Which kind of proves that they are not jet fighters. Modern day jet
fighters actually tend to be aerodynamically rather unstable, to achieve
better banking and turn rates.

"Its age is /claimed/ to be over 250000000 years."

Also, people with different agendas claim different ages for the artifact.
