Enigmatic? Is that really the right word for an expensive, stealthy killing machine?

“mysterious and impossible to understand completely”
In this context: “We really don’t know jack about it, but it looks cool.”

I swear, it just showed up at the skunk works one day. We don’t have any idea where it came from…

Oh, I thought they meant more in the dating sense.

There have been attempts at “flying saucer” aircraft like the Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar, but this doesn’t “look like a UFO” unless you’ve never seen any stealth aircraft. This is a stealth drone and looks exactly like what one would it expect it to. The VZ-9 on the other hand could certainly be mistaken for the pop-culture idea of a “UFO”.

Electro-propulsion? Tell me more!
So much for the whole ‘batteries are never going to be useful in aviation!’ thing.
