I've heard of something that could fit the bill...if
viewed from below.  "Air Force Blue" paint.  Perfect
chroma match for the open sky.  No points for guessing
who developed it; they discontinued because that level
of stealth was an air safety issue, threatening to
more than make up for decreased combat losses in
increased "friendly fire" losses during training and
routine operation.  Some drug cartel could have gotten
their hands on some, or independently redeveloped it.

Not saying that's what it was here.
