    It's not like Britain doesn't have a military. Every single country has its secrets, no matter how small.

Chances are what you saw was a jet fighter (which make a hell of a racket). They come over my house quite often as I'm near a big army base. They can be heard for about 20seconds before they fly over and the sound is that loud it bounces around and you'll often end up looking in the wrong place for where the jet is coming over.
      Ive seen jet fighters before and they look nothing like that. Plus this was damn huge.

              Maybe location of nuclear weapons?! My guess if it really was a "spy plane" that was seen, it would be an English one doing security monitoring, that or a new super duper traffic warden giving parking tickets or issuing speeding tickets.

                Bare in mind it was night, bare in mind it's outside of the range of time of your average sleep-wake cycle which in turn inhibits your cognitions. It's highly likely that you're exagerrating what you saw. And regardless of what you say about the sound barrier, it's illegal to break it over land in the UK.

                    I saw aliens this morning. But then I poured milk into my bowl and I ate them. They were green-colored, and looked almost as if they were four-leaf clovers.

                    I could hear their miniature screams as I ate them. They taste like marshmallows.

                        Thats fine, but the sound barrier definately was being broken.

                          I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Dean's statement does come pretty close to calling you a liar, simply without saying it.... Which simply put, isn't nice...

                            I'm not calling you a liar as the poster above implies , however there is no way that the sound barrier was being broken. Not a chance, as others would have heard it, reported it and it'd have made some kind of news.

                              That doesn't have lights on it and the US wouldn't be flying it over England. Iraq maybe, but not England.

                              You keep saying that there is no way that the sound barrier was being broken, but then you say that jets can break the sound barrier. If something can break the sound barrier, then there is a way that it can be broken.
