AN INCREDIBLE video of a B-2 stealth bomber flying over Malvern has been captured by an eagle-eyed resident.

Laura Todd filmed the jet flying overhead on Thursday, August 17, as it was making its way to RAF Fairford.

According to the United States Air Force website, the B-2 Spirit is a multi-role bomber capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear munitions.

In the video, you can see the distinct shape of the plane clearly as it flies overhead before heading off into the distance.

Laura Todd said the experience of seeing one fly with her own eyes was "surreal."

She said: "I had heard a rumour there might be a couple of B-2s heading to RAF Fairford but not entirely sure when.

"Then my son Brad, who was about 25 miles away, rang me to say he'd just seen one go over.

"I knew I only had about one minute to either grab the camera with the wrong lens or just see if I could video it from my phone.

"I heard it before I saw it as it was just into the clouds, then as it passed over my house, it dropped below the cloud level and there appeared the unmistakable shape of the stealth bomber."

A tweet from @CobraEmergency last week showed the stealth bomber on the ground at Fairford and said that they were deployed to Keflavik in Iceland.

The United States Air Force website says that the unrefueled range of the B-2 is approximately 6,000 nautical miles (9,600 kilometers).

The website says: "Its low-observable, or stealth, characteristics give it the unique ability to penetrate an enemy's most sophisticated defences and threaten its most valued, and heavily defended, targets.

"Its capability to penetrate air defences and threaten effective retaliation provides a strong, effective deterrent and combat force well into the 21st century.
