It flew fast like a jet, made a whirling sound and left an odd glow.
That's how an amateur photographer described a flying machine he spotted in the skies near Rose Hill on Friday. The UFO world is now paying attention to his photograph.
On Monday, the photo appeared under the headline "Weird Object in Wichita," on UFO Digest, a Canadian Web site.
The object looks like some kind of new-technology fighter jet, possibly a prototype, said UFO Digest editor and publisher Dirk Vander Ploeg.
Jarrod Bartlett, spokesman for Boeing Integrated Defense Systems-Wichita, said in an e-mail that he checked with flight operations staff "and they were not able to identify the aircraft. We do not often get calls regarding unidentified aircraft."

That looks like the space shuttle 747 piggyback.
Maybe they are piggy backing a prototype to a high altitude for a test?

It looks like a jet from either the 1 o-clock angle incoming, or the 5 o-clock angle outgoing, out of focus.

You may not be far off. I remember a drawing that looks similar to the picture from Popular Mechanics a few years back. I’ll see if I can find a link...

Water fowl in flight. Water on his beak and wings reflecting the sun. I agree - it's either a B-1RD or a GU-11.
