Could this be the next secret stealth aircraft? Video of what possibly looks like an advanced stealthy flying body has been circulating on social media platforms today.
The video (possibly taken by a construction worker) has black-project sleuth tongues wagging as it looks very much like artist rendering of the NGAD concept.
The video was discovered on TikTok by OSINT researcher Ruben Hofs and you can see it HERE. |

NGAD CONCEPT The Air Force’s secretive Next-Generation Air Dominance program is progressing according to plan, a top acquisition official said Sept. 21. The NGAD program is expected to yield a family of systems — to potentially include a sixth-generation fighter jet and drones — that would give the U.S. military an edge against advanced adversaries. During the Air Force Association’s Air-Space-Cyber conference in 2020, then-Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, Will Roper made headlines when he revealed that the service had already started flying a full-scale flight demonstrator for the effort. However, the service has remained tight-lipped about the project. “NGAD is not one [of the Air Force’s programs] where I'm able to share a lot of details,” Lt. Gen. Duke Richardson, military deputy in the office of the assistant secretary of the Air Force for AT&L, said during a meeting with reporters at this year’s Air-Space-Cyber confab in National Harbor, Maryland. “I will just tell you that it is progressing per plan. … There’s just so much of it that’s not able to be discussed in an open forum.” Richardson declined to discuss recent test flights, identify the contractors involved in the project, or say when the service plans to begin fielding NGAD platforms. |

Almost certainly a "pole cap" that is placed on top of the aircraft stand in a RCS (radar cross section) site to minimize extraneous reflections.
