Allegedly taken using an Infiray 10 micron thermal scope by some random Youtuber. Some have questioned the authenticity of it, ie no exhaust, but if it is real, that would be very interesting. Some also pointed out similarity to some sort of NGAD or F-47 program, ie canards. Thoughts? Is this a real pic?

Edit: Seems more credible, since Uncanny Expeditions has confirmed it https://x.com/uncannyex/status/2062242584685412535

ETA: to clarity our Lazar rule - if you want to post some new info, great. If you can somehow prove a claim that Lazar has made, the majority of which have been thoroughly debunked, fine. If your post is just a rehash of the same old crap, expect it to be deleted.
Please visit the following websites and educate yourself before you post anything here regarding Bob Lazar. IMHO Lazar invented his entire tale, in order to try and show up/show off to John Lear and others. Lazar has substantially benefited financially over the years from his stories, beginning with "The Lazar Tape" that he was selling for $29.99 back in the 90's ($43 in 2025), up to and including Jeremy Cowbells "documentary" on Netflix, and the newer Project Gravitard one . And the grift continues with new upcoming "documentaries".

The facts at the above links pretty well debunk anything Lazar has ever claimed. More will be added if I think they are significant. FYI - there are individuals who peruse this subreddit that know far more that Lazar could ever HOPE to know. People with actual credentials.

It’s a Company aircraft but they didn’t land/tookoff in the NTTR.
Edit: it didn’t pass through NTTR, a comment stated out it was an error of ADSB.

I don't recall it being mentioned that the FA-XX has the capability of a Growler at the same time as a fighter aircraft.
Looking back at the contract announcement, the simultaneous feature was not made clear.
"Following this contact award announcement, Boeing will deliver the platform to augment and eventually replace legacy F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and EA-18G Growlers beginning in the 2030s, and operate alongside the F-35C."

I know this has been talked before, but it appeared when I was browsing through to find some aircraft’s in NTTR, but this appeared near Tonopah. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adfa87

The signal was lost at 14.6KM while it was traveling at 55 miles per hour.

Same speed and altitude, i thought he was going back for someone but just keeps circling the base. Unusual for a 737, more common with the Beechcraft fleet.
Pure speculaton but I think something is flying with it.

Don't get me wrong. I like the guy and I love his channel. Some of the most fascinating content we've seen about this subject in years.
However, I've grown suspicious about it. He always seems to have the perfect solution at the perfect moment to get the perfect shot or piece of information he is seeking. He is obviously very skilled at what he does. Almost too skilled. What he does single-handedly could rival any special operations reconnaissance unit. The average person simply could not do what he does so successfully without extensive training and experience doing it.
Secondly, he is quite literally spying on top secret military installations. If this was any other person of a different nationality doing what he does, it would be considered spying and would be dealt with accordingly. Yet, this guy is able to roam freely around these highly classified sites without any interference from the government to stop him. Not to mention the fact that any foreign government can simply watch his channel and see this stuff now.
And lastly, nothing gets popular on the internet by accident. And for his channel to get so popular within the last couple of years kind of makes me wonder. In my view, it's almost as if this is intentional so that it could seem like this is the extent of any secretive projects being investigated, when in reality they are doing things somewhere else that they don't want anybody poking around looking at. And Uncanny Expeditions is more of a redirection so that people don't attempt doing that.
Anybody have any thoughts? This isn't meant to criticize him or bring allegations his way.

A two hour flight with ground speed exceeding 400kts on curved routes. I took a look at github for a kml to G force program with no luck.

Same aircraft but except it had a call sign. (In the nighttime)

A little night tanking. The Omega tanker usually tanks Navy aircraft. This one left March AFB, not Southern California Logistics.
