I've thought long and hard about posting this, but its vague enough so have at it.

There is an airframe, right now in service with special operations troops that's been out there for nearly 25 years and nae a peep has been even sniffed at (unless you count UFO reports of a 'thing' racing across the sea at low level as a verifiable source)

I'll start you off with 'Wing In Ground effect...'

And yes its onto MK VI now. And it's a weird little thing but goes like stink. Funny enough, Chinese Navy is scrambling to attain the same capability. Started their research in 2014.

And yes it's a sea plane.

And yes Iran tried to build their own because it has been a thorn in their side for decades and they recognised the potential of it. And yes they failed. And no they never captured one.
