    Oh God. It........ is a Kryptonian pod. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!?!? This means.......there is another, like me, on this planet. And if he/she is anything like those from my planet are, he/she is likely here for nefarious reasons. Find the nearest bomb-proof shelter you can, and sequester yourselves until you hear from me again. This is your first, and only warning.

    @TheSonOfKrypton: Kryptonian pods look more like a globule of calcium from the urinary tract of Darkseid, rather than anything with any sort of aerodynamic sense.

    It looks like a B-2 but not quite. Could potentially be an X-45 or X-47 aircraft. Both of which look very similar to the B-2.

    It's a UCAV...don't remember the name offhand but Aviation Week and some other av blogs were talking about this a few weeks back, just before the Predator-C/Reaper UCAV was revealed.

    Well, it's certainly not the Stealth Blimps that the USG has flying over Iraq that use biometric data gathered from cameras on the road and in cars combined with it's own "gait recognition software" to track you where ever you are. Sadly, Iraq doesn't have zip codes, which are really bombing co-ordinates and the +4 allows them to drop a precision ordinance on your house. That's why the census takers are using GPS, to correct the zip codes for proper bombing.


    (No I don't believe any of this except the Surveillance Blimps actually existing and being used to watch the coasts/sensitive areas for activity. This is a sampling of what the crazy people on the radio are saying)

    Don't think that four digit zip co-ordinate assist will help much in a high rise - which where we all will be living in the near future.

    That looks like the Phantom Ray UAV.

    It's not a B2 as the wheels are too large proportionally and the gear doors are not the right shape for a B2.

    @Pootie Tang: Are you people blind? Did you see the photo and the drawing? Once again:


    Good lord. It's not the fraking Phantom Ray, for chrissake. Not only the Phantom Ray is a prototype which just have been approved for ten more flights, but that shape (look at the photo and the drawing) has nothing to do with the Phantom Ray. Not to talk about the fact that the experts on the matter say that it is a completely new plane.

    It looks like the Boeing C-UAV "Phantom Ray" but that is suppose to still be in testing... I guess you can test it over Kandahar ;)

    Isn't this the "Phantom Ray" from a few days ago?



    But I agree it could also be an uncrashed B2, as the front gear has that weird B2 look.

    I'm not aircraft spotter, but that looks an awful lot like the B2 from the side, with the exception of those extra bulges.

    @gadam07: The wheels are way too large in comparison to the size of the plane to be a B2. If the B2 had wheels that big it would rival a monster truck.
