Heck, I'm on a high-speed connection, and it's a pain for me to have to scroll around to see the dang thing.
It's a mini-B2 UAV, from the looks of it.

"a tailless unmanned air system in support of... the U.S. Air Force’s future Long Range Strike Program" = subscale prototype of the B-3 next-gen stealth bomber.
