I guess you can't talk about the alien technology in them?

I did some work at Whiteman in the hangars for these aircraft. A couple things 
of note that I recall (and can discuss):

Many of the perimeter guards at this base were women. Not sure if this was 
intentional or a coincidence.

Gobbler's Knob or whatever it was had the only restaurant nearby.

Got to enter the cockpit and sit in the pilot's seat. No photos, unfortunately. 
Amazingly, a WalMart folding beach chair in the aft compartment for crew 
members to snooze in.

Hangars were like a surgical suite. First time I was there you had to wear a 
bunny suit to enter. Later visits did not.

Amazing aircraft. They looked fast just sitting in the hangar.

I went to High School about 20mi from these special hangers in Whiteman 
AFB that house the Stealths.  When practicing for baseball or running 
for cross country, we would see (not hear) flyovers all the time.  If 
you watched during a turn, it would turn from normal shape into a pencil 
line in the sky, and back into normal shape.  When it was flying 
directly at you or away from you, it was merely a pencil line in the 
sky.  Way cool visual stealth features.
