not wanting to hijack or divert the thread but having watched the video I can see how UFO stories started before the days of social media.

In the "middle of the night" three black "objects" land at a "rarely used" US base and then taxi to the apron where they are back lit from hangar lights before being pushed inside and the doors closed. anyone seeing that without knowing the B2 existed would be convinced they were being crewed by "little green men" and the US Government was covering it up.

Yes, the internal cockpit lights were illuminated before they shut down...and they weren't little green men.

I agree last night the X3 lights in a triangle shape, with a bit of mist and surprisingly quiet engines (compared to a Buff or B1 anyway) has probably confused many, incl UFO hunters. What I did notice is once on the ground the GE F118 turbofan engines are very noisy (grinding) and they keep them running for ages...not to let the 'little green men' out though! Hopefully a new Notam will soon takeover :thumb:
