This from another site, and is similar in appearance to an aircraft spotted by Joerg and a film crew on Tikaboo a couple years ago... Northrop Grumman YF-113G
There have been sightings of an aircraft with a trailing edge comprised of many triangular "teeth" in the South-Western USA during 1993 and 1994. It has been suggested that the unusual shape of the trailing edge might help in reducing engine sound and heat emissions. The two-seat plane is 20 to 50 percent larger than the F-117 and can carry a larger payload. The aircraft is thought to be a stealthy, more capable replacement for the F-111 strike aircraft. The aircraft may be designated YF-113G and have made its first flight between May 1994 and July 1996. Possible operational bases include Tonopah AFB in Nevada, Cannon AFB in New Mexico, and Langley AFB in Virginia.
