I have seen this shaped thing before, on tv discovery a program about UFOs. So the thing was a exsperimental bomber that exsplains why the case was dyssed down in the start and later people began to investigate it. Wonder what other secret weapons that exsists? Are there any records of nations with laser, plasma or hypersonic weapons or is it still sci fi?
