As for Roswell aliens.... no, that would be an insult to the talented scientists and engineers that desighned and built it. 😁

Tell you what though, bet this one's got some fancy tech. They say its many times more stealthy than the previous model. A bit smaller apparently.

You Americans know how to put on a good show, if that was in the UK it would be... "by the way, this is our new plane". And the response would be... "oh, okay then".

Did the B21 technology come from Roswell aliens?  Let's ask the sergeant of the guard for Area 51.  Oh, here he is now...

And there you have it! 😁

 

They say flying next year. Do you believe them lads? or is it already in the air over certain trouble spots? 🤔

If that B21 has been developed from alien tech, then those aliens are nowhere near as advanced as I thought.

Area 51 is the place they test fly them before flying them next year.

BTW...when did they change the sequential numbering of bombers?  Where are the bombers B3 through B20?

Now that the plane has been acknowledged, I’d imagine that they’ll be test flying at Edward’s since it’s a stones throw from Palmdale.

They should just call this one the B-2.1 😂😂

Actually, the F-117 was flying other than area 51 before it was announced to the world. I watched a documentary where the pilot said they would routinely lock their lasers onto the roof of a house. 😁

Its prior to being anounced to the world that they are flown at Area 51.

In fact, the F-117 was flying combat missions for 7 years before it was revealed to the public.

Well, according to Colonel Philip Corso, a member of President Eisenhower’s National Security Council and former head of the Foreign Technology Desk in the US Army, we got a lot of technology from the crashed alien ship in Roswell.  Things like integrated circuits, light-amplification technology, and fiber optics.  He claims that he farmed out parts recovered from the craft to various private companies who then studied them and developed a lot of the tech we use today.

He wrote a book entitled "The Day After Roswell".

Either he's a liar, or he's telling the truth.

We were already working on solid-state semiconductors like transistors in the late 1940s and before the crash, so it is possible that we developed all this stuff on our own.

Only thing that was missing was for it be covered in American cheese and then it would be full American galore.

I suspect that the number should be considered as 2.1. In other words, an update of the B2.

They announced a few years ago that Edwards is where the B-21 will be tested.

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/32522/edwards-afb-upgrades-point-to-unexpected-home-for-b-21-raider-and-other-secretive-programs

I suspect there's more than enough new stuff in these planes to be considered more than a simple B-2 upgrade.

The bottom line is cheap to make and to maintain. So there will be swarms of these instead of just a few.

Perhaps the most talented Roswell alien was Rumpelstiltskin who could spin straw into fiber optic strings.

Rumpelstiltskin is timeless Fielder.  I see him around town from time to time.  Not long ago I saw him at the Cattle Baron munching on some prime rib.  I anomalously paid for his dinner.

Yeah, this "tech came from aliens" thing is nonsense.

All manner of technologies are claimed to come from aliens, and all of them can be traced right back, in stages, one breakthrough leading to another, one technology leading to another, thanks to talented humans. 

None of these technologies "suddenly appeared" thanks to friendly aliens giving us Christmas presents, or strangely incompetent alien technlolgy, that despite being able to do wonderful things like traveling at relativistic velocities, or through time, or comming from another dimension... crash when they get to our atmoshere or succumb to our primitive weapons. 

Of course, after the space craft weirdly crashes, the army turn up and take one look at the aliens space suit and yell, " oh my god, look at that sticky stuff! We will call it Velcro!"
