What would I call it?

Well, everyone calls it Aurora, that came out in a Pentagon budget document and the plane buffs thought it was the codename for the SR-71 follow-up, turned out that 'Aurora' was a fund for some B-2 spending. But the name stuck. People were seeing this craft in the sky, and Aurora stuck.

Whats it really called? Who knows, the A-17? XB-71? Brilliant Buzzard, Blue Eyes? FDL-5?

Heck, who knows what it's offically called. But I still call it Aurora.

This was no aurora, or any other kind of US craft. They would NOT be test-flying experimental US aircraft in the airspace of Wash DC, in broad daylight, AFTER 9-11. Forget it. Ain't gonna happen.

This was NOT of US origin. The F-16's were scrambled by NORAD.
