Awesome, must-see video. 

Massive experimental drone takes to skies above Edwards AFB (Video)

The Phantom Eye, Boeing's unmanned aerial vehicle, made its first flight at Edwards
Air Force Base. (Bob Ferguson / Boeing Co. / June 1, 2012)

A massive experimental drone designed by Boeing Co. engineers to fly for up to four days at a time completed its first test flight above the Mojave Desert at Edwards Air Force Base.

The drone, called Phantom Eye, and its hydrogen-fueled propulsion system have the potential to vastly expand the reach of military spy craft. The longest that reconnaissance planes can stay in the air now is about 30 hours.
