Aircraft recorded over Area 51

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post, but it's a pretty cool story. Project Fear, a group hunting for the paranormal and UFOs, actually managed to record footage of a completely unknown US fighter jet over Area 51. It is currently unknown if it's related to the upcoming F-47, F/A-XX program, or something else. Credit to Project Fear for actually having a rigorous setup - multiple cameras (visual spectrum, multiple types of thermal) from different vantage points. The consensus in the aviation world is that the footage is legitimate, as far as I can tell.

Sandboxx News has a few videos on it. The first two are 5 to 6 minutes long, and the last is 30 minutes.

These YouTubers have so far contributed more interesting results than Avi Loeb and co! Kudos to them on the fantastic work!

The filmed craft bears some resemblance to the McDonnell Douglas X-36 and the Boeing Bird of Prey.

Both of those are actually on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force!

There's also some resemblance to the Chinese J-20 when seen from that presumed angle too.

Isn't this espionage? I don't like it.

Okay, it's a testing range. I'm sure they're testing stuff there. I'm not sure what the "paranormal investigators" are doing there, though. And getting a few shots of a UAV or fighter jet that isn't immediately recognizable seems like a booby prize for someone who's out looking for reverse-engineered UFOs.

It is, however, an attainable booby prize.
