Question by Tom Z: Are there any experimental planes utilizing ion thrusters?
I was watching a “documentary” about the “UFO” sightings over Phoenix on Mar 13, 1997 and I was wondering if the lights could be cause by advanced ion thrusters (which are real as you and me) on an experimental aircraft. Is there any known X-planes using ion propulsion or leaks about black budget programs making a ion engine-powered plane?

Ions have very little mass so they offer very little thrust. But the trust is continuous and so it works best in a vacuum.
