From SkyNet to Sky One

There are all sorts of interesting things tied up in the U.S. military’s UCAV program, some of which I’ve previously mentioned (Link 1, Link 2), but this time I’m posting it for the “Wow, that thing reminds me of that old science fiction series UFO” {Edit – whoops. That should be “UFO” and not “Space: 1999”}. Maybe not the image above, but check this one over on New Scientist (Link) and compare it to the “Sky One” aircraft from the television show (Link).

Okay, maybe they don’t look quite the same but that’s because I couldn’t find a clip of the Sky One breaking the ocean’s surface. Oh well, at least they’re both underwater aircraft. Anyway, you can read and see more over on Popular Science (Link).
