Wow, very cool.
I don't think I've ever seen this aircraft before.
I need to get out more...

Doubt you have seen this before Ken, this was what they thought the F117 looked like back in the early 80s when they were still testing it and scaring the bejesus out of the skywatchers out at Groom Lake.
Pretty nice little build Stitch. I've always wondered if that thing could fly.

MP I dunno it can fly, it nearly took a trip earthwards when I got rather frustrated near the end, but I don't think it'd get very far! It woulda been cool to see a real one flying though!
Stug it's wierd to imagine this as so futuristic when it was from the 80s, it still looks futuristic now!!

That is quite the flying machine and I believe it looks very good.
My home is about 100 miles from Groom Lake. My office is only about 10 miles from Nellis AFB. Working nights we occasionally travel upwards 100-150 miles to conduct an investigation. It is amazing just what we see sometimes flying around at 3 or 4 am.
It has gotten to the point where we just watch, shrug our shoulders and go about our business.
Case in point was a sighting three of us made one night at about 3am. We knew it was an aircraft, but exactly what, was open for discussion. Low and behold a year later photos of the "Beast of Kandahar" are released. A frikkin' stealth drone!
They are flying things out here we may never know about.

I suspect we've all seen secret flights and not even realized it, I know I've seen things flying around that I had no idea what they were.
Hey Stitch, why is it your threads that I always seem to take off topic?

Haha I dunno man!!! This is cool off topic though - We never get anything so dramatic here in deepest darkest Scotland!!

Or have you and you just didn't know? The truth is out there?

It will get you thinking.
My take is they deliberately fly some "black" project near a populated area. There have been a few "sightings" in northern Utah and southern Nevada in the last two years. If you plot the sightings on a map, and include the direction of flight, you find a big racetrack pattern that comes REAL close to beginning and ending in Area 51. My guess is they attempt to occasionally generate "UFO" reports to guage the public's reaction to what ever they're testing. If it's stealthy, fast, and real secret, what better way to see if you're on the right track than providing a glimpse.
Late at night in Las Vegas is like early afternoon anywhere else. McCarran Field is so busy all the time they have to stay away. The window here is between 0230 and 0430. Then again Elvis is seen several times a night in Vegas and nobody notices
