USAF Area 51 Air Force Black Ops Stealth B-2 509th Classified Flight Test Patch

Description: This was the original version of a patch commemorating a flight test series involving a B-2 "Spirit" stealth bomber. The Greek sigma symbol on the test shape's outline signifies the unknown RCS value. The number "509" refers to the 509th Bomb Wing, which operates the United States' stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. The alien is a reference to the 509th's infamous lineage. In 1947, the 509th was based at Roswell, New Mexico, home of the "Roswell incident", which ensued after the 509th's commander, Col. William Blanchard, issued a press release whose headline stated: "Roswell Army Airfield Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region". The dog-latin phrase Gustasus Similis Pullus translates as "Taste Like Chicken". Note the knife and fork. This patch was eventually modified when Air Force officials insisted that the phrase "Classified Flight Test" not appear on the design. In an updated version of the patch, "Classified Flight Test" has been replaced with the words "To Serve Man", referencing a classic episode of The Twilight Zone. Based off the design of the patch it is unclear whether the B-2 is overtaking the Alien or the Alien overtaking the B-2. Possibly it is meant to represent both. This brand new patch is 4" in diameter, made of 100% embroidery and features a plastic backing. This patch comes from the book "I Could Tell You Then You Would Have To Be Destroyed By Me."
