DAVIS TOWNSHIP, Mo. (KMOX) - The powerful cameras of Google Maps have captured some funny and weird images over the years, like people in mid-fall or a odd Scientology's base in New Mexico. But this one from Missouri is about as rare as it gets.

A Reddit user, Hippowned, shared the coordinates of a Google Maps image that shows a B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber in mid-flight over Missouri. The coordinates are 39 01 18.5N, 93 35 40.5W.

The rare, and ironic, image sparked some good comments:

"I guess you can say it's not very stealthy," wrote Acid_Taco.

"More like a photo bomber," said RandyGareth.

B-2s are capable of traveling at subsonic speed and at a height of more than 50,000 feet. At least 21 of the aircrafts are stationed at Whiteman Air Force Base near Kansas City, Missouri, according to Airforce Technology.
