Kinda looks like the old McD-D A-12 Flying Dorito (http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/New-Photo-Of-Mystery-Plane-Emerges221884-1.html) (*ahem* Avenger...)

Been following this through a number of news groups. The day after the latest sighting a bloke phoned up Whitman and asked 'any B-2's flying around here.' and was told 'nope. none flying.'
The day after that the same area was hosting a B-2 airshow. B-2's going out of their way to be highly visible in the same area. Then the official AF comment on the mystery aircraft....'Oh, yah. Those were B-2's. That's it, move along , nothing to see here...'

Hmmm.

One more datum. After the A-12 engineering mock up was restored by the museum that GD donated the mockup to, GD showed up and said 'we need this again', loaded it up, and drove it off. Nothing more said, the mock up has not reappeared. 2006-ish? I think it was spotted briefly out side Ft Worth plant shortly.
There are reports the mockup is going back to the carswell museum now.

Hmmm.
