Actually, as a firsthand observation, when it flys by below you, as it approaches, it sounds like it's going away.
When the Air Farce does Red Flag exercises, they use a T-38 chase plane flying above and behind it, because the exercise controllers in the AWACS can't see the B-2s.
Reverse doppler effect? How's that work? I always thought that the whole point of Luneberg lens reflectors was to make stealth aircraft visible to radar, being much cheaper than a chase plane.

DeleteLunebergs are there when there when there aren't any chase planes, Don;t really want any snooper foreign radars to get a peke!
DeleteA peek at reflectors? Reflectors aren't secret and betray nothing about the plane's stealth characteristics. They completely overwhelm it.
