That looks more like a lifting body test vehicle. One that is strapped to a B52 and dropped from high altitude to test the flight dynamics.
Used to the lifting body used in the shuttle program flying into the Edwards recovery runway in the early 70s.

Awfully low aspect ratio with little room for control surfaces. Maybe the wings aren’t bolted on yet. My guess is the blob on top is an air-inlet if this is air-breathing propulsion. Someone will be in deep doo doo for letting this out unless it is intentional disinformation...

That looks like the old Aurora. What is it? About 20 years old now?
