Airplane conspiracy

[Prizam]

Nope, not chemtrails. This time.

A few weeks ago, driving home I saw a military aircraft flying along the motorway, it did a dramatic tilt and bank then went off towards a field.

It immediately brought back a flashback from around 2001 (ish) when I saw a small jet aircraft flying overhead, with flames pops and bangs coming from an engine. It went into the distance and crashed. I remember the noise and the smoke rising in the distance. I lived near J12 of the M4 at the time and from memory, it crashed in the north-west direction from there.

I have searched the internet for anything relating to it, but can't find a thing! I phoned my mum who also remembers it, so i do think I am making it up?



Whilst searching the interwebs, I came across an article of an air "incident" I do remember. Sat in the living room of my then new house, I heard a sound that at first was like a very high revving 2 stroke moped, that got louder and louder until I instinctively hit the floor in my living room, fearing something was going to come in through the front window. After the noise started going away, I ran outside and saw in the distance a passenger aeroplane (big jet type) going off in the distance. It was REALLLY low.

So, I'm starting to get my tinfoil hat on. Is reading a hotbed for strange air activity. Is the government experimenting with chem trails on me?

Once my tinfoil hat is on, I get to thinking about other strange things that have been going on...

6 MAY 2015 - After 30+ years, the UK biggest Sunday market, held at Blackbushe airport. A shock announcement to close is made. No warning, and not a market held since.

31 July 2015 - The bin Laden family get killed off in an "air accident" at Blackbushe airport.

I think I'm right in saying that the RAF or any branch of the military are only obliged to report incidents if that incident took place on public land or impacted members of the public. If the plane you saw crash (if indeed it did) did so on military land then the RAF would not have to report it and - I assume - could even deny it.

There is one very well known "crash" at a London area RAF base from some years ago that got "cleaned up". It was during the night though.

I think your tinfoil hat needs loosening a bit. It was one of Osama's dad's wives (I hope my grammar passes), her daughter and her daughter's husband that died. Hardly "the bin Laden family get killed off".

Any more info? It would have been around 8pm, summers evening.

[red_slr]

It was several years before your incident.

Sounds a good story. Can we have some more details?

My years are based on a guess from a distant memory. It could have been anywhere from 1998 to 2008 in reality, I just cant remember.

The worst conspiracy is this despicable plot to replace that fine British word "aeroplane" with the awful American abomination, "airplane".

There are very few details. An aircraft crashed on take off roll at an RAF base in the South of England. It was a serious accident and the aircraft involved was reported to be the most advanced black project at the time. Thought to be from China Lake.

The panic button was firmly pressed and literally "everyone" was on scene within a couple of hours. There were specialist aircraft coming in and out for a couple of days. Some of which using unusual civ airports.

Several unmarked aircraft from the US and a C5 which apparently flew from the UK direct to Palmdale which for those who don't know is home to a well known black projects division of Lockheed.

Where precisely were you? There are plenty of RAF stations around Southeast and even more airstrips without a formal RAF station, e.g. Weston-on-the-Green. RAF Benson and RAF High Wycombe are just north of Reading, RAF Northolt to the east, RAF Halton northwest, and RAF Odiham to the south, all with plenty of military traffic. You can frequently see Hercules aircraft flying north, bank sharply towards west and drop a load of paratroopers over Weston-on-the-Green just north of Oxford on what probably are training jumps. I’m sure similar events are at least as common at all stations and bases.

That' sounds like the famous Boscombe Down non event.

[red_slr]

Yep, famous, non, event.

Over the weekend, a spitfire, hurricane and a Catalina flew over at low level. I naturally assumed I’d managed to get my time machine working.

The nearby air displays were coincidental.

[Kermit power]

What clearance do the RAF need to fly low?

I went mountain biking a few years back at Coed y Brenin in Snowdonia. The carpark is about half way up the side of the valley, and I was treated to a couple of Hercules flying down the valley below the level of the top, so that I could pretty much have waved to the aircrew on their level. It was rather impressive!

M1 near Northampton for that one.

The mystery plane crash was seen from Calcot, in reading. Nr J12 of the M4.

Just did some research, and RAF Welford was certainly in the correct direction. I didn't even know it existed.

There was an F/A-18 Hornet that was heading West after a Farnborough Airshow, which had a turbine disc explode. As far as I can recall, the pilot ejected. The public were asked to keep an eye open for parts of the engine, so the manufacturers could determine the cause of the failure. Your location would have been about right, but I don't remember the year (being the biennial Farnborough airshow, the year would have been an even number).

Lived in /around the area for 12+ years and never knew it was there.
