-Black-and-white image reminds me of the F-117 but really I have no idea.

Ah the colour photo shows a B2.... blind freddy can see that.
The black and white picture shows a different shape.

-wing sweep looks too extreme to be a B-2. Perhaps an prototype from the NGB program that is being flight tested for LRS-B requirement. Lockheed has several facilities in TX.

-From TimTyler on the same page (AW):

Sweetman & Steve Douglas have a longtime symbiotic (or parasitic) relationship. Douglass magically sees & hears things which he attributes to being part of 'black' programs, and Sweetman eagerly publishes, speculates & pontificates on it. It still usually adds-up to nothing new factually.Amazing how Douglas comes up with grainy photos, but his claims of associated radio traffic --often very specific dialog -- isn't backed-up by any recordings. Back in the day, he was affectionately know as 'Dark Star Douglas' due to the claim (published in AW&ST) that he intercepted some sort of 'black' aircraft using the Darkstar callsign (which in reality, was & is a standard E-3 AWACS back-end crew callsign prefix).

sigh... im sure I speaka gooda English.
THE COLOUR picture shows a B2. The plane is not directly overhead so the "apparent" wing sweep appears different.
Its not rocket science.
The Black and white picture has been altered or is a different picture. The two photos are NOT the same.

-the two photos are not the same. thus the argument is not valid. the first one can be attributed to B-2 Bomber ,the second one looked more like a heavily modified triangle figure [ATTACH=CONFIG]226784[/ATTACH].

-Lockheed has several facilities in TX.
None of which a secret project would operate from...ever been to the ex-Carswell/GD-Lockheed plant? No place to hide it there.

-looks very similar to the Boeing X-48 RC test aircraft.
used to test the concept of a BWB (Blended Wing Body)

-"TimTyler" is a serial troll who exists to slander Douglass - who has not worked on anything much with Sweetman in the last 20 years. So that post means about as much as the witterings of any troll. I see it's gone now.

-Possibly a stealthy transport plane as reported by Fox.

-I'd love to see Boeing build a BWB for the next tanker contract. Let the US DoD and NASA fund some groundbreaking work for a new generation of efficient transports.

Seriously? We'd be lucky to get an adequate amount of conventional Commercial airliner based tankers :)
