hello all I was a speaker at the rally and attende

Sorry I didnt get around to this sooner. on May, 31st,
at about 4 or 5 pm I first saw 2 UH 60 nighthawk heli's heading west to east going back to nellis while I was traveling north on I 15. As I continued scanning the skies for other birds. I noticed east of Nellis a black triangle sideways or banked and heading south. I thought it was an f-117 Norio had informed that some activity would be happening at about 4 to pm PST.

As I looked back from watching the and almost looking dead on and down the runway. I thought I saw an F-117 landing but upon closer review. I saw this F-117 had an bubbble canpoy and big gaping air in take like an f-16 but I also knew that was not an F-16.

I now belive that what I saw, was an operational prototype of Boeing's x-32 Joint Strike Fighter. The intake shape struck at the momment I was looking at it that day. After I reviewed the profiles of the boeing x-32 I came to the conclusion that it was the x-32
JSF.

The nellis combat aerial manuvering ranges, would be the perfect play ground, to test the x-32

Best regards to all
Aaron Johnson
