The Stealth Blimp is believed to be an electrokinetic propulsion type airship operated by the government of the United States. Very little is known about this type of aircraft but it is known that Lockheed Corporation has had a design for a stealth blimp type of craft from 1982. There have been multiple sightings in the United States and Europe throughout the 1990s of triangular lights in the night sky, however the United States and European governments have made no statements about whether or not such a "lighter-than-air" ships exist. While many believe that these triangular craft are a type of alien UFO, there is much more evidence backing up that this is a military project rather than an otherworldly spacecraft. This type of aircraft is rumoured to be associated with the US military base in Groom Lake, Nevada (unofficially called Area 51 by some) project.

[edit] Sightings

[edit] California Sighting

On December 26, 1999 there was a sighting reported of an arrowhead-shaped ship in southern California. There is very little known about this sighting.

[edit] The Lebanon, Illinois Sighting

At approximately 4:00 a.m. on January 5, 2000, a man who had just drove home reported to see a "flying house" with many bright white lights around its edges and one red light in the center in the night sky. He reported that he had seen the flying object heading from northeast to southwest. The Lebanon police department was told to keep an eye out for the object. Then at approx. 4:10 a.m. a Lebanon officer called in a report claiming that he had seen "a massive elongated triangle." It was then that the object turned towards Shiloh where another officer reported seeing a large dark "arrowhead" moving at a slow pace in the night sky. A Millstadt officer sees a low flying (500'-1100') "fat arrowhead" shortly after the Shiloh officer. The officer took a picture of it with his Polaroid camera but later on the pictures did not come out as well as the officer had hoped so he rushed back to the station and made a report of the sighting along with sketches. He reported that the object had changed its course slightly and was moving northwest towards Dupo. At 6:50 a.m. a schoolteacher in Centreville, Illinois reported seeing an arrowhead shaped craft while he was driving to work. Overall there were four reports from police officers and about a dozen reports from others during that night.

[edit] Arizona Lights Sighting

Main article: Phoenix Lights

On March 13, 1997 thousands of people saw a V formation of lights hover over Phoenix and many other parts of Arizona. At approx. 8:16 p.m. a series of reddish lights were reported by a former police officer and his family in Paulden, AZ. One minute later some residents in Prescott, Az reported seeing a strange object with a triangular ray of lights. Other reports came in from Chino, Valley, Tempe, Glendale, Phoenix, Tucson and Kingman, AZ. A statement by the Air Force identified these lights as standard decoy flares deployed during a training exercise; while some have refused to accept this explanation, analysis of video footage of the lights shows them to have a color spectrum consistent with burning magnesium, that they are in a constant slow descent consistent with a parachute-slowed flare, and that they disappeared as they pass behind a mountain.

[edit] The Stephenville Texas Sighting

On January 8th, 2008 several residents of Stephenville, Texas reported seeing a large round object hovering about 300 feet over the ground. Some eyewitness accounts claim that the object was at least one mile long and a half-mile wide, but all maintain it was very large, very quiet, and that the strobing light configurations were highly unusual for a conventional aircraft. One viewer stated as to having seen military jets fly past this object.
