Rumor has it that this is a variant of the Loyal Wingman program. https://t.co/d7mt2N4DQO

At least it should be less noisy than the F35s. Damn, taking off they will strip the paint from your walls. ETA Certainly quieter than when they tested the MOAB.

Usually F35’s or 22’s out of Tyndall ETA: interesting it matches the UAP in that frame. Out from Eglin is where they saw “the big one” and Rubio supposedly has seen the goods.

[Last Edit: WhiskersTheCat] [#48]

My personal guess is a classified drone. Here's my bullet points for my argument:

- I imagine a Loyal Wingman would resemble the Ghost Bat being developed by Boeing.
- If the new, different 6th gen Loyal Wingman, we know NGAD has already flown. No one has seen that, therefore I imagine the 6th gen LW are under similar security.
- USAF is already thinking of replacements for RQ-180
- RQ170 has the bat type design, B21 has swept wing type bat design, therefore I imagine the new drone will be similar.
