#2 Either for radar cross section or aerodynamics testing. It might be a model of a concept plane, but a far-fetched one if they let it be seen.

Or it was intentionally shown to mislead the Russians and Chinese.

#5 I saw the pic, it was a side view that didn't seem to have any useful details. I imagine the overhead view from satellites would have been more interesting. Which brings up the question: why move it during the daytime?

#7 It's a radar aspect test rig. If you look at the size relative to the truck and trailer, it's not even as big as a Cessna

#10 It's more likely the aliens stories were triggered by the phrase "flying saucer" in the headline.
