Okay, I already know the answer to this question as many of you already do. But some of us still can't ID aircraft in the video too well. So I'm going to settle this once and for all. The plane is not, I repeat, is not an F-22 raptor.

I can't believe anybody thought it was an F/A-22 in the first place. It looks cool, though.
im pretty sure its a JSF fighter now that I think of it. The plane that is gonna be a compliment to the f22
I don't even think that the JSF, matter of fact, I think it looks nothing like it. Besides if I remember correctly, the JSF has one air intake running along the middle of the fuselage. Sorry to bust everyone's bubble here, but thats not the JSF we have all come to know and love. Looks hella cool tho.
It could possibly be a new russian aircraft.
It's not an F-22, nor an F-35. It's...
A take on one of the Russian PAK-FA concepts, the Vityaz. It could also be incorporating design points from the MiG I-2000 (the intakes, for instance, look like the MiG's, as does the engine nozzle, but the rest of the design is definitely the Vityaz), and perhaps borrowing from the Iranian Sha***h. They are ALL very similar, however, and it wouldn't surprise me if it's a conglomoration or an extrapolation of what it might look like when in production.

Wow, thanx man, great find. Now I think we can really say that plane that we saw was a hostile aircraft.Originally posted by Runefox:

The canopy's also a lot different, but when you look at the differences between the YF-22 and the F-22 we know today, it's not far-fetched:
