Jimbib Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 A picture of this bird from the same location appeared earlier this year, however this is the first decent snap of it out in public... http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/the-dewline/2009/12/kandahars-loch-ness-mystery-pl.html Looks similar to the Polecat.

+ST0RM Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Yea, this thing is all over the boards. What better way to test a new design, than under actual conditions? Maybe it was just swamp gas?!?! Quote
+DWCAce Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Looks like it might be the EADS UAV. Can't remember the name at the moment. Quote
macelena Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 EADS Barracuda had a different configuration, ressembling more like an ugly 5gen fighter than a flying wing. However, if not fake, i would say that i´ve seen that before, i´m sure we´ll find out Quote

TX3RN0BILL Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Kinda reminds me of the Go-229... only I bet this model has the benefit of fly-by-wire... Quote
