Some thing flying over Las Vegas on 10/30/03

My avatar is an interesting cloud formation taken in the Southeastern US. Never seen a cloud look quite like this.

Yes it looked like that picture

That is an interesting cloud formation. It look like the craft i has seen but Very much Bigger

I will be out of town for the next four day so i wont be able to answer any questions tell i get back

The back of it was straight, the height was the same on each said, and it wasn�t as long as the stealth bomber. I didn�t hear any sound from it and it did maneuver really good when I saw it turn. It also didn�t have any contrail to it.

If what you saw was the same height on all sides then I'm skeptical that it was the elusive manta. Equal height on all sides indicates ZERO aerodynamics... flying brick in other words.
There's a possiblity that your sighting was something a bit more exotic... Before we go there could you give a little more detail on the height being the same on all sides?

From the view I had it look like it to me. But it probably didn't have the exacts same height each side.

I will give you more detail when i get back if you still want them

no aircraft can be nuclear powered yet. too much mechanics to get into the air. wont work. and maybe it will never work.

That's funny, because the B-2 has really weird aerodynamics. To my eye, it looks like it should create NEGATIVE lift. But then I'm probably just missing something out.

Nope. Did work, worked quite well if you don't mind getting radiation poisoning. Was eventually ditched.

Nuclear Aircraft Propulsion

There was also a plan in the 60s for a Mach 3 nuclear-powered cruise missile/UCAV that would kill everybody underneath with its shockwave and then nuke the target...
