The Navy's recent antigrav patents add another layer of mystery. tl;dr, that the Navy seems to be claiming that they could maybe build something like the Tic-Tac seen in video, and the Chinese are working on capabilities.[1,2]
It seems to me that all this is an elaborate disinformation campaign of some kind, possibly to encourage near-peers from blowing research money on junk or cover some other program like UFOs did for the B-2 or F-117, or the project is either impractical enough or close enough to practical use to justify lifting the veil of secrecy somewhat. It hides in a quantum state of maybe, much like many of the things Ben Rich, former skunkworks director may or may not have said about how advanced their tech was.
