Don't forget bugs. Gotta leave some love for the Eagle and its juvenile delinquent cousin, the Hawk, from Space:1999.

I love how it's supposedly "secretive" and "hush-hush" - and then there's a whole friggin' article about it, with diagrams and press statements and everything. The internet age really has redefined the meaning of "secret".
DSL:
Makes you wonder, though, how long it's been around, what "failures" have in reality been camouflage for clandestine successes. And though it makes me sound like a tinfoil-hatter for saying it, I wonder if the "exposure" of this "secret" is meant to distract us from the truly amazing stuff. I'm reminded of the Air Force general who, when asked if the U.S. was developing secret advanced tech out in the desert, said, "I sure hope so."

Yeah, if you go to the USAF Museum,, there are a couple sections of display that makes you think of a bunch of aircraft designers looking up at the sky and saying, "Welp ..." or maybe "Hey you guys, watch THIS."
