Thank you groundsquirrel i have seen some sites on this but not that link. I was also hopeing to start a disscussion on this aircraft and hoped someone could confirm its prescence. I remember the reports of it supposedly flying out of Scotland in the late 80`s and also linked to the Helicopter crash, The Chinook in the the Mull of Kintyre in which The four-man crew died with 25 of Ulster’s top counter- terrorism experts when the twin-rotor Chinook hit the Mull of Kintyre while flying from Belfast to Fort George in the north of Scotland. After seemingly hitting the Aurora`s wake trail. There was a cover up and pilot error was blamed.
Also RAF and Dutch radar both picked up an aircraft travelling at speeds of up to MACH 6+.
Is this the new BLACK AIRCRAFT???
Looks like we wont here about this aircraft for another 10 - 15 years. |

| hey, 7e7 guy, the SR-71 Blackbird can cross the atlantic in less than 2 hours si that is about 3000 to 4000 miles. Imagine what it could do in 200 miles ( i am no expert on the USA LA to area 51 is about....... miles) but the aurora is faster so imagine... 5 minutes! please can anyone correct me if i am incorrect :D |
