The egg is laid by a C-130 transport.

huh.  I mean, they could be hot pink with flames on the side, it wouldn’t really matter.  Nobody seems them, nobody is after them and they would be just as effective

USAF Reapers are a bit more gray.

The color actually serves purpose.  They are small enough and fly high enough that the color lets them effectively blend in with the sky.

They have a larger wingspan than the A-10, though they are about 20 feet shorter and weigh much less. These things are way bigger than you think they are.

I know exactly how big they are. I see them every day at work.

They’re really not that big , and they’re low profile.

Eww, this reminds me of a cockroach laying eggs. If you’ve had roaches, it’s definitely a site you do not want.

Whistles inconspicuously as I quickly throw my cell phone out of the window of my car and steal a new car from the bottom level of a parking deck so you can’t track me anymore while nervously looking over my shoulder at the sky.
