I just said it was a weapons platform that you would not want looking for

I see them here in the UK often. They fly below my house, which is on
a low hill. Definately spooky. You hear them about five seconds
before you see them. As they are in camaflage and below me, it takes
a few seconds to spot them as they go by.
Occasionally they pass over my house at less then fifty feet I would
say.
I dunno whether they have terrain following radar. If not, I hope the
pilot never blinks.
