It flew fast like a jet, made a whirling sound and left an odd glow.
That's how an amateur photographer described a flying machine he spotted in the skies near Rose Hill on Friday. The UFO world is now paying attention to his photograph.
On Monday, the photo appeared under the headline "Weird Object in Wichita," on UFO Digest, a Canadian Web site.
The object looks like some kind of new-technology fighter jet, possibly a prototype, said UFO Digest editor and publisher Dirk Vander Ploeg.
Jarrod Bartlett, spokesman for Boeing Integrated Defense Systems-Wichita, said in an e-mail that he checked with flight operations staff "and they were not able to identify the aircraft. We do not often get calls regarding unidentified aircraft."

Those are a fake UFO. Why are “real” UFO pics always out of focus?
:)
MUAHAHAHA!

Bird.
Notice that the trees, clouds and contrails are in focus but the "ufo" is not. That means the "ufo" is closer to the camera than all of those. That means it's smaller. Bird.

The tail silhouette does resemble that of a B-2A B-2 doesn't have any tail surfaces.

” B-2 doesn’t have any tail surfaces.”
Ah, see, that’s what they WANT you to think.

I always wanted one of those. Especially with the little car behind for the mother-in-law. I have a nice mother -in-law though. The ability to fold it into a suitcase would be really cool as well. We need one of our genius engineer Freepers to get on that.

Looks like a blurry picture of a low flying DC-10.

What it really looks like is an old D-21 in piggypack mode. But those were all retired in the 60s. Of course they were retired before the government even admitted they existed so there may be some new version out there we don't know about.
