Saline Valley, CA

Took pictures of an experimental aircraft climbing above the Hot Springs in Saline Valley, Ca leaving a extrodinary trail.FYI: On the morning of 11/07/09, I was taking pictures of the Hot Springs in Saline Valley, CA. a very remote location. It is usually occupied with about 100 visitors at a time. An experimental aircraft left a trail of a high speed climb making the shape of the letter "C". I have often watched the Thunderbirds in Las Vegas, and this climb seemed extraoridnary. I will send the photographs but I probably have already edited them for contrast and color on Adobe Photo Shop. About 10 minutes afterwards, two US Navy jets showed up, but the aircraft was too high and fast for the pursuing jets. The aircraft headed in the direction of the Nevada Test Site. About a half hour later two U.S. Air Force jets showed up and straffed the area. This military activity is a usual activity, but the area is overseen by the Death Valley National Park Service.I have seen a similar trail of a climbing aircraft from the east side of the Nevada Test Site in Ashprings, Nevada. I have pictures but they too have been edited. The picture was taken into the sunset.((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD))
