Noticed from some Twitter feeds that the Nighthawk has been out and about again around Area 51. Still looks like something from the future.

Re: 4-5 Jets Over Bedworth Warwickshire

Hello all

Does anybody have any idea what the 4-5 jets were that flew over Bedworth at high altitude at about 2:50pm. They were in loose formation. Very unusual
