Yeah, I figured they knew who I was within a couple minutes of spotting me recording them. It appeared to be black against the night sky and had a few blinking lights that formed a triangle (anti-collision lights I assume.) When it got super low I could see that there was a very faint white/blue “glow” around the entire airframe, it almost seemed sort of like an electrostatic field. It looked pretty much identical to those photos of the “high-altitude mystery jets” that were published in The Aviationist. (I attached those photos they published to this post, but the link is at https://theaviationist.com/2014/04/23/two-different-black-projects/ )
I’m glad the pilot was a cool enough guy to let me get a good look at the shiny new toy (but maybe they wanted to be ”accidentally filmed” for propaganda purposes though…considering the recent rumblings of war with Russia/Iran.)
B2 is a beautiful bird, I don’t think I’d be able to resist taking pictures of it either .
