Hmmm, "back in the day" I recall discussing the possibility of such
flights in a VariEze, which would naturally have a very low radar
signature. The idea was to paint it black, except for weird
phosphorescent shapes on the underside, and a small black light
mounted under the aircraft to light them up. The idea was that even
if anyboby _did_ report such a strange apparition crossing the border,
he wouldn't be believed...
