    Amazing how similar its shape is with basically all of the modern cruise missiles.

      I was thinking the MQ-1 Reaper UAV in terms of that pinched-edge profile.

    What's crazy about this thing in person, is it looks totally fake. It looks like a prop from a highschool theatre production. Crazy to know it actually flew and did testing.

      I have seen it several times but never really looked at it until this week. The one on display does look suspiciously like a prop.

    Area 51 is in Nevada, NOT at Edwards AFB, California. Active radar sends out a signal that tells everyone exactly where you are.

    1977 of the have blue project,
    False.
    1972 was the Have Blue project also known as the hopeless diamond.
    In 1977, the have blue project became the F-117 project.

    Just saw it in person. Had me wondering if that was the actual flying model, or a demonstration of the demonstrator itself. Either way, I love the B-21's quirky Grandpa

    As another commenter has pointed out, the moment you turn on a rada, you are advertising your presence.

    A book on Tacit Blue tells the story of an engineer on the secret program who was going to a company party with his wife and saw she had a “white whale” pendant on her necklace - said he could not tell her why, but she had to get rid of it.

    Tacit Blue is one of my favorite airplanes. Truly groundbreaking.

    I can't watch anymore.
    My biological father worked on these programs and there's just a lot of mistaken information here.

    project harvey wasnt originally named that, they came up with that name after the whole thing ended

    I'm pretty sure DARPA wasn't involved in designing the A-12 or SR71

    I always pondered about stealth coatings. I want to experiment with Pyrolytic Graphite suspended in solution and painted into place to cure aligned via tripod mounted external magnetism. Hopefully creating a hard wearing thin and lightweight radar absorption material in either horizontal or vertical alignment to the hull, or alternating in layers, as applied. Being a directional Diamagnetic for manipulation of application, and Electrically/thermally conductive to do the task required.

    Rapier was British not Soviet.

    How many UFO sightings could be attributed to this but they can not yet declassify the flights 😂

    Area 51 is not part of Edwards Air Force Base.
    Edwards is located in the California desert just north of Los Angeles, California and noted for the advanced development of aircraft but due to its location can be surveilled by practically any passersby.
    Area 51 is located at least a couple hundred miles east of Edwards adjoining Las Vegas, Nevada and is not accessible or viewable by the general public.

    0:22 Kipper and Kippur are two different words, not pronounced alike at all. They have different and unrelated meanings. A kipper is a fish. Yom Kippur is the Jewish Day of Atonement. Just thought you'd like to know.
    On reading other comments it seems this isn't the only error in your video. I'm outta here.

    Area 51 is at Edward’s AFB…. Really? I can only assume that all information in this video is as accurate as that simply ignorant statement… fail.
