Lockheed Martin unveils stealth unmanned combat drone, sparking UFO reverse-engineer claims

Lockheed Martin introduced the Vectis, a new unmanned combat drone, during a major Air Force conference in Washington, DC, showing a full-scale model and video. The aircraft features a tailless, flying-wing design with a concealed top intake, promising reduced radar signature and higher payload capacity, and is slated for five units by 2027 to support US and allied forces in air combat, strike, and surveillance roles. The reveal was accompanied by a cryptic social-media post from the company’s Skunk Works unit, which ignited speculation that the drone incorporates technology reverse-engineered from crashed UFOs.

Former Lockheed engineer Boyd Bushman, who died in 2014, had previously claimed to have worked with extraterrestrials and presented alleged alien photographs, though his assertions remain unverified. The Pentagon and White House continue to assert that no tangible UFO evidence exists, while Lockheed’s spokesperson referred questions about UAPs to the government. Critics and conspiracy theorists persisted in demanding disclosure of “alien reproduction vehicles,” despite the company’s focus on the Vectis’s operational capabilities.
