Mysterious Object in Illinois Identified


There was a lot of speculation and curiosity surrounding the mysterious UFO-looking object on a semi trailer that was at a rest stop North of Tuscola on I-57 in Illinois this weekend.

It turns out it was a X-47B tailless strike fighter-sized unmanned aircraft.

One of only two in existence. The X-47B is designed to be the first unmanned plane to take off and land on the deck of an aircraft carrier. It is currently on its way to Maryland for more tests.
