Secret American Space Planes to Dominate Planet Earth

The USA has been working on secret, new- generation space planes In the beginning of the 1990s, Russian intelligence uncovered the fact that the USA was testing a super-secret plane at one of its airbases. Russian agents attempted to see the new object with their own eyes and take pictures of it, but all attempts failed. The Americans provided incredible security for their secret weapon, and they tested the plane only at night. However, Russian agents managed to get some information about the new plane, which the USA calls Aurora, in honor of the Goddess of the Dawn.

The mystery aircraft is capable of flying very high, at a height of 40 and more kilometers. Even the latest pursuit planes cannot fly so high. The Aurora plane also possesses fantastic supersonic speed, the so- called 6M speed, as scientists call it. One M is equal to 340 meters a second. In other words, Aurora can fly at a speed of two kilometers a second, and this is not the limit. This speed is achieved due to extremely powerful engines and the special design of the plane's hull and wings.

The aircraft was constructed based on Stealth technology, which was selected by the American defense industry long ago. The technology poses great difficulties for both ground and air radar systems.

A picture of the real Aurora aircraft is even more rare than a picture of an UFO. So far, Russia has only one picture of the mysterious American plane. The picture was taken by a Russian intelligence officer at the moment when the Aurora plane was refueling in the air. Later, it became known that before the “flying tank of fuel” (KC-135 aircraft) refueled the Aurora, a spy plane flew across Russia from east to west and was not detected by any radar systems.

The Americans invented a new aircraft, which is almost like a rocket. The new plane was invented by American defense scientists with an eye towards the future. The most powerful pursuit planes can fly at heights of 35-40 kilometers. Russia is capable matching its strength with the USA in this respect. Russia has such aircraft: Su-2711, MiG-29, and MiG-31. However, these planes can only fly in the near-Earth environment, whereas the environment between the Earth’s atmosphere and space is still vacant, so to speak. That is why, the development of the near-Earth space environment weapon is so relevant for defense. Who gets there first becomes the winner.

Here, we are talking about totally new kinds of aircraft: spy planes, fighter planes, transport planes, ect. They will be able to fly from the atmosphere into space and then return to Earth. The Americans have been working on this kind of aircraft for years already, developing several “star wars” projects. The United States has been designing and testing such planes for a long time. They already have the X-33, X-34, X-37, and X- 38 planes.

X-33: This supersonic aircraft was designed based upon up-to-date titanic alloys. It is equipped with oxygen- hydrogen jet engines. This plane can reach speeds up to 4,420 meters per second. Graphite and ceramic (thermostable) technologies are used in its engines. Some of this technology was either bought or stolen from Russia. The maximum flight height is 120 kilometers.

X-34: A more modern supersonic aircraft. It is equipped with unique electronic devices and has a special heat-shielding coating. One of its peculiar features is the fact that the plane takes off from an aircraft-carrier, which is also a plane, not a vessel. The X-34 can reach speeds up to 5,440 meters a second. The maximum height is up to 150 kilometers.

Supersonic aircraft of the X class can be both unmanned and piloted planes, with vertical and horizontal takeoffs. It was officially reported that such planes are meant to considerably reduce the amount of money spent on delivering cargo into space. At the present moment, one such delivery costs 22 thousand dollars per one kilo of cargo. These new aircraft will definitely serve defense purposes, such as launching military satellites into orbit. Supersonic space planes can also be equipped with super-powerful telescopes and other equipment. Scientists and engineers are developing ways to equip these planes with missiles, laser weapons, and so on.

In other words, America is working on the first ever space army, which would provide the United States with complete domination in near-Earth orbit. It will not be possible for any anti-missile defense complexes to hit such planes, as they will be completely out of reach. The American space army will be able to hit any target on planet Earth at any moment.

Soviet engineers tried to challenge the Americans and designed a unique aircraft called the Buran. Unfortunately, the aircraft proved to be unsuccessful, and competition with the USA failed. When military opposition between the USSR and the USA was over, the Buran became a part of an exhibition in Moscow’s Park of Culture. The first Soviet space aircraft became a dull memory of a bygone power and might-have- been hopes.

Major General Sergey Kolganov, an academician of the Russian Space Academy, said that the USA's work on the development of supersonic space aircraft poses yet another potential threat to Russia. “I doubt that Russia is ready to fight with these American space planes. Some of our anti-missile defense complexes can hit targets up to 100 kilometers high. However, these new American aircraft can fly higher. Russia has very good ideas for defense, I am certain of that. The Americans have not even dreamed about them. However, they are only ideas, nothing more. Our scientists are not working on any projects that might counteract the American space planes,” Kolganov said.

Oh the Delta Clipper! Yeah I remember now, though I didn't remember it being power by aerospikes.

Ya gotta love the Ruskies. Buran was their midget space shuttle, same dimensions as ours, just a tad smaller.

Actually that's incorrect. Mach 9 is a velocity value, not an acceleration value. Anyone and anything can survive a constant velocity, no matter what the magnitude. The matter of getting to that velocity, on the other hand....

Mach 9 is a velocity. The Space Shuttle hits Mach 25 after launch. The astronauts on Apollo 10 reached Mach 36.

Perhaps you're thinking of 9 G's.

The sightings of that describe an enormous triangular shaped craft often mention that the aircraft seems to be able to hover or move incredibly slowly and make very little noise. The ability to hover fits with the descriptions of the propulsion system on the three corners
with the ability to vector thrust. If this thing really can defeat gravity by up to 89% it wouldn't take very much to keep it airborne, relatively speaking that is.

I've seen an awful lot about this and I'm quite sure there is something to it.

I envy your experience.

Sincerely,

President Felon

PS - By the way, could you get a grasp on it's size??

That made a lot of sense at the time, and there were rumors of high velocity planes being tested in Nevada (where stealth technology was kept under wraps for several years). But it has been so long and I suspect a capability like this would be deployed and exposed before this time. Sadly, I suspect Clinton likely did un-fund the program if it existed. Likely now unmanned air vehicles (like Predator) will replace the SR-71. I would like to think we had something like Aurora but I am not so sure.

Excellent news. We gotta stay one step of those Nazi UFOnauts under the North Pole.

As much as I love cool, fast airplanes, it reminds me of the "Return of the Jedi" movie...we're the technologically advanced "empire" and al-Qaeda are the Ewoks. They seem to be adept at finding primitive ways around our technology...

Sounds so cool. (Even if it is fictional)

Dale says it's all true. He's got downloaded files from the Pentagon, don't ya know...

OK, if I remember my high school physics correctly, I think you mean SPEED. Velocity is a vector, and has a direction.

"I can't believe Clinton would not have trashed it. Spent the money elsewhere or gave the whole plan to China."

I have my suspicions as well! This thread reeks of Tin Foil.

Sounds like the author of the article got ahold of some bad vodka.
No offense, but I wouldn't believe anything in Pravda.

I don't understand why he's so upset.
With the dismantling of our industrial infrastructure, only the Ruskies or the Chicoms will be capable of building it anyway.

I read a book on this theory once.

It was so long ago I forgot most of it but the premise was that UFOs were created by the nazis and that there was some kind of Antarctica connection.

I smoked a lot of that high-test tobacco back then so it made for interesting reading. HA!

The interceptor version of the SR71, the YF12A was rolled out at Edwards in early 1964. Its speed and altitude capabilities were similar to the later recon bird, except as to endurance. Both birds were featured in Martin Caidin's novel, Marooned. So the public was aware, if it read the right sources of the SR71 fairly early.

You might be referring to the F117 Stealth. This aicraft was rumored for a long time, but did not make an appearance until the Panama Invasion. An interesting side note about the 117. In the mid 80's the Monogram Model Company released a purported model of the Stealth fighter. It had flowing rounded lines and was called the F19. At the same time Tom Clancy inhis only Jack Ryanless novel, Red Storm, introduced the F19 under the nickname The Frisbees Of DreamLand. Basing the name on the purported shape. Some have claimed that the Pentagon has used companies like Revell, Monogram and Aurora Testors as platforms for military disinformation back in the good old days of the Cold War. It would be interesting if Revell/ Monogram, one company today, has put out a model of the Aurora.
