Just seen this video:

Uh - whattheheckwasthat?

Probably fake or, at the very least, some sort of experimental drone.

The USAF have had saucer-shaped craft for years, albeit under wraps. The whole "Alien Flying Saucer" business was concocted by the CIA in the 1950s to keep the truth hidden.

Now, where did I put my tin-foil hat?

That was about as fake as an MPs expenses claim. Watch out for the fake 'chem trails' videos too.

I saw a 'real' (made by uni students) UFO on the Isle of Sheppey years ago.

If those two fighter jets were actually going that slow they would crash.

Stall speed only about 140 knots, so not without the bounds of possibility, but unlikely to get contrails at such low speed unless it there was a lot of moisture in the air

Not even under very good wraps. The supreme funny is that the first experimental saucer shaped aircraft known to have been built was in WWII, and it was a Skoda !

Unfortunately while the CIA may well have encouraged UFO hysteria to help cover up test flights (and there is very good non tin foil hat evidence for that) the whole UFO and alien thing is actually much older and there are documented reports of people seeing things way back before WWII. Hardly surprising given that many of the known common causes for reports (such as Venus) have been around for a few billion years

Im no expert on USAF aircraft or Russian jet fighter hardware, what type of planes are these? They both have double tail planes, US F15 eagle has these, so does Russian Mig-29 and SU-35. Are these american or Russian planes I wonder?

They look like F14's to me.

F-14 is the US Navy tomcat. They have all been retired nowdays in favour of the F-18 Hornet. I believe this video was taken this week. The thing I can't work out is what country? It looks either North America or Ural Russia??

Yes, all retired in the USA about 4-5 years ago, but it could have taken a couple of years for someone to release the video and edit in that object!    When you look at the wing detail and the angle of the tails...... I'm sure someone will know for sure! 

Utterly fake I'm afraid,

the f-14s are facsimile's of each other right down to the blurred aberations on the wingtip edges.

this isn't even a good fake. *sigh*  they might have actually made an effort

Im keeping an open mind. Apparently this is a recent video?? The other thing is that F-14's are/were aircraft carrier based, this seems very mountainous and inland to me. Also the noise of the jets seems fitting? Is this Russia or America? Are little green men here already??
