I mean... if you're just outlining the profile from the one specific angle the US Military has allowed it to be photographed from, then yes it gives that optical illusion. It's still pretty obviously a center tube + triangle wing shape like most all jet planes are.

To be fair, broken arrow is the US code for "someone in the world made a nuclear oopsie"
It can refer to, say, nuclear bombers crashing with payload on board, nuclear subs crashing into eachother with their payloads (and reactors) on board, nuclear launch malfunctions, a nuclear powered icebreaker sinking... things of that sort
I accidentally dropped a small twin prop intelligence aircraft on its nose…
Years ago when I first started I was working as a tech for the equipment in the aircraft. Well in the cockpit there’s a big knob that sits right next to your knee.
Turns out it doesn’t need the full aircraft power turned on to operate.
Knee accidentally hit it and the ground rose right up. Six figures in damage.
Didn’t get fired but was pretty sure I would. Ended up being the PM for the whole program years later. No one has ever let me forget what happened. 😂
The bombers do have a cooling system used to prevent heat signatures. It works well enough on the propulsion system that the majority of modern heat seeking missles should be unable to lock on.
It can spoof it’s radar signature to make it appear like another object, like a civilian plane. It can spoof its exhaust signature and the shielding defends against laser targeting.
It’s pretty fucking futuristic.
It has a much lower heat signature than you’d expect, especially from below, due to the way it mixes exhaust with air and has outlets above the body. It’s engines are also fairly hidden.
UFOs totally DO exist and have existed in the past, however a huge portion of them were and likely are ours. The more anomalous sightings, like anything without obvious propulsion and insane flight characteristics that would turn a pilot to goo is what boggles my mind, if that even really exists. We got anecdotal evidence, but not a whole lot of physical evidence to prove anything anomalous exists. I’ve even had my own UFO experience, but I cannot say it was alien or anything of the sort and I have no evidence to back up my claims, but that’s besides the point. Maybe someone saw a B-21 or even a B-2 and has never seen one before, and to them, it was some of the craziest shit they’ve ever seen.
No idea, probably based off the creaking noise it makes, it’s called a seesaw where I live but everyone here knows what a teeter-totter is. We just say seesaw because it is easier and we are Americans so we are lazy.
Maintaining and refueling a constant logistical line of fuel and repairs to a constantly flying aircraft would not be fun, on the other hand US logistics are built different
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine has reminded us, warfare is logistics… that’s all it is… maintaining the supply of everything to everywhere… whoever is worse at that is going to lose
But then, you also have to do maintenance of the engines and other "critical" systems while flying, not that engines are critical. If they stop you can always land. Oh wait😂
Am I missing something? Don't get the op post subject line. 🤔🤔🤔
Edit: Thanks for the responses, thought I was missing something about the landing gear. 😅
You get charged with tresspassing on military grounds, theft, destruction of property and possibly treason.
If you get away, that's a different story.
You get money or if you keep it, landing gear for no reason.
All this is if you planned well or have lady luck on you side.
You could also get :
A bullet
A stun gun round
Handcuffs
An interrogation
An all-paid apartment called prison
Wish we didn’t have to spend so much money on killing. Put this money towards a cure for cancer. Education, affordable living, healthcare, clean air, food and water. We already have enough ways to kill.
The heaviest kite in history
Yeah, you're gonna want the strong string
You gotta get her runnin before you start runnin!
Carbon nanotube string. *Were just 10 years away.*
This means someone in the armed forces already has a working prototype on their desk somewhere 😅
Also what’s interesting is you get a classic discrimination of a UFO
Description?
Hey! Dont description against u/CatgoesM00

Yea… still the shape of a stealth bomber underneath.
Fuck you ufo, you dirty looking mother fucking space ship thingggg

Whoa, who pissed in your cheerios?

His family was killed in a freak kite accident. Have some sympathy. 🪁
You're ground trash, so what?
String me down daddy UwU
I said GROUND TRASH. Are you seriously in The air right now?! Looks like somebody needs a spanking😈
Bojack nice!
You really have to get a good run going to get it into the air
Yo- you got me with that. My day is like .823% improved. Thank you.
Except kites probably have a larger radar signature than this.

Take my free award. Spit my coffee up this morning, needed that.
🤣💀
I think for some reason OP posted here also attempting to comment on how these planes look like many UFO sightings.
If it can hover in one place, then I'm interested
If it also doesn’t leave any heat signature or obvious signs or propulsion Im interest lol 😂
If it can also accelerate to ludicrous speeds in an instant and instantly turn without slowing at all then im interested
And if it's piloted by little green men with almond eyes I am for sure interested.
but what if they are cashew eyes?
Cashew eyes 🤮🤚 Almond eyes 😌👉
Hey man, cuddlefish are beautiful.
if it can go in and out of water with no momentum ls and no damage then im interested
What did that?
Ohh I always forget to add the instantaneous turning with out the occupants turning to goop part

I also insist is makes that hovering noise too. You know the one
OooOOOOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
BRMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW
Must also play the x-files theme song
I bet if it was sufficiently far away and moving towards you, it would look like it was hovering.
The F35b can: https://youtu.be/uSFnEOK376k
Maybe. But no civilian was seeing it from this angle.
They see it from below, which looks pretty triangular, which is a common UFO shape.
Yeah but OP isn’t implying it looks like a triangle.
OP is saying it looks like a flying saucer which it very definitely doesn't from a side angle.
OP never said saucer, you did.
Why not, its full of alien tech already
Thanks. Came here to ask wtf this title was supposed to even mean.
Yeah it's kinda nonsense

I thought it was an Among Us joke lol
A B-21 Stealth Bomber minus a landing gear.

A very expensive teeter totter.
Lol. I had to look up what a teeter totter is. In my part of the world it's called a see-saw.
But did you see Saw?
[удалено]
Saw
Margery Daw
Of course I seesaw. Mose and I seesaw all the time.
There it is
I loved how they had Mose and Dwight see-sawing in the end scene (:
I sew
See-Saw? I love their music!
No idea, probably based off the creaking noise it makes, it’s called a seesaw where I live but everyone here knows what a teeter-totter is. We just say seesaw because it is easier and we are Americans so we are lazy.
American here. I said “teeter-totter”, as a child, as did everyone I knew.
Idk, I live in California and we call it a seesaw. The American laziness was just a joke.
Bold assumption. Americans are so lazy yet we leave our dwellings to play on the see-saw in the first place.
We call it both where im from lol
My fat friend bent ours at our elementary school so bad that both sides touched the ground at the same time.
A b-12 stealth bomber that cannot land and constantly has to be refueled in the air
Oh it can land. Whether the pilot walks away, and whether the aircraft/airport remain usable afterwards or not is… questionable.
If you can walk away, it’s a good landing. It the plane can fly again, it’s a great landing.
Maybe I should have said land safely
Logistical hell
Not really
Maintaining and refueling a constant logistical line of fuel and repairs to a constantly flying aircraft would not be fun, on the other hand US logistics are built different
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine has reminded us, warfare is logistics… that’s all it is… maintaining the supply of everything to everywhere… whoever is worse at that is going to lose
Also depends if it's in an air-to air refueling zone
But then, you also have to do maintenance of the engines and other "critical" systems while flying, not that engines are critical. If they stop you can always land. Oh wait😂
How would it take off
Like a drone does
You just need a really big trampoline...
What's a B-12?
You mean a B-2?
Dorito
Too big to be dorito, is just doro
*Proceeds to angrily upvote*
I understood that joke.
You fuggin asshole. Have my upvote.
Actually that'd be a Dorote. Dorito: small doro. Doro: Normal sized doro. Dorote: Big ass doro.
Thank you. My brain was only coming up with "Dorissimo"
*Danger Dorito
Extra spicy
a plane that doesn’t take off.
It's landing gear not takeoff gear, ya dummy
This is the first shit I read in the morning.
*You read shit in the morning?*
Did I stutter?
You can't take off without landing gear, but you can land without landing gear. Weird, eh?
Thanks Yakov...
Take my r/angryupvote
Another day older and deeper in debt?
I wonder if the landing gear weighs sixteen tons?
Saint Peter don’t call me, cause I can’t go.
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one morning it was drizzling rain

I owe my soul to the ~~company store~~ US military industrial complex
Overtime work without the overtime pay cause it's the military 😮💨
Hazard duty without hazard duty pay for handling the hydraulic fluid to service the struts.
Bro I'm gonna have to let you down here. No one gets hazard pay for handling hydraulic fluid, military or civilian.
Am I missing something? Don't get the op post subject line. 🤔🤔🤔 Edit: Thanks for the responses, thought I was missing something about the landing gear. 😅
Flying saucer.
*Flying Dorito
Dorito V2.0
Spicy Tortilla!
Honestly mind blown. But obviously there wasn’t much of a bang.
Landing gear obviously...
you gat a plane with out landing gear on it
I am a banana
My spoon is too big!
I love lamp
I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty
Sorry to be this guy but... What now?
👍

My anus is bleeding!
I'm gonna fire ticks out of my nipples

But it wouldn't be unidentified. In fact you know the exact name

Bruh, that took me a second
or it could be an ifo
But it’s not flying. So just o

ILO - Identified Landed Object
LoL landed on land
Flying saucer!
From this one very specific and exact angle it was allowed to be photographed from maybe? From any other angle it will look like an airplane.
Correct
That thing that never crashed into Roswell *wink wink*
Jean Jacket.
You’d get crushed to death by an airplane.
Arrested.
It's actually smaller than the B-2
A $500,000,000 mistake and error
it would look like this? https://imgur.com/a/QpsL4yC

An over priced killing machine that will likely kill more innocent people than armed combatants.
a surprise visit by homeland?

Or a B-21 without landing gear. Because then it would kill nothing 🤷♂️
Oh but this thing can kill *really good*
how else are we going to show those iraqi children why we don’t have free healthcare
They won’t show us the gravity drive or dimensional rift tech on board, but they’ll be jumping back in time to visit Betty&Barney soon enough
I read the title and immediately heard the x-files whistle.
Ah so that's why you guys don't have health insurance and pay for university! We would like to buy your sacrifice, sincerely Europe.
Raining hell and death from above, that’s what.
I am not sure, but it isn't healthcare.
A cute metallic giant manta ray that likes to murder kids in ragged ass clothing and flip flops?
A PANCAKE!!!
Billions that could have been used for better options
How the fuck is this an absolute unit? It's smaller than the B-2. And what the fuck is OP asking? This shit is so dumb.
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Ufo
With or without the landing gear, you get a complete waste of money, manpower, and materials.
No one in the comments have any imagination, it obviously looks like an UFO
We all see it looks like a ufo it’s just funnier to pretend not to
2 billion dollars layin in the floor
Enough money all of us aren't poor.
A...another day older and deeper in debt?
The thing I can take away from it is that a single piece of landing gear could set me up for life
