My guess is that if we were actually pursuing such a program, we would first hear about it when those craft devastated an opponent in a war, or was accidentally shot down.
This is most likely pure indirection, IMO. They want the Chinese or Russia to think we are doing this for some reason. Maybe they want them to go down their own wild goose chase or they want them to think something of ours that they have seen recently is a result of this and not some more easily duplicable technology.
- sesteel 7y agoI tend to agree, but if the sightings are real and the activity is increasing. The US might want to inform the opponent that we know who is violating our airspace, we know it isn't alien technology, and we know how they are doing it.
- pb82 7y agoWouldn't you rather not give the opponent any information including the information that you know what they are doing?
- sslayer 7y agoIf your "opponents" are a threat you wouldn't reveal any information other than what you want them to know. If they are a non-threat, it might be like warning a child about crossing a road.
