Cool tale but again human memory plays tricks - the Boscombe Down incident was in 1994.
With a plane following and no lake in view?
Seems to me like it's an optical illusion -- what they call a "fata morgana" or "superior mirage." So you're seeing a roughly cone-shaped island and its reflection on the water, apparently elevated by refraction. And a plane flying in the foreground.

true, but what went into Mildenhall that day....

And at maximum, some may be nearing three decades old(at least the stick, can't be older than that, no earlier than the Lockheed- Martin-Marrietta merge in 1994) Why do i have the feeling that most of these parts are sourced from craft that saw their heyday in the 90s?
Could be. Albeit a boring possibility that makes the whole matter less exciting.
We’re only 7 days into 2023 but it’s a very promising start with regards to the ‘Things That Never Happened’.
I've taken a look at a few LM products and as far as I can tell, the closest thing that cloche/hotas resembles is the ones on the F-117 and SR-71.
I see, that may be so, but there seems to be some credit to it, as SMC Consulting might have some ties to the USAF, to a certain degree
It was only 3 threads, but I thought it was on the relevant threads, so I did that. I apologize if you think that was wrong of me to do
Visual stealth? Sure!
Yeah, that probably still needs more work
Ok let's do Project Yehudi all over again....
I was gonna ask what's Project Yehudi, but I looked it up, and based from its basic objectives, it seems to be that the Chrome Raptor might be a testbed for said project, which may go to the NGAD.
Is his last name Santos?
Sort of like early F-22 and F-35 flying with radar reflectors added to wing tips to reflect huge primary returns to leave bad guys guessing as to the true "stealthy" nature of those birds.
Project Yehudi installed bright lights on the leading edges of B-24 Liberators that were hunting for U-boats during the Battle of the Atlantic (1939 - 1945). Since North Atlantic skies are a pale gray during winter, they found that any paint scheme created dark shadows, so they added bright lights to match the dull background. Since Yehudi lights were invented around the same time as radar, they were never placed in production.
Interesting. Maybe that's why I've heard some theories about the US Military attempting to develop color-changing paint as a form of active camouflage as well. If combined with stealth characteristics, and if the paint itself is comprised of RAM, then it should be an effective form of stealth. However, it's still gonna take a lot of time for such tech to come out though, unless they already have it, and they're just keeping it under wraps.
Shhhhhhhhhhhh!
Sorry man, sometimes, theorizing and speculating can hit the jackpot, like some of these so-called Conspiracy Theories turning out to be true. But I doubt that happened yet, because they obviously know much more than we do, and they're not letting any of us know, for good reasons, I hope.
The sighting is BS - you can not accurately estimate distances and altitudes from the ground. Also, you can not see details while looking at an object from 10-15 km’s away.
