It’s Not a UFO, Just a Killer Drone for an Aircraft Carrier

"Note to the Navy: When trucking a giant flying robot with a rounded fuselage
across the country, people are going to think they’re looking at an artifact from
Area 51.

As the local news coverage above shows, residents of Cowley County, Kansas,
were freaked out to see a truck rumbling down U.S. 77 towing what looks a
whole lot like a 32-foot spaceship. “People were calling in saying, ‘Oh they think
they found a flying saucer,’” Donetta Godsey of the Winfield Daily Courier told the
ABC News affiliate.

Alas, the cargo wasn’t anything otherworldly. Just a trussed-up, wingless version
of the Navy’s futuristic killer drone, the X-47B, which the Navy hopes will one day
be the world’s first robot capable of landing on an aircraft carrier."
