Around 4 o'clock in the morning, I saw something VERY real, and VERY scary.

I bet it was in Colorado. Seems to be a mecca for strange events and strange people.
Yeah, well, you know.... That's just, like.... your opinion, man. " The Dude "

Ya know, Obama was on the high-speed rail bandwagon promising to invest $8B on eleven high-speed rail corridors across the country. Maybe he's testing the prototype.

Kansas City and surrounding cities are pushing very hard, even against public opinion, for a light rail system to use the existing rails that are underused. They are determined to make it happen.
If society fell apart, we - the people would build a new one. Most people are good at their core, and when we see things that are wrong we work to fix them together. Make friends with your neighbors, get involved with your community - because we will rebuild our lives, our communities, from horrible circumstances we always will.

I just realized that I sent you three photos. I thought
I sent you two photos and the entire AVI. So, yes, I
can send that to you...but it will have to be tomorrow.
I got work to do in the shop/garage. It is much easier
to work in the cool of the night than the heat of day.
Also, I have alot of other footage and photos, let me
pick through them and see if there is any I can share
that do not reveal where the photos were taken from.
Now, someone said that the story would be more
believable if I were to include what state I am in.
Honestly, I don't think so. How many people ever
post here and have ANY photographic proof of
their claims? Not many. So what state I am in,
to me, does not add to the veracity of the story.
Secondly, they do not have my ISP. I am not
going to say exactly how I surf completely
anonymously, but it involves a wireless
ethernet router, "some other computer",
and "some other wifi" connection.
Someone asked how many acres I have, this
particular property - where this happened I
have other properties but they are only 4-5
acres.
Stan, thanks again. I have your email and I
will send you some other footage and photos.
The 20 seconds I filmed, it was real weird
because the audio is all jacked up...I was
wondering if it was some type of frequency
coming off of the train.
And I did not mean to offend anyone by
revealing that us "country folk" refer to
SOME city people as "cityots".
It just irritated me that so many people out
there are so jaded that they tear everything
apart - calloused by all the B.S. that is,
admittedly, found everywhere on the web.
Cool Chick, what do you think at this point?
So, thanks to everybody for the great comments.
Where are they NOW....Where are all of the
people who implied that I made this up?
Next, I suppose, I photoshopped the pictures.
lol
OP - why are you so worried about location, revealing yourself, etc. and whether or not you post pictures?
If, as you said, you perceived the train to be a "show of force" and they are driving around at night through towns with all the lights on that are "bright as day" then they are NOT hiding. "They" are wanting it to be seen.
So, what are you hiding it for?

Are smaller rail companies owned by other countries?

My 'gut' is telling me he's in Colorado or NM. (I should lay off the jalapenos.  )
I really would like to know how fast OP perceived the train to be running as compared to freight train or passenger Amtrak...
OP?

With that said....
The first story was that Obama was making
an unscheduled stop in a "big" city that is
well over an hour's drive from my location.
The radio story really confused me, because
although Obama was appearing somewhere
many miles from me - and outside of the
county I live in - the news report specifically
mentioned that Obama was "traveling thru"
the area of the state I live in.
So, it was not an invasion force,
it was Obama traveling via rail.
Haven't read the entire thread, but Obama made an unscheduled stop in Cedar Falls, IA at the Pump Haus pub on Aug. 14th:

Nancy O'Dell mentions the motorcade with the ambulance.

One of his few good ideas...
Improved tracks could handle 150 mph plus trains....
If you add up all the time on the front side of a plane trip and then include the time in the air and on the tarmac waiting to get to the terminal, then high speed light rail would rival the airpain travel .

RE: Around 4 o'clock in the morning, I saw something VERY real, and VERY scary.
I'd say OP lives in Iowa:
http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-08-...dent-obama
Quote:The president has been making a beer-heavy three-day swing through Iowa, sharing lagers with his supporters in both Des Moines and Cedar Falls, and even revealing that the White House makes its own home brew.
Obama latest stop was Monday night, when he dropped in at The Pump Haus pub in Cedar Falls.

From the White House:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/10/2...r-rail-c-0
Quote:The $8 billion in the Recovery Act for high-speed rail was step one, a down payment on a national network that, within 25 years, will give 80% of Americans the choice of traveling from downtown to downtown by high speed passenger train.
Has pic of Amtrak high speed train.

Acela:
http://www.amtrak.com/media/acela/acelaTour.html
Read:
http://www.trainweb.org/tgvpages/acela.html
Quote:The Acela Express is Amtrak's new high speed train for the Northeast Corridor, located in the northeastern USA. It is a distant relative of the French TGV high speed trains, because TGV builder Alstom participated in the consortium that designed and built the Acela Express. However, despite its appearance here in TGVweb, it is misleading to describe the Acela Express as a type of TGV. While the two may look similar at first sight, they have very few components in common.
