Current mystery aircraft / urban legends

I don't see anything non-rationale in design _at first sught_. May be landing gears and their doors look somewhat off-oml, fragile and little bit suspicious.

What we suppose to see here I believe is a scaled prototype of NGB or LRS-B. If this is someone's modelling effort then it's quite plausible again _at first sight_.

Well, I have questions about that hanging control surface and MLG struts. They just don't make sense that's true.
With AI blooming number of those will be raising in exponential scale.

Here is just some further analysis of the post:
-The user's name contains the X-273, plus the "in the know" nature reminds me a lot of Smythers, a former click baiter in DLR. I know Smythers made claims of a secret operational aircraft and claims of what the X-273 aircraft was.

As for the photo:
-The mountains look like squiggly lines, which supports the general idea that this was made by AI.
-The landing gear doesn't look right, as pointed out, specially the front landing gear.
-No ramp/runway? Why is the aircraft parked in the dirt?
-The windows look off to me at least
-The front landing gear upon further inspections looks messy, like an erase mark (further proof this was made by AI)
-Why the film grain? Assuming an NGB/LRSB demonstrator flew in the 2010s, what kind of camera in the same time period would have so much film grain?

Just like everybody else, I wish this was a real photo. It's been some time since something "black" has been unveiled. Ill say this though, the sky looks nice in the photo.

I wish they would.

What "cover"??

Also, I consider it bad style to post an image without acknowledging the source. Here it is:

The poster at DLR ran the original grainy image through some "denoising" filter.

-No ramp/runway? Why is the aircraft parked in the dirt?
The image is too grainy to make an assumption about the surface to alleged plane is standing on.

-Why the film grain? Assuming an NGB/LRSB demonstrator flew in the 2010s, what kind of camera in the same time period would have so much film grain?
The OP at DLR (https://dreamlandresort.com/forum/messages/62748.html) seems to say, that he intentionally reduced the photo quality ("... they’ll release some photos, including this one but in higher quality.")


Anyway, someone who is good at using Generative AI, should be able to use this covered shape as a plausible starting point to create an image like the one at hand. Fill the image with some nice background, "noise" it to hide the lack of detail, invent a creative "cover story", make a reference to the leaked "X-273" designation ... and voila, ready is a quite elaborate hoax ;).
 
My preceding posting was edited to remove the link to the source of the "smoothed" version of the image shown in this posting, together with my criticism about not acknowledging image sources. The explanation I got from the Mod via PM is "There is actually a link in the original post". So it seems I made a stupid mistake, but TBH I still cannot find the link here to the source of the smoothed-out image. Can someone clear up my confusion? Thanks!

Sorry. I thought you mean original post with unedited pic. Restored your text.
 
I couldn't be bothered playing with AI long enough but the noise is just 25% uniform in photoshop or photopea IMO.

It doesn't have to be AI, it could just by a game called Flyout, It's very popular for fakes atm.

OMG Bounce has discovered the X-274! :p

Why would anyone take these sort of images seriously given how easy it is to fake such stuff these days? It's just not worth the mental effort of trying to analyse these images.

I could make so many AI images and spam forums with them. It will give us hopium to hopemaxx while the PLAN is busy invading Miami.

"Hey guys I found this image of a Northrop Grumman 69th gen fighter specifically designed to retake Miami, you will see this very soon with President Musk flies it into battle"
