"most secretive jet spotted over Area 51"

You know, for a "secretive jet," they sure are doing a lot of yapping about it.

Saw one of those but matte black flying low and quiet over the Trinity Alps a vouple years ago. At least I can place a probable name to the plane.

If the right one there was barely an engine sound.

It was never a secret. It's T-43 modified to be a Radar Airborne Testbed, hence the term "RAT".

But if corporations don’t leak secrets how will they drive up their stock value? CEOs need food, too. /s

“The RAT55, distinguished by its ‘fat nose,’ ‘hump on the top,’ ‘hump on the belly,’ and ‘big protrusion in the back”.

Sounds like a guy I knew in Brooklyn.
