Stealth aircraft used in US strikes fit for aliens from outer space
Watch America’s state-of-the-art B-2 bombers taxi for take off and land back at Whiteman Air Force Base in the US, reportedly during Operation Midnight Hammer – could they pass as UFOs?
READING LEVEL: GREEN
Officials confirmed that at least seven US Air Force B-2 Spirit stealth aircraft departed from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, USA, as part of Operation Midnight Hammer, which took place between June 20 and 22.
Footage shows the hi-tech strategic bombers, including the Spirit of Indiana, Spirit of Nebraska, and Spirit of Louisiana, taking off for the high-risk mission.
The 37-hour operation involved over 125 aircraft and required multiple midair refuellings before the strike fleet safely returned back to base.
