And, at times I wonder, it looks beautiful and strange. Is it derived from some "alien" technology?

Just wondering.

B-2 Bomber are designed to fly higher in order not to be detected by radar, hit by missiles and attacked by enemy planes.

The precursor to the B-2 was actually developed at the end of WWII, by Grumman, now the NorthrupGrumman Corporation. There were several flying models, some with an eight engine "pusher" propeller configuration (propellers mounted in the rear of the aircraft), and two were developed utilizing six turbojet engines. Unfortunately, this aircraft required much more labor and engineering expertise to build and maintain, and it was not until the modern materials and methods that we have now to make it practical. As for flying at the edge of space, the F-15 Eagle fighter jet is capable of cruising at 50+ thousand feet, the SR-71 and the U-2 were capable of flying in excess of 90K feet. Space is considered around 120K feet, so the flying at the edge of space isn't too far off the mark.

The ceiling of the B-2 is just less than 9.5 miles or 50,000 feet. The X-15 hit 67 miles. The edge of space is about 60 miles up.

No, it has the mechanicals of a fairly normal jet airplane. As such it starts to starve for oxygen well before it gets high enough. The SR-71 had an operational ceiling of over 80,000 feet and was going so fast that if the pilots weren't careful they could put themselves into orbit (I've heard)

the annunaki/reptiles gave it to us after they crashlanded at area 51 in their ufo.

and yes, they do fly at the edge of space, which makes them obsolete. space ships are better.

They fly to around 50,000 ft.
