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.
Awaiting TWZ piece with zillion cross-urls in hours
I wish they would.
