What might this be ?

Shot this dumped at Mojave some 10 years ago. What is it? A mock up for something ? BW Roger

Yes, actually I would go along with global hawk but i suppose it could be some sort of exotic prototype for another UAV

With Rutan aeroplanes based at Mojave I was tempted to say one of their weird and wonderful projects but theres nothing in their current “fleet” that resembles this one.Perhaps just one of their mock ups – certainly appears to have sensor pod and bays but also a cockpit bulge suggesting a manned type.

Perhaps worth a post on the modern military forum?

Is it from the Indian sub-continent? Could they flame each other over it?
For no good reason I am more inclined to believe it could be a film prop or a mock up to dress up a foyer or restaurant – that front undercarriage unit looks sort of T33-ish! The sides look too flat to be stealthy…
