Not completely. There was a sighting of the lockheed fast mover.

There's nothing about fastmovers most of the time. FALCON/Blackswift was a big exception and it can be fun trying to figure out why it was grouped up with other efforts in the grey.
There was more to Falcon then they led on, alot more as has been established in the Blackswift thread.
And if i had to speculate - it may have been used to cover, say, certain short term needs as well.

What ?

a reply to: B2StealthBomber

Can you elaborate a bit more on that please. Are you talking about an aircraft or your digestive system ! What time, estimated direction, location, day/night?

Super/hypersonic?

We desperately need new terminology...

Where it was ?

About 14 hours ago, around plant 42, that’s all I’m saying.

a reply to: B2StealthBomber

Yeah, sorry, that happens when we get stuck a couple days with bad food options.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Hahah, I’m sure you can confirm this too.

There’s also a thread on the military projects forum of someone hearing a rumbling from the sky they haven’t heard before in another part of the country.

Somethings testing at the moment. Potentially coming into the grey world given the areas it’s operating.

a reply to: B2StealthBomber

I used to hear a very distinct rumble at silly hours in the morning where I live in UK. A friend of mine told me 12 months ago something was being changed and I wouldn't hear it again after that. They were correct. There is always the possibility that it just stopped flying over my area of course.

Whereabouts in the U.K. do you live to hear “the rumble”...??a reply to: nelloh62

God Bless the United States of America.

Do you think of something new with new engine type ? Or related to the B-21 because it is built at plant 42 ?

a reply to: darksidius

Or, more likely, it's something perfectly normal like an F-35 that happened to be flying a night supersonic flight for any number of reasons.

a reply to: Zaphod58
I don't know why but I have the feeling that you joke me
On what type of forum we enjoy I don't think B2stealthbomber show us a F-35 rumbling but I can be wrong

a reply to: darksidius

No one knows what it was. But just because it wasn't seen doesn't mean black.
