Some lucky observers in the Phillippines this week managed to catch a glimpse of a mysterious, enigmatic unidentified aircraft zipping through the sky:

The Philippines sits between the South China Sea and the Philippine Sea, two contentious and highly surveilled bodies of water that regularly see large amounts of military activity, especially Chinese and American. All types of military aircraft constantly frequent the skies above both seas, from bombers to drones, but on September 2nd, at around 6:15 AM local time, landscape photographer Michael Fugnit captured something very unique in his lens—what appears to be a stealthy flying wing aircraft with a diamond-shaped fuselage and slender wings, a centralized exhaust, potentially featuring twin engines, and a ventral fuselage bulge.

Oh man, a ventral fuselage bulge! Okay, I don't really know what that is, but the takeaway here is that what looks to be a highly specialized mystery aircraft was apparently doing sweeps over the Philippines, one that was "unlike any normal commercial or military aircraft that usually criss-cross the skies over the region on a daily basis."

What's more, the aircraft in question bears a striking similarity to one seen in California late last year:

Whatever that thing is, it is sick looking ... and I hope it's on our side.
