That's a negative Ghost Rider. Everyone knows Squatches can't fit into cockpits. Gnomes however make for dandy jocks. No gas pedals to reach and their large heads help store blood when pulling G's.

A friend's father was high-on-holy at White Sands and other installations back in their heyday. On his deathbed he pretty much said that whatever technology the public sees is 20 - 30 years down rev from what the military actually has. Think about it. An F117 was designed with a slide rule well before the digital age and supercomputing. There's a new report out that the Pentagon has "lost" 21 trillion over the years. UFO's ain't cheap.
