Aeroflex was working on one that appeared to have stabilization, etc., but it who knows when it will be out.

pfff, I take this one any day of the week, thank you very much:
I KNOW this is NOT a UFO. This is another source for video documentation - on display at the U. S. Air Force Museum, in Dayton Ohio.
Apparently real I say.
