This Mysterious Military Spy Plane Has Been Flying Circles Over Seattle For Days

Authored by Tyler Rogoway and Joseph Trevithick via TheDrive.com,

A very unique USAF surveillance aircraft has been flying highly defined circles over Seattle and its various suburbs for nine days now. Nobody at the DoD seems to know who the aircraft belongs to or what exactly it is doing flying so many missions over the Seattle area. But based on its visibly exotic configuration, and information collected by open source flight tracking websites, we can get a good idea of its capabilities and guess as to what it’s up to.
