No Real Mystery, The Aviationist, a site covering defense, aviation, and military news, has spent years following strange planes flying over U.S. restricted airspace. A thermal photograph, which may show a next-generation stealth fighter plane near Area 51 with cranked-kite wings and canards, was recently highlighted in its most recent report.
Many theories are circulating on X about what exactly Project Fear captured on thermal imagery, including speculation that it could be tied to the U.S. Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program and the F-47 sixth-generation aircraft.
At the start of his second term, President Trump announced that the F-47 program would move ahead, with Boeing awarded a contract worth more than $20 billion.
Psyop? Certainly, someone wants to generate mystique around NGAD/F-47, reminding adversaries that U.S. black programs remain active.
