PATUXENT RIVER, Md. - Remember the UFO' that motorists spotted along D.C. highways back in June?
The saucer-shaped object caused a stir in the area prompting many to call 911 and to post photos on Twitter.
We later learned the mysterious object was an experimental, unmanned aircraft called an X-47B.
The aircraft was delivered to the Patuxent Naval Air Station for testing and on Tuesday FOX 5 got its first close-up look at the drone.
According to Northrop Grumman, the saucer-like shape of the aircraft is a deliberate effort to make it harder to detect.
Remotely-piloted aircraft like the X-47B can be used for surveillance or can carry weapons.

Where do you want its operators to train on it and test equipment for it? I vote for Tehran.

“They can train all they want. I dont want them flying missions with our citizens as their main target.”
That's a tough one. If I get to pick the targets then maybe.

They could certainly deploy along our southern border ... heavily.
But those targets aren't our citizens ...
