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.

Pax River makes sense for a test area. I remember when they were testing the F-14 out there. They've done test work out of that facility for decades.
I am opposed, however, to the proliferation of drones for snooping randomly on American Citizens going about their everyday activities.

Rocky Rococo walks into Nick Danger's office.
Nick (thinking to himself:) "Pyramid Patchouli. There was only one joker in L.A. sensitive enough to wear that scent...and I had to find out who he was."
Rocky: "Good evening, Mr. Danger; allow me to introduce myself. My name is am Rocky Rococo."
Nick: "Thanks, half-pint. You just saved me a lot of investigative work!"
