I've seen fighter jets fly over my house the past few years and military helicopters. They'll fly in circles for 30 minutes or so. Some flew around today and I got it on video. Unfortunately it's an older camera so I have only one choice, video tape off a t.v. I'll up it soon. Some of the choppers are solid black and flew only at night and some were open on the side with a big gun.
when i was about 6 my dad and i were flying by castle airforce base when the blue angels were doing a show... they played with us. i swear that if they werent wearing helmets i could tell you the color of there hair! it was awesome! loud as hell but unforgetable. we had a cesna 182? and then a 210 later...
ya when I was like maybe 10 a figher flew just above my house, like maybe 10 feet above, I was outside my brother and I dove underneath the truck, we almost crapped ourselves, it was sooooooooo loud!! I didn't know what was happening, found out later that they were doing menuvers out over the Ocean near us, ya really near us LOL
they would buzz the beach at the lake where we have a cottage and i mean very low would scare the sh*t out of you and make your bones rattle. they stopped after a few calls to the base ...think a few of them got in alittle trouble.all in good fun i guess.
Dive bombing?!?! Looks like farmers have a difficult time judging distances. T-38 Talons are TRAINING AIRCRAFT for both the USAF US Navy, and are *BARELY* supersonic (Mach 1.08), and on the average run much quieter than their F-14, F-15 and F-16 counterparts.
I had a fighter jet dive bomb me at supersonic while I was fishing on a boat in the middle of a lake, many years ago. He came up from behind me. He was below 1000 ft. Man it was loud!
U can tell this is fake; at one point u can hear the RC prop engine. my brother used to have rc prop planes that looked like jets. (I think he may have had this model, but I can't remember)
Some1 just superimposed the sound of a jet over the actual sound from the tape. I've heard real talons, too; they're twin-engined, and the engines produce a whining sound along w/ the sound of the exhaust you hear w/ every jet.
That is not an RC engine. It is the sound of the stunt airplane, which the jet was very close to when it was flying low. The stunt airplane is a prop and shown at .33.
Time to trade in your brain for one that works properly. They are regular people not a filming crew. It's 1993(15 years ago). The video description talks about how the tape had to be digitized through another camera resulting in even worse quality.
Perhaps the Prop pilot and the T38 pilot were talkin to eachother on the radio, the jet pilot showin a fellow aviator what his plane can do and vice versa. Goot times ya know?
OR one upping each other with the "..Center, this is 55mike, ground speed, please?" I know a guy with an AA1 Yankee who was one upped by a Mooney, to a 747 to a "...center this is Magic 76bravo, ground speed, please?" -pause- "Air Force SR-71, 2000 plus, you guys know the space shuttle is on orbit and out running all of you right now?" It was in the early 80s.
First reaction should not be to think UFO conspiracy, but to get hold of a Sectional Chart and find out if your house is underneath a MOA or other airspace used by the military. Trust me the guys who fly jets are NOT the ones trying to cover up UFOs.
We have jets training over our house all the time. REALLY low, not like this one. So low that you don't even know about untill BAM it's right above you, cos it's faster than the speed of sound obviously. But That was quite high up in my opinion. Here they're sometimes so low that I've waved at the pilot and he's nodded his head and waved back. I wouldn't worry about it love.
ok.... it isnt unheard of for military aircraft to and and refuel at civilian airfiellds as to the whole UFO thing, thats just retarded. Also the T-38 was never an advanced aircraft even when it was new, advanced trainer yes but technically pretty simple compared to the fighters of its day.
If they wanted to intimidate someone, they will send over one of those alleged Men in Black or some other people in a van, not buzz the farmhouse in a trainer jet.
well im pretty certain the jet is a Northorp F5 tigershark, or maybe in this case an RF-5 tigereye which is the same aircraft but modified 4 recon use. it must be said that the F5 is no longer in service of the US airforce so 1 is not sure who owns that 1 in this video
This i was like the time the Snowbirds (our canadian aerobatic team) flew in formation low over our city. 2000 people, including my mom, called the police to complain, and 3 lawsuits were filed. What losers! It was just some planes!
Youtube: Not the place to garner sympathy for yourself when you're complaining about some hot-in-the-throttle pilot that buzzed some farmland 14 years ago.
Anyone can put anything they want on Youtube. Any date is allright too and many are older that this. The comments, telling when the video was made, were put on with the video. Not asking for sympathy - the plane obviously didn't crash into a house. Just saying this is dangerous to civilian aircraft and people might be filming when pilots do this sort of thing.
My previous comment was deleted - you live in uncontrolled airspace... that's where maneuvering can and should take place. NASA and the USAF regularly fly training missions in T-38's for pilot training. Stop being stupid... nobody cares about your farm, especially the USAF, NASA or even aliens.
Laws exist governing ucontrolled airspace, including how low aircraft can fly and how much noise they can make. Just ask the jet pilot, who flew a politician over Columbus in a low jet last year.
Restrictions exist to a degree regarding altitude - but I seriously doubt that the AGL limits were violated in your case. Furthermore, noise restrictions are only in place over specific populated areas to remedy a chronic problem; Case in point would be Virginia Beach.
...for the record, the F-16 "incident" in Columbus, Ohio did not involve uncontrolled airspace. It was over urban areas including Ohio State University. A few dim-witted people got scared and no official charges were brought. The flight's purpose was to familiarize the LtGov with the Ohio Air National Guard's F-16's capabilities.
when was this, im in col, oh ... the only thing i can say about this bit is... ne one think it might be an air show.. looks like 2 different planes.. i know here at Boltin Airfield, they have air shows and the planes fly low everytime.. its to get ppl to come find out why these planes are doing this...ie: get ppl to the show...durhhh
Typicall UFO stuff....unclear...not ready..where's my camera...shit, no film....zoom in....shake....and a big, big story behind it... All in all, more comment than video...
How close to an airport do you live? Two options: 1) They wer being radar vectored over your house 2) They were flying overhead patterns that brought them over you house. The last part of video where he was high was probably him departing to go somewhere else.
We live fairly close to a large civilian airport (around 20 miles away) and to several smaller ones. We are quite a distance from any military airport. The civilian planes go over the place all the time and we are used to jets going over.
Ho-hum, another conspiracy theorist. Looks to me like a student pilot engaging in some unauthorized practice. Trust me, everything you see is not the government intimidating the UFO crowd. You are not at all important to the government.
well then you should call the video"neighbours run out of their house when they hear jets over head and i filmed them",oh i get it, that title would be too long so you used"fighter jet dive bombs farm house after ufo report"good idea,got my attention..
I was lucky that the plane stayed around long enough for me to photograph it. Otherwise I would have had to calll it "neighbours run out of their house when they hear jets over head and i filmed them." This way I got both in the video.
All I have for proof is a video of the jet flying low over the house. However, some of the neighbors watched what happened and others ran out of their houses like I did.
at exactly what point in this video does this jet dive bomb the farm house,cos i sure as hell see nothing other than a jet passing over head that you zoomed in on,and whats this got to do with ufos,its clearly a military jet...
Please read the comments. The jet dived toward the house. I was in the house and did not have film in any camera. It probably took me about 5-10 min. before I was able to make a video. By that time the plane was higher. I filmed the neighbors, who were outside and had watched what happened.
Ever consider that you might live inside a MOA or a low level military training route? How about that T-28 that was diving down, ever consider that there might have been a fly in or air show locally? Some how I doubt you investigated it any further than that. I suggest you stop with the rhetoric and UFO propaganda; you have lost just about all credibility.
It was a T-38, not a T-28. No, I do not live anywhere near a low level military training route. As I said in the comments section, I checked for air shows all over the state and found none.
Gotta love the know-it-alls. The Air Force DOES still fly T-38's. For instance, there are scads of them at Sheppard AFB, in Wichita Falls, where they're used as trainers for NATO pilots. I used to watch them fly day in and day out while I was there for AF tech school.
I said in the comments that it is a trainer. However, makeing low-altitude dives over a public recreation area that is loaded with civilian aircraft is not the place to train astronauts.
Part of the farm is near one of the largest recreation areas in the state. Its reservoir and surrounding land comprise almost 10,000 acres and it has over 3 million visitors/year. Many civilians use it for flying. They fly ultra-lights, Para gliders, flying parachutes, custom-made craft, Cessna and piper cub type planes, stunt planes, hot air balloons, etc.
Reply continued. Numerous balloons have landed on the farm. Blimps and helicopters travel through following a near-by Interstate freeway. Small craft are over the area most of the time in the summer. There is also a model airplane area. The area is in or near the glide-slope of 5 civilian airports.
People like you are the really dangerous ones, no the pilots of our countries aircraft, military or otherwise. People like you lobby congress to change law or rules which result in taking away more and more freedoms in this country. People who do not know what they are talking about, such as yourself, or those who do not know any better, come up with an unbelievable story that sounds credible, but in reality is way off base.
Irena...it's been known to happen, but do you think that they were flying/screwing around the recreational area before they went into one of the five airports with a military contract for fuel.
The video was taken in 1993. According to several recent government publications, the T-38 is still in service as an US Air Force advanced training aircraft. An upgraded version, the T-38C Talon II, entered service in 2003. The US Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards AFB and the Calif. Air Force Material Command use them.
NASA uses them as trainers for astronauts and as observers and chase planes of such programs as the space shuttle. The Pacer Classis program and an Avionics Upgrade Program are expected to extend the service life of T-38s to 2020.
Actually that's incorrect...the Air Force DOES use the T-38 extensively...especially as a training platform. The 14th FTW and it's squadrons at Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi. Just Google Columbus AFB or 14th Flying Training Wing and you'll find out.
The paint job and the fact that the airforce has not flown t-38s since the mid 80's marks this as a NASA training aircraft so you're not being dive bombed you are witnessing astronaughts being taught how to handle High-G manuvers.
Do some research...the T-38C(new glass cockpit) is the advanced trainer for students with fighter/bomber follow-on assignments. By looking at the paint scheme, this video was taken before the USAF wnet to the two-tone grey.
Well it sure sounds like the government did a good job of silencing you up by flying low over your house! Mission accomplished! Fucking Mickey Mouse bullshit...

I had same thing happen to me, filmed 2 hours of it! I uploaded a segment of it. I was buzzed by a fleet of military cargo jets, they sure wasted alot of fuel to buzz my house over and over while I filmed it all!
Sorry about the bad video. As I mentioned in my comments, I was lucky to get any video. Also I had to digitize my VHS-C tape through another camera to upload it into the computer.
the t-38 is a trainer plane, most comonly used by nasa. it carries no weapons. it is used to train astronauts and test new systems. it would never be used to intercept or do any dive bombing. mot likely they were test some new system and needed to drop to a lower altitude.
I mentioned in the comments that this was a trainer plane. I quoted the witness, when I said dive bomb. Around here dive bomb, simply means a swift, steep dive, not dropping bombs. This area, however, would be an extremely bad place to test systems, because there are many civilian aircraft in the area.
Um, its a trainer jet and they always like to screw around like that. He doesnt even carry ammo

An upgraded version, the T-38C Talon II, entered service in 2003. The US Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards AFB and the Calif. Air Force Material Command use them.

NASA uses them as trainers for astronauts and as observers and chase planes of such programs as the space shuttle. The Pacer Classis program and an Avionics Upgrade Program are expected to extend the service life of T-38s to 2020.

Actually that's incorrect...the Air Force DOES use the T-38 extensively...especially as a training platform. The 14th FTW and it's squadrons at Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi. Just Google Columbus AFB or 14th Flying Training Wing and you'll find out.

The paint job and the fact that the airforce has not flown t-38s since the mid 80's marks this as a NASA training aircraft so you're not being dive bombed you are witnessing astronaughts being taught how to handle High-G manuvers.

Do some research...the T-38C(new glass cockpit) is the advanced trainer for students with fighter/bomber follow-on assignments. By looking at the paint scheme, this video was taken before the USAF wnet to the two-tone grey.

Well it sure sounds like the government did a good job of silencing you up by flying low over your house! Mission accomplished! Fucking Mickey Mouse bullshit...

Sorry about the bad video. As I mentioned in my comments, I was lucky to get any video. Also I had to digitize my VHS-C tape through another camera to upload it into the computer.

the t-38 is a trainer plane, most comonly used by nasa. it carries no weapons. it is used to train astronauts and test new systems. it would never be used to intercept or do any dive bombing. mot likely they were test some new system and needed to drop to a lower altitude.

I mentioned in the comments that this was a trainer plane. I quoted the witness, when I said dive bomb. Around here dive bomb, simply means a swift, steep dive, not dropping bombs. This area, however, would be an extremely bad place to test systems, because there are many civilian aircraft in the area.

I quoted the witness, who said it dive bombed. I didn't mean it dropped bombs. It definitly dived, though.
