X-47B Drone Mistaken for a UFO in Kansas

An X-37B drone jet assembled by Northrop Grumman has been mistaken for a UFO by sky watchers.

Upon hearing the revelation, Brooks McKinney, senior manager of Northrop Grumman public relations department, appeared in public to present more information.

He explained that it was the X-47B unmanned combat drone manufactured to function from carriers of aircraft.

It was intended to be transported to the Naval Air Station Patuxent Rive, Maryland.

UMS or Unmanned systems became extremely usual that the Northrop Grumman has designed a special section devoted to drone technology. This you can check out on its official public website, where a specific page was set for X-47B.

"Clearly people are interested in what's going through town. It's unusual to see a shrink-wrapped aircraft, especially one with that shape," said McKinney.

McKinney further explained that the company has already built two of the same crafts for the Navy. Each craft was tested at Edwards Air Force Base in California since March. One is currently heading to Maryland, while the other will have to stay in California.

"It's difficult to fly an unmanned drone through commercial airspace," according to McKinney when asked about the reason why these high-tech crafts weren't flying.

So to end with the question "What's wrong with Kansas?" let's head to the answer: a throbbing absence of alien spaceships.
