There seem to be at least two different unrevealed aircraft which have been seen several times and/or by (IMHO) reliable sources:
- A "scaled-up F-117" (for lack of a confirmed name ;-) ), as seen by Joerg et.al. in June 2001
- A high-speed aircraft with delta wings. It may be possible, that the various sightings of deltas refer to more than one type, but this is not necessarily so.

Other claims (like "Black Manta", "Aurora", "TR-3A", etc.) are IMHO too spurious and could just as easily refer to one of the two "confirmed" types above.

This would nicely fit the alleged "Bright Star" program, but unfortunately all information about the latter is from a not-too-reliable source ;-).

And, BTW: Thank you, Peter, for sharing some of your "inside" data.

Andreas
