Hi

I have just read the latest edition of aircraft illistrated.
The feature article is about the webmaster of desertsecrets.com,
steve Hauser. In september of 1999 they hiked Tikaboo peak and after waking
at 5:30 in the morning, and tape recorded the following message heard
on there scanner about 6:00 am, on the groom tower frequency.

controller-''........traffic departing of runway 32 is a fastmover
wind calm, clear for take-off''. Steve grabbed his binoculars and
observed an aircraft departing from the runway 32.

He descripes this as :

streamlined
smoothed out appearance
massive upper body
no shining parts visible
aircraft color deep black
cockpit integrated into body
2 very high massive fins similar to that of the F22
no under-caraige visible
so signs of engine mountings
no signs or engine integration into body
no engine out / inlets visible
estimated length : 100 ft
hieght : 12 ft
width : 55 ft
wing sweep back - 75 degrees

This is all very brief

Thanks for your attention
