You may want to post this in the Aircraft Projects. There are some incredibly knowledgeable people in there that can usually identify any aircraft.

Could you do a sketch and post it here?

It does seem strange, especially as you could not hear it.

Edit to add

Where are abouts are you in the UK?

Did it have any kind of lights on it?

Sounds like the Nuclear powered bomber that they said they scrapped. It looks like that and the fumes would be the heat from the exhaust. I hope they are not flying it around.

Propellar because i could hear it whinning. The bigger plane really made it look tiny.

Hmm.. im still included to think this might have been some kind of glider. Hopefully some of the experts in this forum may be able to shed some more light on the matter. Good luck

I was thinking about the possibility of a B-1. It has a VG swept wing design like the Tomcat so that could explain how it resembled a Concorde... also it has extremely small stabilizer wings towards the front of the fuselage. The object in front... and escort fighter perhaps? B-1's are massive in size...

Concorde but shaped like a Harrier? Umm ok. What part of UK are you from? Please draw a sketch.

Yeh! thats it! It was black though and slow for a jet, and made no noise. So are these bombers notorious? and why is it over the uk?


That plane doesn't actually exist.

I doubt even a nuclear powered bomber is silent

A Nuclear aircraft merely substitutes burning fuel for reactor heat. Of course it will make noise, however no nuclear powered aircraft exist.

Even though you are sure it wasnt a glider you have to admit it was moving at glider speed if it was following a propeller driven aircraft.

Aircraft can vary speed, quiet significantly. Turboprop aircraft do not typically fly at glider airspeeds - most would fall out of the sky if they attempted to.
