Further to everything that's been said, it's recently been suggested that the craft at Calvine was the same as one seen over Belgium in the "flap" that occurred from roughly 1989 to 1991. Calvine was August 1990.

Here's a couple of example reports:

The suggestion is that the craft was an unmanned surveillance platform (high speed, stealthy, prolonged ability to linger over a target) which was designed to map targets using "lasers" or something similar. It was being secretly tested both over Scotland and Belgium in preparation for going into hostile territory.

Please note: I am emphatically not saying any of this is accurate. All the above has been suggested by a former military source, so I am just soliciting opinions from those who have more professional insight into these sorts of things.

As but one point, the Belgian vehicle(s) allegedly shone beams of red light at a lake, a building, and the ground, but would visible red light even be used in aerial mapping scans by craft trying to avoid detection? We are doubtful, as you might be able to tell, but I wanted to offer it up as it's something we've been told.

Thank you.
Look at the 'Whale' or Tacit Blue

It was meant to (if the balloon went up) and the hordes of WarPac arnor went over the Three Ladies (any USAREUR folk on here will know what i am on about perfect rolling tank country) then several of these low observable stealthy battlefield radar platforms would fly over, loiter behind enemy lines to act as targeting for the likes of LGB and artillery.. By the time it was finalised testing or what not then cold war comign to an end. J-Stars ended up with that role for which experimental first airframes served combat for first time during Desert Storm.

cheers
