An OPSEC violation has once again made a case for why using TikTok should be a punishable offense in the military, this time after someone revealed some US stealth technology testing going on and posted it to the Chinese government-affiliated platform.

The stealthy object -possibly a component of a new drone or plane- was filmed on a tractor-trailer platform at Helendale Radar Cross Section Facility.

After making their debut on a social media platform tied to America’s top adversary, images of the object quickly made their way to the internet, gracing everything from 4chan to Reddit.

It is unknown what project the object is tied to, though speculation has ranged from a new Boeing product to even the famed “TicTac” UFO sighted by Naval Aviators in recent years.

Steve Trimble of Aviation Week took to Twitter, discussing his exchange with Air Force brass over the matter.

“I showed this to Gen Mark Kelly, Air Combat Command chief. His immediate reply was that he had no idea what it was,” he wrote. “And then he took my laptop and stared at it for about 20 seconds. His expression was (WARNING: my impression) somewhere between confused and impressed.”
