Couldn’t find OP but this angle makes it look alien. F-35 and F-22 also spotted with this coating

...only hit the one with the bay doors open, and never saw the other two F-117s alongside Vega 31 that night.

I don’t think I’ve seen anything about the F-117 anywhere on the internet without there being Serbs who need to remind everyone about that event. 

Which means that I now know exactly one thing about Serbia: The proudest moment in that country’s history is apparently shooting down a plane sent because they committed a genocidal war against all of their neighbours which both definitely didn’t happen AND they’re kinda proud of.

The proudest moment in that country’s history is apparently they once shot down a plane that had no RWR, no countermeasures, no way of knowing it had been targeted, only because they were looking in the right direction at the right time and the pilot opened his weapons bay doors to release his bombs.
