Drivers in Washington DC freaked out by sight of an X-47b being towed on a flatbed truck; think it's a UFO. Washington Post story here, including the amusing Twitter response I quoted in the headline, which came once citizens were informed that it was just a military drone.

That's what they want you to think!
Its going to Pax River for simulated carrier ops.
Maybe it wasn't Northrup moving it? They can get pretty serious about the "Tow-away" no parking without a parking pass type areas in Northern Virginia and DC... *wink*
It's an amazing bird. I saw it in person a few years ago while it was still being constructed. Looks straight out of a sci-fi flick. First flight created a big buzz around the offices at northrop!
I wonder what insurance costs on that rig...
Just a military drone, eh? That's really close for a civilian to get to an experimental UCAV. I'm surprised agents "J" and "K" didn't do a memory wipe with the flashy blinky thing. ;)
Hahahaha, comical.
