From what i hear the U.S operates aircraft far more advanced than F117 F16 F15 etc...so why does it not use them in a war?

Surely they would be of use?

I've heard stories (can't remember where) of saucer type aircraft being used in the first Gulf War and all video footage being confiscated by agencies. Is this true?

like what?

Surely something must have come from all the Billions they've put into black projects other than stealth?

Who's to say the US hasn't used them in war? So many factors could contribute to keeping something hidden from the media so the public would never see it... Heck, with some of the camoflague in development you might not even be able to see it with your own eyes on the ground. Not to mention night attacks... Good luck seeing a flat black airplane at night...

I think the only reason the F-117 and B-2 ever came out of wraps was to boost moral during the first gulf war. And if those are being revield imagine what is still in the dark.

I'm sure there are machines that border on science fiction.

their numbers were underexaggerated. I spoke with someone personally who saw close to 20 F117's on the tarmac, and that was just in one location, and one that wasn't even one of the listed staging grounds (it was in Yemen, later they were flown out and based elsewhere), and this was during the first Gulf War.

I'm betting we also used a few TR38's (or under a different designation) as well, and that these were the sources of the UFO rumors, as witnessed by some coalition forces during Gulf War I.
