AI[edit]
Seems that some people on various forums have suggested that this may have been an AI driven craft. This may make sense as something without a human pilot could certainly make very sharp turns and potentially accelerate but does not explain the more unusual features.
It might have been some experimental aircraft belonging to a foreign government but if so then surely they would have mentioned something. One does not simply "Buzz" a state of the art destroyer and jets for fear of the super secret technology falling into enemy hands. A slim possibility is that some people knew what it was but were sworn to secrecy as it was "One of ours!". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.190.161.223 (talk) 06:50, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
Some sort of test drone for evaluating radar performance would be possible but surely it would be recorded as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.190.161.223 (talk) 22:38, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
