Infrared/Thermal Comparison: B-2 Stealth vs. F-35 (Investigation)
I’ve been researching the infrared and thermal imaging capabilities of both the B-2 Stealth Bomber and the F-35. One intriguing aspect I’ve come across involves the numerous UFO/UAP sightings that report “no visible propulsion” or the absence of a fireball at the rear. The B-2 has been in operation for quite some time now. When observing its infrared signature, do you notice any signs of propulsion? Personally, I suspect that most of these sightings might actually be attributed to our own advanced aircraft or those from private companies.
It’s an interesting topic you’ve brought up regarding the thermal and infrared signatures of the B-2 and F-35. Both aircraft are designed with stealth capabilities, which significantly reduce their infrared signatures, making it challenging to detect them using conventional thermal imaging.
The B-2 Spirit, as a strategic stealth bomber, utilizes advanced materials and design features to minimize radar cross-section and thermal emissions. Its propulsion system is placed in such a way that it can reduce heat signatures when compared to traditional aircraft. However, it still produces a significant amount of heat that would be detectable under certain conditions.
The F-35, on the other hand, features even more advanced technology and is designed for multi-role capabilities, which include advanced sensors and stealth features. The F-35’s engine has a unique design that helps to reduce its infrared signature, but it too generates heat that could be visible, especially during takeoff or combat operations.
The “no visible propulsion” aspect often mentioned in UFO/UAP sightings could stem from a combination of factors—such as the angle of observation, distance, and environmental conditions—making it difficult to discern the heat signature from less conventional aircraft.
While it is possible that some UAP sightings could be attributed to classified or experimental technology from our own military or private defense contractors, it’s important to approach such claims with skepticism. Rigorous analysis is essential in determining the nature of these sightings.
Ultimately, ongoing investigation and advancements in detection technology will likely continue to shed light on both classified military aircraft and unidentified aerial phenomena.
