It seems that Boeing has solved the problem, or Martin-Marietta. There is a rumour mind you going around about the Nautilus... a large triangular shaped craft that moves rather slowly and noisely. An awful lot of people in Seattle have seen it a few times. The best description I've heard of was it was flat black, had a large bubble turret underneath that was lit up and corner marker lights. This was even reported twice in our local papers up here, but for intents and purposes a big mystery. I find it interesting to look into, but as always I never get to see any of these things.
