Pictures Of Mystery Plane Over Wichita

a reply to: C0bzz

The Tupolev PAK DA isn't supposed to be flying yet, but the US NGB was on the planning board in 2008.
Could be a prototype test flight over Wichita in 2014 to see who would notice?
Its banking left a little..

The leading edge is lit up because of lighting, as shown on the B-2 in this picture here.

The only parts that differentiate this from a B-2 are:
- Wing sweep, although this could be an illusion due to the aircraft banking
- The trailing edge.

There's also the possibility the picture is fake.

More like Northrop Grumman was flying their NGB proof of concept aircraft in the late 2000s, possibly even in 2008. There was a fight over a government funded contract worth as much as 2 bill US-$ to build a demonstrator the years prior. Northrop won, Lockheed lost. The DoD subsequently restructured NGB into LRSB, probably after they showed then SecDef Carter the demonstration vehicles.
Lockheed funded their own LRSB efforts out of their own pockets. Reportedly they began retrofitting a previously abandoned stealth penetrator test article right after they lost the demo contract to Northrop.

As for Wichita and NGB/LRSB:

Wichita had nothing to do with the LRS-B program.

Zaph say a lot of time than the Wichita have nothing to see with the LRS-B , but the photo is not a fake , remember the events in the world at the time of Amarillo and Wichita.

What confuses me is how everyone could really believe that our military has went through so much trouble the past 5 decades to keep experimental aircraft highly classified and all the sudden just decides to just fly one over a populated area.

The reason, hiding in PLANE site.

It similar to this craft though

Im thinking testing its capabilities over the population.

Except it had nothing to do with aliens or reverse engineering.

The Dorito Avenger is one I believe
they can let out of the Nacho Cheese bag
at this point .

Spooks had more to do with that flight then E.T

There are other things in the air that look more like ET then this

a reply to: UnderKingsPeak

Not the avenger. Way cooler.

Hey the vehicle in that link is 100 percent human conceived and built. It also doesnt look exactly like the one on your link.

Its a Grey not Black

Looks like the new B-3 LRS bomber.

Whatever it's exact designation, it's killing it's stealth by leaving a long contrail behind it. I hope they don't do that when we have to bomb North Korea.

Contrails only form in a very specific region. All they have to do is go above or below that altitude, which they will have very carefully forecast before launching any missions. These flights were meant to be seen. And it wasn't the B-21 over Wichita.

Local AF base was unable to ID the thing but said it may be a B2, just not one of theirs.

Well no kidding. They called McConnell AFB, and all the B-2s are based at Whiteman in Missouri. Of course it wasn't one of theirs.

As for what it is, it's a black project. Before anyone says it, it's not the Amarillo aircraft.

The most interesting part from my point of view, is the fact that the witness reported absolutely no sound issuing from the aircraft.

That is extremely strange.

Once it becomes a white project, (or a civilian aircraft company suddenly creates a noiseless engine...) it will be a huge boon to the commercial aircraft industry, and for all those angry people living beneath busy flight paths...

As a show of strength toward a certain troublesome Asian nation do you think?

a reply to: MysterX

The B-2 is extremely quiet in flight. I've had them fly overhead at less than 1,000 feet, and didn't hear them until they were just past me. At that altitude, unless conditions were exactly right, you wouldn't hear a large stealth aircraft, due to the tricks they use to hide and cool the exhaust.

a reply to: MysterX

They were sending multiple messages. All were received as hoped.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Sweet.

Thanks.
