An aviation watcher with close ties to Edwards AFB reported this to me
around Mar. 10.  He is trying to follow up.

Several workers at the B-2 test facility at Edwards South Base reported
seeing an unusual aircraft one recent evening.  In the dark, it was difficult
to accurately determine the size and altitude.  The witnesses estimated it to
have been large "like a B-52" and flying "at about 300 or 400 feet abouve the
ground."  It passed over the munitions storage area south of South Base, and
was flying extremely slow.  One witness said he "thought an ordinary aircraft
would stall at that speed."  Another said it was so slow, he thought it was
hovering.  All agreed that it had the standard red and green lights on the
wingtips, and that it produced no sound.
