Probably used in "stealth detection testing" or as aggressors/stealth "enemy" in war games or Top Gun training..(etc, etc).........The article seems to indicate thus far only 2 have been sighted.....I'm a bit surprised why such an article fanning alarm that a couple of "retired" F-117's were being further used...

It is not unusual to take aircraft out of "mothballs" and use in testing, etc......Remember these are aircraft that have reached their operational lifespan but not their airframe lifespan.....
