What I don't understand, and what I've never heard properly explained, is why our military would fly this kind of craft repeatedly at a low altitude over populated areas, hovering in full view of civilians, as happened many times in the Hudson Valley in the mid-80s. The only reason I can think of, and I don't see why they would do this, would be to convince people that the aliens are here. Obviously, many people who see this thing at close range are going to think exactly that, and those directing these flights would certainly be aware of it. So, can anyone provide a decent explanation for the behavior of these craft, assuming they are man-made?

If the X-48B is a remote-controlled drone, why does it have cockpit windows?
Or is the remote-control thing just an added feature? Like certain Boeing jets......edit on 19-9-2011 by DamaSan because: (no reason given)

We are making huge leaps in aircraft design, my personal favorite is the first link as that has seen airtime and is still under concept correction

That kind of defeats the "stealth" part now doesn't it?

I've seen one of these TR-3B type craft up close, and those run fast and silent. They have multi-colored corner lights with a plasma like ball lightning center to them. Blimps you say? How does a device filled with O2 manage to hold together so well at high speeds with wind resistance, drag, and friction?
I just don't see how a "blimp" can move as fast as I've seen these things move.edit on 19-9-2011 by JibbyJedi because: (no reason given)

Theoretically, the only mission profile for such a craft would be low altitude stealth reconnaissance or covert troop insertion, and the running lights would seem to negate its ability to function in such a role.
