Secret Air Force "Black Project" plane caught on video
The video looks real to me, but I'm not an expert.

So do people think this is a real video and if so what might the plane be?

Speculation welcomed!

1. Hard to tell
There's nothing to tell what the size of it is

2. It could easily be a video of a model airplane..
I've seen people fly everything from a lawnmower to the starship Enterprise.

4. But how can it fly in that configuration if it's a model plane and the sound seems legit.

I don't know.

10. Sound is easy to add to a video, Windows Movie Maker is one of the most basic editors..
And it will do it, no problem.

The plane in that video would fly as a model, it's really just a matter of getting the center of gravity at the correct location..

There's an old saying among aircraft designers that you could fly a barn door with enough horsepower, model planes tend to be grossly overpowered compared to the real thing.

6. I had no idea that civilians made RC jet planes even including a 747!

Sounds like a fun hobby.

And a very expensive one!

Too rich for me.

That could be a RC in the video.
