It seems pretty obvious, (at least to me), that anyone who has seen the "doughnut" contrail photos must come to a logical conclusion that something classified has been flying our friendly skies for quite some time, possibly for decades. Of course speculation of this type is a no brainier. Its logical to assume that whenever the DOD publicly unveils its latest meanest and leanest flying weapon, like it did for the F-117 Nighthawk in 1988, they must have something else under wraps that is even more meaner and leaner - and most likely fully operational. "Aurora" has often been a hot topic of interest among UFO scholars & enthusiasts - some whom are utterly convinced the craft is the result of reversed engineered alien technology. The alleged alien connection is probably a rumor the DOD helps encourage in its own mysterious ways as it helps obfuscate the real data that inevitably leaks out into the public domain. BTW, it was rumored that Aurora, presumably flying at a very high altitude over Iraq, was secretly deployed during the first Gulf War to coordinate bombing runs. (Don't know if I should put any stock in that claim or not as I'm not sure what the actual strategic advantage would have been, as compared to conventional satellite and AWAC assistance.) Years ago I spoke with an individual, a professional graphic artist, who also has a photographic memory who illustrated in exquisite detail the classic triangular shaped air craft he once spotted. He believes what he saw was one of the Aurora prototypes. The sighting was back in the 90s. It might be of some interest that a significant percentage of reported UFO sightings are not the classic "saucer" shapes but "triangles" - BLACK "triangles". You can view a personal interpretation of one of those "triangles" that a witness commissioned me to paint. See: http://orionworks.com/artgal/svj/MayEncounters_m.htm This triangular shaped craft was sighted in 1988 about 15 miles north west of Madison Wisconsin. Initially when the craft was first spotted crossing above the power lines it was flying way too slow to have been held up aerodynamically. It's fuel source remains a complete mystery. It ran silent. The craft eventually sped off at an incredible accelerated rate that, according to the witness, if he had been on board the g forces would have squashed him flatter than a pancake. This craft did not appear to emit any doughnut shaped contrails. I've heard credible accounts of other triangles spotted in the skies of significantly greater size. (I hope they are ours!) My bet is that project "Aurora" will remain under wraps as far as the public is concerned until the DOD finally has something else under its sleeve that is fully operational, something even MORE meaner and leaner than "Aurora". ...Perhaps a new-and-improved Photon-Drive stealth aircraft capable of inserting itself into low earth orbit, but then maybe that's what "Aurora" is really all about. More grist for the rumor mills! ;-) Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com
