Listening to the conversations between air traffic controllers and airline pilots made me believe that something was out there. Area 51?

Did you bother clicking on the link? If not, why post at all?

There is no doubt UFO's are real.

There is NO DOUBT at all they are NOT extraterrestrials. Hopefully it was the replacement for the slow and cumbersome SR-71, you know something really fast.

Nevertheless, some speculate the aircraft was likely to be the top-secret B-21 “Raider” of the US Air Force, a next-generation stealth bomber.

The large white object flying at or faster than the airliners is odd in this respect. White paint on the XB-70 (and British Vulcan) was anti-radiation paint for after a nuclear bombing. The black paint on the SR-71 was to dissipate heat and I suppose not reflect radar as much.

Very few UFO are white, they are typically silver or black from what I recall.

The B1 bomber gave up white paint decades ago in favor of a neutral gray.

Strangest thing in the story is not the airline pilots talking of a disappearance or a visual stealth mode, it's the dang reported color - white.

EDIT:
Note that the B-21 Raider on Northrup- Grumman's website is "BLACK".

http://www.northropgrumman.com/MediaResources/MediaKits/B21/about.aspx

B-21 has a "high-flying requirement"
http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/14919/the-b-21s-three-decade-old-shape-hints-at-new-high-altitude-capabilities

And some DARPA projects are painted white in the testing phase
http://www.aerofatos.com.br/2013/12/where-does-rq-180-fit-in-stealthy-uas.html


What was spotted could have just been the launch plane for a clandestine test?

Nope, it was the unicorns! They were flying in formation and had bigfoot in command.

They were just looking for VooDoo doughnuts...

I would also bet on the XB-70 or whatever secret aircraft we are working on now.

I also don't believe in extra terrestrials, I find this sighting way more interesting:

Sorry tried to find the original articles but only could find the wiki.

The alien theorists are saying it's aliens, but...it's aliens.

I think it's SpaceX trying to put charging stations in orbit so they can start making extra money with the Tesla with LIFT or UBER
