photographed. The object was somewhat boomerang shaped, the middle was more flattened out however, one source has labeled it a flying rod. A hair on a camera lens comes to mind, as does a tree twig, but the object was seen before it was photographed. The object appeared dark in color, the sun was out but there were numerous big white clouds in the sky. The day might be considered a day of filtered sunshine. (?) Beside myself as a witness, I was able to photograph 4 military aircraft flying by. The military planes were flying in a westward direction, as the object was moving past me in the sky in an eastward directn. The object maintained its shape from the time I saw it until I actually photographed it. After I photographed the object, I lost track of it. Note also that I have sent the photographs to Langley, AFB & had received a thank-you letter from the commander at that time, now retired, but no explanation from the military as to what I had photographed. I don't think the object was any cause of the F-117 later crashing, believing the occurence to be something of a coincidence. This unknown was very obvious, but possibly very short lived in terms of duration: I believe nothing has been mentioned in the media about it. However it is almost 4 years later, & I still do not know what the object is. I have a possible suspicion about a 2nd unknown object in the 4 military plane/car dealarship photo. The military, NY MUFON, & NASA have been sent the above mentioned photos. The object I am writing about made no sound. Your organization may email me. Until I know what I have photographed, I would prefer not to give my name out.
