UFO Spotted in Washington DC

According to Fox News, the UFO was actually Northrop Grumman’s X-47B drone. The unmanned aircraft was being transported by flatbed truck around 11 p.m. on Wednesday from West Virginia to the Patuxent Naval Air Station in Maryland It created panic that residents forced to call 9-1-1 to report the unusual sighting. To calm the people from confusion, the military sent out a release about the X-47B. “The X-47B is the first unmanned vehicle designed to take off and land on an aircraft carrier. As part of the program’s demonstration, the X-47B will perform arrested landings and catapult launches at Pax to validate its ability to conduct precision approaches to the carrier. The base is one of only a few sites in the world where the Navy can run performance tests on aircraft-carrier catapult operations at a land-based facility with flight test and engineering support resources not available on a ship.” But that didn’t stop Twitter from spreading UFO rumors last night. An official at Northrop Grumman confirmed that the craft was actually an X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System. They said the drone was being transported from Edwards Air Force Base in California to the Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland for testing.
