Nothing new, but I just wanted to leave it here, have a good day.
YF-113G: prototype classify pilot in the period 1993/1996, the place of the first flight is Groom Lake NV, the date of the first flight is unknown.

X-273 : maybe a NGAD demonstrator ? there is too little information about this designation, but the pilot of this aircraft is colonel Javorsek.
YF-220: perhaps an NGAD demonstrator? There is too little information on this designation, but the pilot of this aircraft is Colonel Javorsek.
Call sign "Romeo": surrogate aircraft testing an avionics system for the B-21 raider, flight location is Groom Lake NV, flight date is July 30, 2019 at night.
Rq-180: Theoretical designation given to a UAV (surveillance drone) that is classified, this UAV was created by Northrop Grumman, it made its first flight and was tested most likely Groom Lake NV in 2010, this UAV is operational since 2015 and today it seems to be based south of Edwards Air Force Base and at Beale Air Force Base, the project of this drone began in 2008, the drone is a flying wing, with very large wings, with a pointed tail and it is white in color, it was first mentioned by aviation weeks in 2013 after an investigation that lasted several months.
In February 1994, Chuck Clark filmed a black project coming out of a hangar and taking off from the Groom Lake airstrip at 2:30 in the morning from white sides, he described that the plane had the shape of a pointed delta and was black. Maybe this aircraft has a link with the black project "FASTMOVER" spotted in 1999?
I wonder how many aircraft are still in the shadows.
