NASA HiMAT - thanks nnenn!
OK. So I'm watching UFO Hunters on the DVR (the only way to watch TV; no commercials FTW!), and they have this rapid montage of aircraft: SR-71, something that looks like a Kfir, an F-117, an old E-3, this thing above, an F-15, and an F-106.
It's only onscreen for a few seconds, during which it is rolling to port. At the very end another wingtip comes into view, which made me think that it's an X-plane. Turns out it was the moon. But I couldn't find one that matches.
I also thought it looked an awful lot like the MiG 1.44 (and a few other canard aircraft.
But nothing seems to match. It looks like something Burt Rutan would design, if he build jet-powered fighter aircraft.
I really want to know what this is, because I just have never seen it before. Or if I have, not from this angle.
Also, it would make a cool MOC.
EDIT: Oh hey, I found the video of it on the intertubes. On this page you can see it in the third video, at around 3:18-3:21.
EDIT: I replaced the sketch with a screen cap of the stupid thing.
