Apparently we say the United States' "doomsday plane" overhead early yesterday morning. Granddaughter noticed it and wondered why it was so small and so slow. At 6, I guess they don't have a proper sense of distance.

I had to look that up. We don't talk about it in USA as far as I know. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_plane

How the hell did that typo creep in? Y is nowhere near W! Anyway, yeah. I'd never heard of such things either but it seems that the US isn't the only country with one. We're under some Atlantic flight paths but this didn't seem to be following the standard airline paths. Normally, when you see one, you just have to look behind it and you'll see another. This one was on its own and appeared to be at a little lower altitude than the airliners. Could make the shape out quite easily.
