I have lived with this event my whole life and to this day even as a retired Military Air Traffic Controller, I remember the event like it just happened. This occurred on the Military air base formally known as Uplands Airforce Base, and while walking to an early morning hockey pratice I decided to look for stars to take my mind off being alone in the dark. I suddenly saw a very low, very bright,silent object with 3 blacked out rhombus shaped (windows??) approaching me a very high rate of speed. The object suddenly came to a complete stop right in front of me over a large tree approximately 200 AGL. It appeared to just stop and take notice of me in my hockey gear and hovered silently for about 20 sec and then at an incredible speed left at about a 45 degree angle towards some clouds and just disappeared. It was initially flying to the best of my knowledge, down the military flight line from the International side of the airport.
