What is the Pentagon’s secret space drone doing?

For almost two years, an unmanned space plane bearing a remarkable resemblance to NASA’s space shuttle has circled the Earth, performing a top-secret mission. It’s called the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle — but that’s pretty much all we know for certain.

Officially, the only role the Pentagon acknowledges is that the space plane is used to conduct experiments on new technologies. Theories about its mission have ranged from an orbiting space bomber to an anti-satellite weapon.

The truth, however, is likely much more obvious: According to intelligence experts and satellite watchers who have closely monitored its orbit, the X-37B is being used to carry secret satellites and classified sensors into space — a little-known role once played by NASA’s new retired space shuttle....

“X-37B is being used to carry secret satellites and classified sensors into space ... “

That’s the cover story. It just waiting for a delayed shipment from the secret Mars colonies ...

I know people, including relatives, who believe we’ve had a secret US Army Moon base since 1965.

If it’s not making nice with Islam NASA is disrespecting the prez.

Yeah. Just search on YouTube for Secret Space Program - there are several variations on the theme.

This one is the only one I’ve found so far on YT which is true - was personally involved back in the day (NSA - space/mil):

At least a hundred miles an hour or it’d drop outta the sky like a rock.

If its gonna drop like a rock, let it drop on Mecca.

Obviously not the same relatives who think the moon landing was set up in a movie studio...:^)

I lived in Hollywood, Florida during Apollo 11. I know better.

Wait... Is there just one space plane or a fleet of them? Even the Space Shuttle, on which the Space Plane is based, required a fleet to get anything accomplished. I can’t believe the Space Plane could carry something into orbit that would fit in the back of my pickup that would somehow threaten the whole world if we fully developed it, which is how everyone is acting. I’m speaking figuratively, of course, about how our enemies are almost in hysterics about our little Chevy Silverado in space.

Miniaturization.

It’s doing secret.....space...................stuff.

I’d love it if it leaked out that our physicists had discovered how to harvest and contain antimatter in orbit with a Silverado-sized collector and that our fleet of a dozen Space Planes had already returned a couple of hundred pounds of it for use in various military delivery systems. Talk about keeping Pooty-Poot up nights...
