Could be that those UFOs everyone is seeing is really a real stealth bomber. You have noticed that the only pictures of UFOs you see are lights. I mean, honestly. We have camera lenses that can count the grains of sand on the moon. And nobody can get a genuine visualize on a stealth bomber at fifteen thousand feet?

What you don't know won't hurt you....unless you are the enemy.

I'm not sure if that was a sarcastic statement or not (my mind is not fully functional at 4:55am) but if it is not the stealth refers to the bombers radar cross section, which is extremely stealthy. It also doesn't reflect as much light as your standard aircraft coatings and the noise is surprisingly low as well as the Infrared signature.

I have been flown over by a B2 Spirit once at a NASCAR race at Infeneon Raceway in California, it was flying low at a pretty good clip, was a impressive sight. In fact the only thing that thing that even came close to that was when two A10s warthogs were doing training over my property they came over my pond 5 times like they were on a strafing run, the noise was quite impressive.

To everyone that thinks that is a F117 you need to take a better look and perhaps put on your glasses you can clearly see that the picture does not have the vertical stabilizers (correct name alludes me right now but like I said it's too early) if that was a F117 it would be in serious trouble and about to spiral out of control.

Here's a comparison for reference.

Most operational B-2s are based out of Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, Missouri (Warrensburg and Sedalia are the two larger towns that lay in the flight path). Take 50 West from Sedalia and they will often fly right over the highway on final approach. A bit of a security concern in my estimation - but I'm not sure what all kinds of measures are taken to sweep and secure that general ground space (IE - would someone show up to keep an eye on you if you 'camped' along the approach).

I'm sure the Air Force Security Police have a standing agreement with local and state law enforcement, it'd be insane otherwise don't you think?

Or perhaps the old Zagi B2 stealth RC plane.
