Just wondering, has anyone seen one yet? Does anyone have any details they are willing to divulge?

So that's where the solar powered stealth UAV we were testing on that beach in Texas has gotten off to.
I wonder if we'll ever catch up to it, that sumbitch was expensive to build, the AI very progressive. The prototype proof of concept briefing is due next April. We still have six or seven test profiles to run, and being unable to recover it at the Port Isobel test center, so we can reconfigure it, is putting us further and further behind schedule. GAO is breathing down our necks, darnit!
Looks like I know what I will be doing when I get back home to Texas: flying about with that airborne butterfly net again.
*sigh*

OK, so it's a hoax being run as real news by a quasi-reputable news organization for no reason whatsoever. Gotcha. I'll have to chalk MSNBC up with the Belgian air force and government, and all the other crazies.
:P

MSNBC is like a 4 year old; desparate for attention. :lol:
