Here's something to try for fun, overlay the dimensions of that LM iron bird to those of the X-44 which was supposedly "cancelled" in 2000.
Striking, huh?

I doubt this would be available on the net if it was really flying. It would have been scrubbed pretty quick if it was...

If that person was adequately informed to give a definitive answer then they are on their own as there is no general consensus by the ITK's on similar sites and/or their sources aren't talking.
If the person on this site just guessed and it happened to correspond with some info an ITK had received then that makes more sense.....

I reckon that aircraft has good potential ....
Still can't get my head around how a scrub would work though......
Lets say someone PM's me a pic of a never before seen Aircraft that is secret and I share it online via links to several photo sharing sites, Reddit, 4 Chan and Mega where I upload as several thousand encrypted files of the photos with varying sizes and titles
Everyone who views it in the next hour takes a copy (knowingly or unknowingly) however the DIA spots it and orders the scrub.
How would they go about this if I am just a regular Joe sharing it with other regular Joes?
Yes they could track down me as the sharer but me and the other 1 million people who might have seen it are not NDA'd so what can they do aside from closing the Internet ( in which case you send hard copy/Fax old school)
If everyone involved was in the US and the files were all hosted in the US- then maybe but that isn't how the internet works so doesnt make sense.
I would be interested to hear of any proven examples of information being scrubbed from the net and/or pics making it on to the publicly accessible TOR network which were then left in place due to them being "hidden" - which has also been asserted in the past by ITK's and is a similarly flawed statement from a technical standpoint.

There has been pictures scrubbed, it usually works along the lines of finding the person who posts the image if it's not their image finding out where they got it, a nice little phone call usually gets the picture pulled immediately.
Now in your case as a regular person, if you pissed off the wrong people I'm sure they would bring down the wrath of God until you cracked and gave up the person that gave you the image.
There was a bunch of threads of another website talking about classified systems that are only now in the grey they all got pulled as well.
