Strange ATB image in UFO documentary

[YerJokinArnYa]

while watching an unrelated video on youtube the image below was shown very briefly as b-roll. Having quietly followed the B-2 since the first images started making their way into the world, I immediately realised that it was an unusual image. Clearly the B-2, but before the redesign and missing it's inlets. My thought was that maybe this was some kind of image for a presentation to law makers maybe? Interested to know anyones thoughts

No idea where this image came from, but I'm 99% sure it's not a Northrop generated image of the early concept ATB. There were a couple of examples of concept art in Northrop's technical proposal, and this isn't one of them.

This is a conjectural model made by Tony Gonsalves in the late 1980s as an attempt to explain a series of UFO sightings in the New York Hudson Valley during the 1980s. It is not a model of a real aircraft.
