UFO files: secret US spy plane Aurora could be behind sightings

A number of UFO sightings may have been caused by a secret US spy plane called Aurora, the existence of which has never been officially admitted, according to files released on Monday.

Published: 8:00AM BST 17 Aug 2009

More than 70 witnesses including police and military personnel reported sightings in Devon, Cornwall, South Wales and Shropshire in the early hours of Wednesday March 31, 1993, with many describing a large, low-flying object which made a low humming sound.

In a briefing note to the Assistant Chief of the Air Staff (ACAS), Sir Anthony Bagnall, the head of the Ministry of Defence's UFO desk wrote that there was evidence of an unidentified craft evading UK defences.

Speculation and rumor-mongering continue.

Appears that the Telegraph has become nothing more than a glorified UK version of the National Enquirer.

Aurora’s been around for over 10 years; it’s probably not even the top recon vehicle for the U.S. Previous sightings reported it had a pulse jet.

Aurora was actually the USAF codename for the B-2 stealth bomber project.

UFO sightings go back thousands of years. A new plane doesn’t explain UFO sightings. Maybe some sightings, but the Aurora goes in a straight line, not zig-zag and doesn’t land in rural areas.

The Aurora cannot exist because it would give us an unfair advantage and hurt the self-esteem of our enemies!

Really? Thousands of years? Do you have a link to a collection of documented accounts?

Of course, there is also Ezekiel’s Wheel: http://net.bible.org/bible.php?book=Eze&chapter=1#n23

LOL! That’s hardly stealthy, though! Having see that UFO move, it doesn’t appear to have pulse jets as commonly believed.

Aurora does not hover. it is a Mach 5 platform and will not be hanging around. What they are seeing is an offshoot of some of the old triangle craft. Many call them “Triads”.

True, hardly a day goes by without another bogus study about something.

Wait, it was a man-made aircraft and not space monsters? Now that just can’t be.
