This is the part I am not clear about. "Switchblade" is not the Bird of Prey plane that was built by Boeing and tested at Area 51. I have seen this plane called "Bird of Prey" on several sites and in several articles, but as far as I know, they are two separate projects.

"On moonless nights a secret aircraft taxies out of a remote hangar complex located on the northeast corner of an Air Force base in Nevada. The security lights on the base are dimmed as the aircraft rolls out onto the active runway. Under cover of darkness the aircraft officially called the "Bird of Prey" (but nicknamed by pilots the "Switchblade") takes off on a training mission into the sprawling Nellis Bombing Range."
