Is this USAF’s 4,602mph HYPERSONIC warplane? Google Earth snaps mystery craft in Florida

A MYSTERIOUS aircraft snapped in a Florida airbase could be the US Air Force’s top-secret hypersonic warplane, according to huge claims.

Defence firm Lockheed Martin is understood to be working on a state-of-the-art spy plane for the US Air Force, which could reach over 4,600mph.

Google Earth images have now surfaced of an object bearing a startling similarity to artist’s impressions of the plane.

The silvery shape was spotted at the end of a runway in the swamplands of the Sunshine State, US.

According to Tyler Glockner – who uploaded the clip to his YouTube channel secureteam10 – the area belongs to an aerospace company that has a “main foothold in designing aircraft engines that are widely used in civilian and military aviation”.

“That gives us a hint they work with secretive things,” he added.

MYSTERY: A strange craft spotted in Florida could be the USAF's secret hypersonic warplane

============================================================================================================================

“What you’re seeing is a very mysterious object.

“I haven’t been able to find out what this is.

“It is no public aircraft that has been disclosed.

“You can see that this thing looks like a hypersonic aircraft or spacecraft.”

More than 390,000 people have seen the clip and were quick to offer their suggestions.

“Definitely seems to match the images of that fast jet, but why would they leave it in the open?” one asked.

Another agreed, saying: “Not very secret if they're out in the open for anyone to see!”

But a third wrote: “These look like powerboats, could be something else but there is a massive lake not far away.”

Here’s a link. I notice there is another diamond shaped boat on the other side of the building.

Drones are of two types. Full scale (converted fighters, F4, F16, etc.) and mini drones. Specifically designed and built to accomplish different profiles and save money compared to full scale. The drones are used to shoot with missiles as part of the Weapons System Evaluation Program (WSEP).

Not to mention looking through that canopy while flying would be like trying to hunt while wearing goggles smeared with vaseline.

I wad thinking in terms of an atmospheric craft like a fighter or bomber. Combat maneuvering at 4,602 mph other then using an entire continent to turn a corner would be hard n flesh and bones.

Correction:

Maps doesn’t do the word “Degrees” imbedded with coordinates, so:

26°55’42.3”N 80°20’24.4”W

I also looked on Bing Maps, and it shows the wingless one behind the shorter bldg, but not the new one shown in the video/Google. Google Earth has an Imagery date of 3/21/17.

The Bing map looks older, but doesn’t have a date. Also on the Bing map, there are no vehicles. The place looks totally abandoned, yet the wingless item is still there.

I think this is a fail. No aircraft, maybe someone’s speed boat project...

Two of them crashed nearby, but I'm not supposed to say anything about it.

Now they have to kill me.

We were getting sonic boomed like crazy over here on the gulf side a couple weeks ago. These were not the usual ‘plain Jane’ sonic booms but it could be the weather played games with the way they sounded. Sounded like the Navy had a new and powerful toy.

That is a model on what is clearly a radar cross section measurement range.

I listened to some podcasts about this very group. Famous names in Hollywood and London, who started in this secret Army group that built lifelike sets to fool the Germans.

Saved huge numbers of lives. Churchill’s idea, of course.

It would take some digging for me to find the podcast right now, but its out there and well worth listening to.

Fascinating, fascinating stuff.
