Project Aurora is very real, my father was a Senior Electronic engineer for the Electronic Warfare division of Raytheon at the Goleta CA site. Before his passing he confessed his involvement in working on the specialized radar system for the plane. Unfortunately he never actually got to see the aircraft itself. But it was titled Project Aurora and was rumored to be a triangular plane using pulse jet technology to travel many times the speed of sound, quicker than the SR-71. He worked at Raytheon since the 70's and was also a Senior engineer on the SLQ-32 missile defense system for the Navy. I say this because I'm proud of his contributions to our country and am proud to be his son, may he rest in peace. Robert G. McGaw, January 22nd, 1947-December 27th, 2017.
Agreed. The voice makes it. The woman that narrates it smokes 12 packs of Camels throughout the duration of the video. Love it! Seriously…..The guys voice sounds confident and sincere…. and old school.
I was speaking about Hackers. They get into everything. I just found fraudulent activity on a bank account I have, you can do anything with a computer and some knowledge and their is people out there that spy on people. I understand the premise of top secret and the government's need to protect projects. But I was just blurting out that nothing is safe anymore. And privacy is dead.
think, cold war was never cold, it has never officially in Cia end ended. to date we have hotter cold war scenerio existing with China and Russia again. there is numerous black projects and fpr good reason kept hush. China has been mocking or cloning sometimes attempting to make cross looking aircraft of us black aircraft and stealth. ever since the the 117 crashed Russia middle east to China including north Korea got pieces. those birds are based on that crashed stealth thus they said can the 117 to air national guard and yard. what is bad is this brings those enemies yes enemies still closer to modern stealth. let's not forget the drone crash. they also have applied that to their aircraft. I once asked a Chinese former advisor about ufos he took it serious and said if the US has them we do to though they may vary. he had said we live in a false reality outside closed doors. a reality stuck in the past.
+ProjectsBlack not just hackers, you can't hide an aeroplane, eventually you gotta take it outside and fly it... and someone somewhere is gonna record it, short of a 10,000 mile long hanger to fly about in
+ProjectsBlack Yes Area 51 is 'growing' but there also a number of other bases I will not name. Too much publicity now in '51 maybe they moved some stuff 'elsewhere'.
Dude, Radio Shack had very nice radios and scanners. All he was doing is monitoring frequencies. If it was unencrypted anyone can hear aircraft transmissions.
this may sound funny but they are doing intergalactic travels with extraterrestrials nowadays using their ships and humanity is under the control of an alliance
I was living in San Diego back in 1992 and on multiple occasions spanning a 2 week period we heard the double sonic booms that were mentioned here. At one point one of the local TV stations plotted the reports of it's news teams that were around the county and the line was heading in the general direction of Edwards AFB. When the the station asked the Air Force and Navy (we had 2 naval air stations there at the time one has been transferred to the Marines) we got 2 answers. The Navy said flat out "We do not have anything that could fly that fast or that high" the Air Force just simply denied it was theirs. As a military brat even at 12 my mind went *DING* we have a winner!! Ever since I was wondering what the USAF was playing around with.
+Andrew Oriez I have heard it two years ago. Not just a pop and bang sonic boom something sounded lot deeper and I can see why it registered on seismic charts. I would not want to be the pilot to be sent up to catch it...my service celiing would make it pointless in every fighter plane I know in service....100,000ft or greater is out of their league. Near earth orbits and higher...
In March of 2016 I was in Phoenix area and was hiking down a trail in the desert. I was keeping an eye on an area of the sky due to myself being a pilot and this area was an approach pattern for the main airport. As I was watching a jet I saw above it another jet heading the opposite direction crossing the sky fast and at an altitude I’d guess in excess of 45,000 ft. My estimate was this aircraft was going over 3,000 mph and made no jet sound I could hear. It went from my 11 o’clock position to my 3 o’clock position disappearing over the horizon in about 15 seconds. It left a contrail but just not the pulsating type.
I was told by a major player, who was at the time, a OEM aircraft component engineer & supplier to the Federal Government during the 80's, who knew & worked closely with scientists and engineer's at Wright-Patterson, was shown special substrate materials, saw photograph's & graph's describing performance of this craft from the 80's thru the 90's. By the middle 90's, the craft, The Aurora, was expected to be capable of flying over Mach 10 in atmosphere.
Taking into account the MONUMENTAL rise of computer technology (and it's accompanying design capabilities) since the SR-71 was designed, it's pretty safe to say that we have shit flying around in the sky that makes the Blackbird look like the Wright Brother's Flyer.
Nah, the reason the decades of 50s to 80s were advancing in technologies so quickly was cause it was during the Cold War And an arms race was going on. US allocated billions to research and development in creating revolutionary technology quickly. Also computer technology was at its early stages in the 50s and was fast advancing allowing unsolvable problems being able to be solved much quicker and more efficiently in smaller more compact size
Plot twist: the "Darkstar" plane in "Top Gun Maverick" was the real Aurora aircraft and it was declassified for the movie. Even the same dang callsign 🤔
I was travelling on an GNER train to Edinburgh with my family more than 10 years ago (north of Morpeth) when we heard [yes above the sound of the train] an odd jet, stroke scrunching sound. All of us in the front portion of the lead carriage that looked out the window saw the "donuts-on-a-rope" contrail formation within seconds of hearing that strange sound. Funny, 90% of us started talking about the possibility that we'd just witnessed an 'Aurora' incident. No BS it was so obvious. I'm convinced she exists...
So my dad worked for a company in Calabasas, California, deceased now, and talked about this plane to me in 96 to 97 and said it goes up to 5,500 mph. He was an electrical engineer who worked for a government run, mostly, agency. I can confirm that this plane exists. I dont think anything else like this exists to this day. No other plane classified or does exist. My pops was the man.
Sooo "Darkstar" is actually a now declassified Lockheed Martin/Boeing UAV aircraft that was being tested in 1996. Otherwise known as the RQ-3 DarkStar.
At 7:44, they play recordings of some radio chatter involving an aircraft with the callsign "Darkstar Sierra". I'm writing this on November 26th, 2022. Earlier this year, a sequel of the Top Gun film was released featuring a "fictional" plane called Darkstar. I'm currently flying this plane at Mach 9.95 on Microsoft Flight Simulator. Lol. So in hindsight, I think this may have been what was being seen and heard in the 90s, and has now been declassified and put in a movie as a "fictional" plane, at a time of rising tensions with China and Russia. Still a cool plane
I would be far more surprised if I found out it doesn't exist. 1960's technology like the SR-71 looks and performs like it is still cutting edge tech. I can only imagine the things they've come up with since then.
Living in Malibu back in the late 80's in the mornings we'd wake to this funny rumbling from the sky that would shake the windows. I'd run out to look and there would be these strange contrails that we called popcorn on a string. They were very high maybe FL45-50. Round and round in a huge circle then track due west from us. The morning news would be abuzz of reports of these strange noises. JPL and CALTECH even triangulated them to the Tonapah, Nv area. Well, almost straight west is perhaps the blackest test area on the west coast, St Nicholas Island. Never heard a word after that.
the "popcorn on a string" contrails aren't particularly unusual I worked in west London for a couple of years just a couple of miles from Heathrow airport - one of the busiest airports in the world. If you spent any time looking at the sky on days when conditions were good for contrail formation, you'd be pretty much guaranteed to see a few contrails like that. Not sure what causes it - whether it's a particular type of plane or engine, or a product of particular weather or atmospheric conditions, but they certainly aren't special and the likelihood of a secret spy plane being flown in some of the busiest airspace in the world above a major city is practically zero.
THEY ARE ACTUALLY CHEMTRAILS; NOT CONTRAILS... CHEM HAS A LONG FINGERPRINT, WHILE "CON", HAS A SHORT FINGERPRINT. DUE TO CONDENSATION, WHICH "EVAPORATES " VERY FAST IN COMPARISON.... 🤔 ... YOU'RE WELCOME...
@@ronniedudley2697 Thank you for showing your ignorance. Yes they were CONTRAILS... Water vapor from the engines cooling and sublimating in the upper troposphere. They can easily build to thick clouds. Why do you think the USAF weather guys in the 40's tried so dang hard to avoid contrails? Those banks were a giant SHOOT HERE for Luftwaffe AAA crews!!!!
Recently (past couple years) there was a famous sighting of three triangles maneuvering at high speed. Shortly after the photos came out there was a sighting of three b2s flying a similar pattern, as if to back up the government account of what happened. But it had already been confirmed that no b2 was in flight during the first sighting.
I've seen the "doughnuts on a rope" type contrail coming from a commercial airliner. More than once. The contrail looked normal directly behind the aircraft. Several seconds behind the jet the contrail formed into the "doughnuts on a rope" shape. IMO it must have to do with atmospheric conditions. Winds, temp., pressure etc..
My wife and I witnessed this exact aircraft over northeastern Arizona being intercepted by two F-35's which it egressed to the east and left them behind at a speed I've never imagined. Not a single sonic boom was ever heard. I could see all three aircraft clearly using a set of binoculars. I am very knowledgeable in aircraft identification and I knew immediately what it was.
"Aroura" is the name of a funding operation for a group of planes. They include the SR-75, the TR-3b, the X-43b, the TR3a & Tr3c (one of those is a smaller version of the TR-3b; they played with the nomenclature to throw people off). What they saw getting fueled was the SR-75 and it makes the weird contrails and multiple booms. It uses ramjet or scramjet technology and is capable of Mach 5 to Mach 12; maybe higher but that is fast as it has gone as far as we know. The TR-3b uses a plasma technology and has nuclear power on board and can go into space. It is often mistaken for a UFO as it can go double-digit Mach speeds and make what appears to be right angle turns; it's cant, but it appears that way to the naked eye.
Scramjet tech is what took over the SR series during the late cold War. The TR series took over that in the 1990s. What we have now is known only as the "tic-tac"...
I wouldn't be surprised. SR-71 Blackbird was made in the early 1960's, and that plane flew at Mach 3.3, absolute speed record. An SR-71 pilot said it could fly in excess of Mach 3.5. Remember...this was the early 1960's when the plane was made. Fun fact, in January of 1960, the military ordered 12 A-12 aircraft. The A-12 is essentially the father of the SR-71. The maximum speed of the A-12 was Mach 3.2, just .1 Mach under the SR-71's absolute speed record belt. We had this high-speed supersonic technology most likely developed to a degree just before the 1960's, lol. In its infancy, yeah, especially considering the aircraft's basics were being evaluated starting in 1957 when the CIA wanted another high-speed stealth spy plane. But the point stands. Technology doesn't progress evenly, and we can't make exact predictions, but it has been *56+ years* since we first made Mach 3+ jets, and, IIRC, newer and more efficient propulsion systems are being researched all the time for anything needing propulsion to function in its proper role. NASA has the quite the load of concepts and prototypes when it comes to propulsion for instance. And of course... The government and especially militaries are *always* hiding things from everyone using any methods they can without giving themselves away. Fibbing included. Lots of fibbing... So I'm not gonna say Mach 8 Triangle UFO exists yet, but if it DOES, I wouldn't say I'm surprised.
While it's a nice fantasy to imagine that they carried on building and flying ultra fast jets after the Blackbird family, it's just not realistic. Aside from the technological and metallurgical impossibilities mentioned by Mr Spookabunny, why would any nation carry on sinking insanely huge amounts of money into designing and building a system that they would have *zero* use for? Why bother with a hypersonic spy plane when boring, mundane satellites can get you better pictures, in less time, without needing to put a pilot and / or airframe at risk? There might be the odd occasion where they'd need overhead surveillance of a specific place, at a specific time, outside of the satellite's reach or timetable, but would it be worth keeping these fantasy jets flight ready, with the ludicrous amounts of maintenance and prep work they'd require, on a secret base staffed by secret (and expert) employees and guarded by secret soldiers? Today, I think of things like the "Aurora" as being like Santa Claus - it'd be lovely if they were real, but unfortunately, dull and boring real life has no place for them. --S
+ProjectsBlack Russia is still working on hypersonic technology- the PAK-TA is only in design stage- the Russians or Chinese have not even broke Mach 10 yet. The SA-2 shot down the U-2 as it was within heigh/range of it the SR-71 would outpace it due to the missiles range limitation. You'd need something stolen from Area 51 to shoot one down.
It's Sr 72 successor to the sr71 twice the speed of the 71. It's amazing. 100 foot long. Looks alot like the 71 with big differences in aerial dynamics. Now you know about this one but you do not know about the new crafts that's classified. I know a little of the new projects that are in testing faze now. Those are so futuristic you wouldn't believe me. Wing shape change. Micro tubing to fix holes. Faster, lazers, can take off in water. Absolutely amazing. Sr72 is out already. Testing was done long ago
Myself and 2 others who all together have about 80 yrs total in aviation spotted a unidentified craft about 1 yr ago. We guestimated it was 10 thousand agl and moving very quickly possibly approaching M1. What was eerie is it made no sound. At that alt and speed we were expecting to be boomed or at least hear a roar but nothing. Craft was not black but light color possibly white. Very streamlined, tear drop shaped with no vertical surfaces,tail,winglets etc. If our alt guess was close the craft was probably med sized approx f-15 sized. Also, my co pilot and I in the early 80s saw what we found out later was the B2 Stealth operating just S of Shaw AFB SC more than 5 years before it was made public. Very active MOA areas and high speed airways in my area.
An aircraft that has been flight capable (at least in the testing phase) since the early 90s, is still miles ahead of current public technology over a generation later, and has been classified to the point that it “doesn’t exist” for over 30 years Thats one awfully well-kept secret, guys!
It’s a open secret at this point. I’d imagine this guy was talking about 1989 I’d imagine what ever is currently cutting edge currently is still very well hidden.
I've seen 'donuts on a rope' contrails before but assumed it was atmospheric distortion on the contrails. In San Antonio, just about a week ago there was a full moon and as I drove down the street, I saw a contrail and blinking lights on an aircraft. Although dark, I could see the object creating the contrail as a dot zooming across the sky at incredible speed. It must have been extremely high in the sky and the weird part is I heard no noise, even after I slowed down and pulled down the window to try finding it among the treetops.
Aurora seems to be a codename for a group of different projects. What we normally think of as Aurora seems to be something similar to the recently announced SR-72. In fact, I'm pretty certain it is the SR-72. But this umbrella project seems to include a bunch of drone programs. The RQ-3 seems to be involved, but things really start to get strange when we think about the TR3 Black Manta, and the even more mysterious TR3b Astra, The main thing that seems to unify all these projects though is that they are all fixed delta wing craft. They all have that triangular shape. Which means that everything involved under this Aurora umbrella is likely the cause of most or all the triangular ufo sightings over the past 35 years
And low & behold Dark Star makes an appearance in new Top Gun film in 2022, USAF are clearly preparing the ground for a public release shortly. Clearly it has been flying for some time already. No surprise there.
@@user-jh6ik1qd7p yes. I image since the interviews in this view seem to be at least 25 years old roughly that dark star is if I had to guess previous gen tech and that what ever is cutting edge now is still classified
hmmmm, I wonder if this was an disinformation thing then, dress up a plane and fly it over some royal observer people, hell it could have been made out of paper mashe and towed by one of the other aeroplanes, get the ruskies pumping money into things they dont need, make the world think youve got a superplane etc...... or maybe a 7000 mph plane would be useful, maybe its a 7000mph drone now
Maybe the Easter Bunny is real too. After almost 30 years of talk and still no bland looking "Aurora" it doesn't exist. A 7000 mph JET aircraft would burnup. This conversation is childish. We are closer to Cyborg technology than a 7000 mph jet.
I know an Air Force pilot who I believe flies one of these out of Pensacola of all places. He was a B1B pilot but his ultimate goal was to be an astronaut. When we last communicated a few years ago when asked what he is now flying he said it was top secret. All he would divulge was that the plane is quite small, flies really high and on really long missions. Also, he flies out of Pensacola which is a Navy base. I suppose he could take off directly over the Gulf of Mexico there without flying over land. I believe he is flying the SR 71 replacement. I bet whoever flies this will get their astronaut wings.
I do believe you are full of shit, as the men who do fly such aircraft are strictly black opts. This means they fly aircraft that does not exist, going to places that exist nowhere & fly missions that never was. And they do not talk about such with anyone, including you.
I remember hearing those sonic. Booms in the early 90s in southern California. It was every Thursday morning. And we already knew it was the Aurora project.
My Grandfather worked for Lockheed Martin, he died years before I was born. It’s crazy to think that he probably had some part working on this and the SR-71
Why ain't anyone talking about the call sign 'Darkstar', this may be a stretch but think of Top gun Maverick the sr72 was nicknamed the Darkstar so is that a reference or something more🤔
while I was stationed in Okinawa Japan In 1979 and 1980 the sr 71 was stationed at Karen's air force Base and we could see it from time to time so it couldn't have been that secret because Japanese civilians were on the base all the time and who knows what other people just off base could see it. so it wasn't that big of a secret at the time. the Russian properly even knew a lot of the specs of the jet because we were shown pictures of the jet when I got my top secret clearance to show us how vernable information was from the sky. Jane's publication was famous at the time for publishing information about top secret military hardware. In Okinawa Japan the Japanese civilians called it the habu after a snake on the island and could see it take off and land. it's very hard to hide something like that on such a small island such as Okinawa Japan. Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey u.s.a.
It's not just one set of secrets like the speed of Blackbird, the phenomenonal photography capabilities , they saved so many untold lives with the information retrieved that all I can say is HABU to all the men who served in the Blackbird Pilots , maintenance men, in flight refueling ,yeah HABU and thanks you know who are.
I remember reading a book in my middle school library talking about the Aurora as a prototype hypersonic reconnaissance plane meant to replace the SR-71. Later read from various sources that it was probably discontinued sight of drones, X-37B, and satellites accomplishing more, conveniently, and without the need for speed or evasion.
I saw a contrail like that and something moving at insane speed over my house in Nova Scotia Canada years ago. No noise though. I am a retired aircraft engineer so I know it wasn’t a regular aircraft.
They've been flying hyper-sonics since the late 80's. At least 2 type are thought to have flown. One is the black arrowhead shape discussed in this video. The other looks like a flattened football; sometimes refered to as a pumpkin seed shape (this is the one with the PDW propulsion which leaves the donuts-on-a-rope contrail). An excellent animation of the aircraft is on UA-cam. These are our best guesses of what's up there. What we don't have a clue about is the current status of these aircraft. Are one or both in operation? Were they just proposals which didn't go beyond the test program? One thing for sure; the hyper-sonics are hyper-secret, and will likely remain so for a very long time.
Call me crazy if you want, but I saw something triangular flying very high in the sky while visiting Orlando last year. It was moving in a straight line at a speed that I have no way of comparing to modern commercial or know. Military aircraft. It made no sound and left no contrail. I would not have even seen it had it not been for a good friend of mine spotting it while looking up. It took a moment for me to find it in the sky but at about the time I did find it it was already well on its way to be long gone. I was amazed. I have been associated with aviation since 1986 and have served in the military and still serve in the aviation community. What I saw I have never been able to identify or compare with modern aviation technology. I have wondered if what I saw was the Aurora, or something else altogether. But I did see something and it was intelligently designed and under intelligent operation. I believe that It was not a meteor or other space debris nor anything naturally occurring in the world.
that guys douglas has single handedly produced half of all the photographic evidence that exists of the aurora project. I admire his determination and enthusiasm for the aurora project and aviation in general
Been hearing about this for a least a decade. Different variations of the same story, any where in the world in 90 minutes. Was photographed by the Space shuttle and later by the international space station. One story had it docking with the station. One even said it orbited the moon. Every thing we "know" is a least 10 years out of date. Remember what we "knew" about" Stealth aircraft in the late 80's to the early 90's ?. The military didn't talk about one till one crashedm
Regarding the "doughnuts on a rope" images, it seems fairly compelling that this would be produced by some unique kind of propulsion system (e.g. a PDE) but this is not the case. Years ago, when flying model planes, I noticed that a standard passenger jet flew over head, leaving a typical looking contrail. About ten minutes later, I happened to look up (to watch some other model being flown) and noticed that the contrail had taken on the form of "doughnuts on a rope". So it was just some atmospheric phenomenon nothing special at all. I took a photograph of it and just checked it again today. It clearly matches the images in this video. I've no idea how it happens but it's just a normal occurrence.
I see them regularly. I think the wing tip vortices drift through the contrail and swirl it into regularly spaced ‘doughnuts’. You can see them all over and behind aircraft you are actually following to the same destination.
I think the Aurora is really the Convair KingFish that was designed in the late 1950's alongside the A12 oxcart. Plans were in place for it to fly at Mach 9 and the design was almost identical to the SR-91 AURORA depictions we see online except the cockpit was more angular. I bet they kept working on the KingFish until it became the Aurora.
I saw it. 13 years ago above Prince Nevada. About 12,000 feet above the ground I think, slow, with 2 silver jets on either side. I made them to be T 38 but not at all sure. Heading north above clouds, I heard the strange sound, looked up, and saw this formation cross through an opening in the clouds. No contrails on the T 38s. donuts on a rope, mostly just dots, from the black triangle in the middle. Black plane just a bit longer than the T 38s. About the same "wing" span. Then the chase planes broke off left and right and the Black plane turned sharply left, west, and broke out a heavy contrail. Still with donuts. After a full 180 turn the chase planes came back into formation and the formation disappeared above the clouds. NO sonic boom, "slow" turn. Perhaps 400 MPH or less. But very sharp! Turning radius perhaps 1.5 miles. Then in about half an hour, they came back. Same maneuver same place.
I thought this was already out?? Yes, it's real, I found out in 1998 when I asked my air force buddy about "secrets". He said well, the Auroras amazing. Kinda like a F-117 and a SR-71 combined. That's all he would tell me.
Regardless if its Aurora or not I would love to see a fully functioning pulse detonation engine in the air. Would be cool to see it on a redesigned Concorde.
The con-trail I looked at went coast to coast and allegedly was made in 45 minutes. It's been a long time since I looked but whatever made the con trail had to be traveling 1000 mph or better.
It was 100% the Aurora, given the sightings, especially the sonic booms, Donuts on a Rope contrails, and the formation sighting and drawing by Chris Gibson, this was real and the US was indeed developing a new hypersonic, possibly stealth reconnaissance aircraft.
I read an article in 1997 about the aurora. I have seen some really strange aircraft in our section of Virginia and we have Navy and Air force plans going over and doing flyovers through the mt.s where we live. Some could go over 10 miles in less than 10 sec. and not make a sonic boom! I am not the only one to see these planes. So we have some planes that are really our of this world.
In 2000 I saw an object flying at an extremely high altitude and going faster than anything I'd ever seen. I watched it fly from horizon to horizon in less than 10 seconds and it left that donuts on a rope type trail.
I Saw 2 UFO FROM A LUNAR CRATER IN SE MOON CROSS 1/4 OF SKY IN 3/4 SEC...TO THE RIGHT, THEN STEP ON IT, TO THE LEFT, CROSS 1/4 SKY & GONE. BACK IN 68 nam.
They did. Old tech. 1990s. Supposedly hit 7000mph. I swear to god I saw one in 1991 at night. It was glowing from high heat after s high speed run and silent at about 20,000 ft. I think it was coming down after a high speed run . Thought it was a UFO
I saw exactly this silhouette of over 10 aircraft, it was in one night in May 2018 over the island of Koh Samui, they flew fast in formation and silently from east to west. The sky was clear with moonlight which is why I recognized it very well.
ok last post i swear... sooo any old people remember mico-machines? little vehicles from 80s & 90s. welp the x-87 Remora was one of my micro machines. and in spent.
4 years later I can garantee you the toy industry is one of the most reliable source of industrial espionage in the world. If you want to know the latest EAC shape, then visit a toy store.
I shot a photo in March of a high altitude object going way faster than a normal jet. The con trail looked similar to what this video shows and it was heading south west ( area 51 ). I was taking pics of the comet so I had my longest telephoto lens on 500mm. It will not let me post a link here :(
We regularly hear a series of booms, east of Sacramento California. They come in a series, one after he other. Nearby bases used to have SR-71s, but we have been told it is the Sierra Army depot blowing up old munitions that generates the sound.
I love the idea that "Aurora" was completely unrelated to any aerospace development but the public have made it into this fantastic super secretive aircraft that doesn't exist. Even better if the skunk works staff were looking at these ideas going "we wish it was a flying aircraft". Who knows? Quite a few people out there will know exactly what the "aurora" was on the budget sheet, but even if they tell the world, people will doubt them. It's been blown into something so large, only the extraordinary will suffice. "Oh, it was the entire Skunk works electricity bill" just won't cut the mustard with many. Either way, we know from the 30 years following on from the early 90s that MANY black projects are actually unmanned aircraft or in the case of Boeing, many were space vehicles. The Aurora may have even been the name for a ground prototype only and never actually flew.
+Sauron Merciful The USAF doesn't have to admit anything. Lockheed is developing the SR-72 so why all of this other bullshit? Why? Because some people are never happy unless they believe there is something "big" going on. I think it's two type of people:1. the kooks and it doesn't matter what you tell them because they will cling to anything that feeds that inner whatever, schizophrenia, schizo affective, life suck and they need something to displace the problems. 2. the people that hope or wish so fervently that there is a huge massive city deep underground somewhere (antartica?), or that the aliens are here and always have been helping us along, that enough alien craft have crashed and we are reverse engineering technology, ....I have a great imagination I could just keep going and going. Why does the government keep things secret? Really? You do understand how Stalin and thus Russia gained jet technology and nuclear technology right? After WW II we gave it to them in the spirit of friendship. Then they gave us the finger and dropped an iron curtain across europe. Why do we keep secrets? because people singularly (some of us) are greedy pieces of crap and quite willing to screw their country for profit. Why keep secrets? If the Existence of Vladimir Putin doesn't answer that question then you need to wake up.
Absolutely, that and much more. My brother told me of a small helicopter that flew silently that was used for reconnaissance in Vietnam. That has yet to be disclosed. I saw footage of a CH-53 helicopter doing a roll and loop in boot camp (Marines 1977) and that technology has been recently released. So who knows what special aircraft that are flying about. I'm not sure if they have an anti-gravity craft operational yet but there was a patent on it. All I could figure from it was you needed two opposing magnetic fields operating against each other for flight. It would have to have some powerful engines of some type to generate that much magnetic forces. Who knows maybe they do since some of UFO's seen have erratic movements. It would take quite of bit of skill to operate one like learning to drive a stick shift or motorcycle. With the computers we have today that problem may have been corrected. But I wonder if the magnetic forces would work in space?
The call sign Dark star was most likely referring to the RQ-1 Dark Star prototype. I've read Bill Sweetman's book and I think I can recall him saying that the pulse detonating engine wouldn't work for the Aurora.
I said the exact same thing to a guy I met that worked for NORAD in the 70s and 80s. His words to me were, "there are things the government has been doing since the 60s that are still classified"
Project Aurora is very real, my father was a Senior Electronic engineer for the Electronic Warfare division of Raytheon at the Goleta CA site. Before his passing he confessed his involvement in working on the specialized radar system for the plane. Unfortunately he never actually got to see the aircraft itself. But it was titled Project Aurora and was rumored to be a triangular plane using pulse jet technology to travel many times the speed of sound, quicker than the SR-71. He worked at Raytheon since the 70's and was also a Senior engineer on the SLQ-32 missile defense system for the Navy.

I was speaking about Hackers. They get into everything. I just found fraudulent activity on a bank account I have, you can do anything with a computer and some knowledge and their is people out there that spy on people. I understand the premise of top secret and the government's need to protect projects. But I was just blurting out that nothing is safe anymore. And privacy is dead.
think, cold war was never cold, it has never officially in Cia end ended. to date we have hotter cold war scenerio existing with China and Russia again. there is numerous black projects and fpr good reason kept hush. China has been mocking or cloning sometimes attempting to make cross looking aircraft of us black aircraft and stealth. ever since the the 117 crashed Russia middle east to China including north Korea got pieces. those birds are based on that crashed stealth thus they said can the 117 to air national guard and yard. what is bad is this brings those enemies yes enemies still closer to modern stealth. let's not forget the drone crash. they also have applied that to their aircraft. I once asked a Chinese former advisor about ufos he took it serious and said if the US has them we do to though they may vary. he had said we live in a false reality outside closed doors. a reality stuck in the past.

I was living in San Diego back in 1992 and on multiple occasions spanning a 2 week period we heard the double sonic booms that were mentioned here. At one point one of the local TV stations plotted the reports of it's news teams that were around the county and the line was heading in the general direction of Edwards AFB. When the the station asked the Air Force and Navy (we had 2 naval air stations there at the time one has been transferred to the Marines) we got 2 answers. The Navy said flat out "We do not have anything that could fly that fast or that high" the Air Force just simply denied it was theirs. As a military brat even at 12 my mind went *DING* we have a winner!! Ever since I was wondering what the USAF was playing around with.
look up the x-43a

In March of 2016 I was in Phoenix area and was hiking down a trail in the desert. I was keeping an eye on an area of the sky due to myself being a pilot and this area was an approach pattern for the main airport. As I was watching a jet I saw above it another jet heading the opposite direction crossing the sky fast and at an altitude I’d guess in excess of 45,000 ft. My estimate was this aircraft was going over 3,000 mph and made no jet sound I could hear. It went from my 11 o’clock position to my 3 o’clock position disappearing over the horizon in about 15 seconds. It left a contrail but just not the pulsating type.

I was told by a major player, who was at the time, a OEM aircraft component engineer & supplier to the Federal Government during the 80's, who knew & worked closely with scientists and engineer's at Wright-Patterson, was shown special substrate materials, saw photograph's & graph's describing performance of this craft from the 80's thru the 90's. By the middle 90's, the craft, The Aurora, was expected to be capable of flying over Mach 10 in atmosphere.
Taking into account the MONUMENTAL rise of computer technology (and it's accompanying design capabilities) since the SR-71 was designed, it's pretty safe to say that we have shit flying around in the sky that makes the Blackbird look like the Wright Brother's Flyer.
Nah, the reason the decades of 50s to 80s were advancing in technologies so quickly was cause it was during the Cold War And an arms race was going on. US allocated billions to research and development in creating revolutionary technology quickly. Also computer technology was at its early stages in the 50s and was fast advancing allowing unsolvable problems being able to be solved much quicker and more efficiently in smaller more compact size

Plot twist: the "Darkstar" plane in "Top Gun Maverick" was the real Aurora aircraft and it was declassified for the movie. Even the same dang callsign 🤔
thats because it all ways existed
FACTS!
I was travelling on an GNER train to Edinburgh with my family more than 10 years ago (north of Morpeth) when we heard [yes above the sound of the train] an odd jet, stroke scrunching sound. All of us in the front portion of the lead carriage that looked out the window saw the "donuts-on-a-rope" contrail formation within seconds of hearing that strange sound. Funny, 90% of us started talking about the possibility that we'd just witnessed an 'Aurora' incident. No BS it was so obvious. I'm convinced she exists...
So my dad worked for a company in Calabasas, California, deceased now, and talked about this plane to me in 96 to 97 and said it goes up to 5,500 mph. He was an electrical engineer who worked for a government run, mostly, agency. I can confirm that this plane exists. I dont think anything else like this exists to this day. No other plane classified or does exist. My pops was the man.
Liar
@@theyracemesohardchair Cute name and true. I have met a lot of guys whom have climbed that "ant hill" you call a mountain.
Sooo "Darkstar" is actually a now declassified Lockheed Martin/Boeing UAV aircraft that was being tested in 1996. Otherwise known as the RQ-3 DarkStar.
Darkstar is also the callsign used for AWACS aircraft
Hmmm I see, I didn't know that. So that must have been what it was that was tracking the Aurora if it exists.
Muchos gracias :-D
@Chris Murphy Unmanned craft still often have remote pilots.
Thought the exact same thing,
At 7:44, they play recordings of some radio chatter involving an aircraft with the callsign "Darkstar Sierra". I'm writing this on November 26th, 2022. Earlier this year, a sequel of the Top Gun film was released featuring a "fictional" plane called Darkstar. I'm currently flying this plane at Mach 9.95 on Microsoft Flight Simulator. Lol. So in hindsight, I think this may have been what was being seen and heard in the 90s, and has now been declassified and put in a movie as a "fictional" plane, at a time of rising tensions with China and Russia. Still a cool plane
I can clear this up. It is actually a Suzuki 1300 cc Hayabusa motorcycle with a supercharger. That thing is a rocket. Sorry for the confusion.

I would be far more surprised if I found out it doesn't exist. 1960's technology like the SR-71 looks and performs like it is still cutting edge tech. I can only imagine the things they've come up with since then.

It was a hot topic at Comic Con!
It is in the new Top Gun
Living in Malibu back in the late 80's in the mornings we'd wake to this funny rumbling from the sky that would shake the windows. I'd run out to look and there would be these strange contrails that we called popcorn on a string. They were very high maybe FL45-50. Round and round in a huge circle then track due west from us. The morning news would be abuzz of reports of these strange noises. JPL and CALTECH even triangulated them to the Tonapah, Nv area. Well, almost straight west is perhaps the blackest test area on the west coast, St Nicholas Island. Never heard a word after that.
the "popcorn on a string" contrails aren't particularly unusual
I worked in west London for a couple of years just a couple of miles from Heathrow airport - one of the busiest airports in the world.
If you spent any time looking at the sky on days when conditions were good for contrail formation, you'd be pretty much guaranteed to see a few contrails like that.
Not sure what causes it - whether it's a particular type of plane or engine, or a product of particular weather or atmospheric conditions, but they certainly aren't special and the likelihood of a secret spy plane being flown in some of the busiest airspace in the world above a major city is practically zero.
Hmmm. . . . TTR . . . Tonapah Test Range.
THEY ARE ACTUALLY CHEMTRAILS; NOT CONTRAILS... CHEM HAS A LONG FINGERPRINT, WHILE "CON", HAS A SHORT FINGERPRINT. DUE TO CONDENSATION, WHICH "EVAPORATES " VERY FAST IN COMPARISON.... 🤔 ... YOU'RE WELCOME...
@@ronniedudley2697 Thank you for showing your ignorance.
Yes they were CONTRAILS... Water vapor from the engines cooling and sublimating in the upper troposphere. They can easily build to thick clouds.
Why do you think the USAF weather guys in the 40's tried so dang hard to avoid contrails?
Those banks were a giant SHOOT HERE for Luftwaffe AAA crews!!!!
Recently (past couple years) there was a famous sighting of three triangles maneuvering at high speed. Shortly after the photos came out there was a sighting of three b2s flying a similar pattern, as if to back up the government account of what happened.
But it had already been confirmed that no b2 was in flight during the first sighting.
I've seen the "doughnuts on a rope" type contrail coming from a commercial airliner. More than once. The contrail looked normal directly behind the aircraft. Several seconds behind the jet the contrail formed into the "doughnuts on a rope" shape. IMO it must have to do with atmospheric conditions. Winds, temp., pressure etc..
My wife and I witnessed this exact aircraft over northeastern Arizona being intercepted by two F-35's which it egressed to the east and left them behind at a speed I've never imagined. Not a single sonic boom was ever heard. I could see all three aircraft clearly using a set of binoculars. I am very knowledgeable in aircraft identification and I knew immediately what it was.
Yes! They are building something secret, that's why its secret!!!
"Aroura" is the name of a funding operation for a group of planes. They include the SR-75, the TR-3b, the X-43b, the TR3a & Tr3c (one of those is a smaller version of the TR-3b; they played with the nomenclature to throw people off).
What they saw getting fueled was the SR-75 and it makes the weird contrails and multiple booms. It uses ramjet or scramjet technology and is capable of Mach 5 to Mach 12; maybe higher but that is fast as it has gone as far as we know.
The TR-3b uses a plasma technology and has nuclear power on board and can go into space. It is often mistaken for a UFO as it can go double-digit Mach speeds and make what appears to be right angle turns; it's cant, but it appears that way to the naked eye.
Where did you find this information
Scramjet tech is what took over the SR series during the late cold War. The TR series took over that in the 1990s. What we have now is known only as the "tic-tac"...
He has flatly said that such a program does not exist. Wow, does one think someone at that level would admit to something like Aurora?
Probably not. He probably couldn't. Ben Rich likely took all kinds of classified information to the grave.
It was the F-22. Simple answer.
+Josh Malech f-22 isn't deep sounding, its a high pitch whine
subject191 Not true. It depends on the altitude and degree of pressure with thrust
*****
Sounds like a F-22 or F-35 to me
If anyone thinks that the development stopped after the Stealth fighter and bomber, they are mental.Hypersonic is here.
Since when does the military care about financially viable?
***** Wow. Much respect for the huge reply. I was entirely joking with my previous comment, just so you're aware lol.
I wouldn't be surprised. SR-71 Blackbird was made in the early 1960's, and that plane flew at Mach 3.3, absolute speed record. An SR-71 pilot said it could fly in excess of Mach 3.5.
Remember...this was the early 1960's when the plane was made.
Fun fact, in January of 1960, the military ordered 12 A-12 aircraft. The A-12 is essentially the father of the SR-71. The maximum speed of the A-12 was Mach 3.2, just .1 Mach under the SR-71's absolute speed record belt.
We had this high-speed supersonic technology most likely developed to a degree just before the 1960's, lol. In its infancy, yeah, especially considering the aircraft's basics were being evaluated starting in 1957 when the CIA wanted another high-speed stealth spy plane. But the point stands.
Technology doesn't progress evenly, and we can't make exact predictions, but it has been *56+ years* since we first made Mach 3+ jets, and, IIRC, newer and more efficient propulsion systems are being researched all the time for anything needing propulsion to function in its proper role. NASA has the quite the load of concepts and prototypes when it comes to propulsion for instance. And of course...
The government and especially militaries are *always* hiding things from everyone using any methods they can without giving themselves away. Fibbing included. Lots of fibbing...
So I'm not gonna say Mach 8 Triangle UFO exists yet, but if it DOES, I wouldn't say I'm surprised.
While it's a nice fantasy to imagine that they carried on building and flying ultra fast jets after the Blackbird family, it's just not realistic.
Aside from the technological and metallurgical impossibilities mentioned by Mr Spookabunny, why would any nation carry on sinking insanely huge amounts of money into designing and building a system that they would have *zero* use for?
Why bother with a hypersonic spy plane when boring, mundane satellites can get you better pictures, in less time, without needing to put a pilot and / or airframe at risk?
There might be the odd occasion where they'd need overhead surveillance of a specific place, at a specific time, outside of the satellite's reach or timetable, but would it be worth keeping these fantasy jets flight ready, with the ludicrous amounts of maintenance and prep work they'd require, on a secret base staffed by secret (and expert) employees and guarded by secret soldiers?
Today, I think of things like the "Aurora" as being like Santa Claus - it'd be lovely if they were real, but unfortunately, dull and boring real life has no place for them.

We know now! Sr 72
It's Sr 72 successor to the sr71 twice the speed of the 71. It's amazing. 100 foot long. Looks alot like the 71 with big differences in aerial dynamics. Now you know about this one but you do not know about the new crafts that's classified. I know a little of the new projects that are in testing faze now. Those are so futuristic you wouldn't believe me. Wing shape change. Micro tubing to fix holes. Faster, lazers, can take off in water. Absolutely amazing. Sr72 is out already. Testing was done long ago
Could you tell how long this thing is flying? Is it from 90s?
Myself and 2 others who all together have about 80 yrs total in aviation spotted a unidentified craft about 1 yr ago. We guestimated it was 10 thousand agl and moving very quickly possibly approaching M1. What was eerie is it made no sound. At that alt and speed we were expecting to be boomed or at least hear a roar but nothing. Craft was not black but light color possibly white. Very streamlined, tear drop shaped with no vertical surfaces,tail,winglets etc. If our alt guess was close the craft was probably med sized approx f-15 sized. Also, my co pilot and I in the early 80s saw what we found out later was the B2 Stealth operating just S of Shaw AFB SC more than 5 years before it was made public. Very active MOA areas and high speed airways in my area.
An aircraft that has been flight capable (at least in the testing phase) since the early 90s, is still miles ahead of current public technology over a generation later, and has been classified to the point that it “doesn’t exist” for over 30 years
Thats one awfully well-kept secret, guys!
It’s a open secret at this point. I’d imagine this guy was talking about 1989 I’d imagine what ever is currently cutting edge currently is still very well hidden.
I think the big question here is. Is jims hair real.
Kek
that's not jim...it's janine!
no, she used to be jim... til the sonic boom got hold of his hair and turned him into janine.
i totally get it now!
It's fake and underneath is where the Aurora is hidden.
I've seen 'donuts on a rope' contrails before but assumed it was atmospheric distortion on the contrails. In San Antonio, just about a week ago there was a full moon and as I drove down the street, I saw a contrail and blinking lights on an aircraft. Although dark, I could see the object creating the contrail as a dot zooming across the sky at incredible speed. It must have been extremely high in the sky and the weird part is I heard no noise, even after I slowed down and pulled down the window to try finding it among the treetops.
Aurora seems to be a codename for a group of different projects. What we normally think of as Aurora seems to be something similar to the recently announced SR-72. In fact, I'm pretty certain it is the SR-72. But this umbrella project seems to include a bunch of drone programs. The RQ-3 seems to be involved, but things really start to get strange when we think about the TR3 Black Manta, and the even more mysterious TR3b Astra, The main thing that seems to unify all these projects though is that they are all fixed delta wing craft. They all have that triangular shape.
Which means that everything involved under this Aurora umbrella is likely the cause of most or all the triangular ufo sightings over the past 35 years
And low & behold Dark Star makes an appearance in new Top Gun film in 2022, USAF are clearly preparing the ground for a public release shortly. Clearly it has been flying for some time already. No surprise there.

No such plane exists and no way their gonna spend big money when their reason to retire the 71 was cost. This video is from the late 80s looks like.
hmmmm, I wonder if this was an disinformation thing then, dress up a plane and fly it over some royal observer people, hell it could have been made out of paper mashe and towed by one of the other aeroplanes, get the ruskies pumping money into things they dont need, make the world think youve got a superplane etc...... or maybe a 7000 mph plane would be useful, maybe its a 7000mph drone now
Maybe the Easter Bunny is real too. After almost 30 years of talk and still no bland looking "Aurora" it doesn't exist. A 7000 mph JET aircraft would burnup. This conversation is childish. We are closer to Cyborg technology than a 7000 mph jet.
I know an Air Force pilot who I believe flies one of these out of Pensacola of all places. He was a B1B pilot but his ultimate goal was to be an astronaut. When we last communicated a few years ago when asked what he is now flying he said it was top secret. All he would divulge was that the plane is quite small, flies really high and on really long missions. Also, he flies out of Pensacola which is a Navy base. I suppose he could take off directly over the Gulf of Mexico there without flying over land. I believe he is flying the SR 71 replacement. I bet whoever flies this will get their astronaut wings.
I do believe you are full of shit, as the men who do fly such aircraft are strictly black opts. This means they fly aircraft that does not exist, going to places that exist nowhere & fly missions that never was. And they do not talk about such with anyone, including you.
I remember hearing those sonic. Booms in the early 90s in southern California. It was every Thursday morning. And we already knew it was the Aurora project.
It’s existence has been declassified. RS-85.
My Grandfather worked for Lockheed Martin, he died years before I was born. It’s crazy to think that he probably had some part working on this and the SR-71
Why ain't anyone talking about the call sign 'Darkstar', this may be a stretch but think of Top gun Maverick the sr72 was nicknamed the Darkstar so is that a reference or something more🤔
It is! There´s rumours that the plane was actually used but is now being hidden in plain sight as a movie prop.
Simply thinking about its sound alone makes my hair stand. What an unbelievable machine, if it exists.
while I was stationed in Okinawa Japan In 1979 and 1980 the sr 71 was stationed at Karen's air force Base and we could see it from time to time so it couldn't have been that secret because Japanese civilians were on the base all the time and who knows what other people just off base could see it. so it wasn't that big of a secret at the time. the Russian properly even knew a lot of the specs of the jet because we were shown pictures of the jet when I got my top secret clearance to show us how vernable information was from the sky. Jane's publication was famous at the time for publishing information about top secret military hardware. In Okinawa Japan the Japanese civilians called it the habu after a snake on the island and could see it take off and land. it's very hard to hide something like that on such a small island such as Okinawa Japan.
Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey u.s.a.

It's not just one set of secrets like the speed of Blackbird, the phenomenonal photography capabilities , they saved so many untold lives with the information retrieved that all I can say is HABU to all the men who served in the Blackbird Pilots , maintenance men, in flight refueling ,yeah HABU and thanks you know who are.

I remember reading a book in my middle school library talking about the Aurora as a prototype hypersonic reconnaissance plane meant to replace the SR-71. Later read from various sources that it was probably discontinued sight of drones, X-37B, and satellites accomplishing more, conveniently, and without the need for speed or evasion.
if the Sr 91 was still here it would have been the most legendary fighter jet
I saw a contrail like that and something moving at insane speed over my house in Nova Scotia Canada years ago. No noise though. I am a retired aircraft engineer so I know it wasn’t a regular aircraft.
D A R K S T A R .
They've been flying hyper-sonics since the late 80's. At least 2 type are thought to have flown. One is the black arrowhead shape discussed in this video. The other looks like a flattened football; sometimes refered to as a pumpkin seed shape (this is the one with the PDW propulsion which leaves the donuts-on-a-rope contrail). An excellent animation of the aircraft is on UA-cam.
These are our best guesses of what's up there. What we don't have a clue about is the current status of these aircraft. Are one or both in operation? Were they just proposals which didn't go beyond the test program? One thing for sure; the hyper-sonics are hyper-secret, and will likely remain so for a very long time.

Call me crazy if you want, but I saw something triangular flying very high in the sky while visiting Orlando last year. It was moving in a straight line at a speed that I have no way of comparing to modern commercial or know. Military aircraft. It made no sound and left no contrail.
I would not have even seen it had it not been for a good friend of mine spotting it while looking up. It took a moment for me to find it in the sky but at about the time I did find it it was already well on its way to be long gone. I was amazed.
I have been associated with aviation since 1986 and have served in the military and still serve in the aviation community. What I saw I have never been able to identify or compare with modern aviation technology.
I have wondered if what I saw was the Aurora, or something else altogether. But I did see something and it was intelligently designed and under intelligent operation. I believe that It was not a meteor or other space debris nor anything naturally occurring in the world.
I know of someone who saw it years ago at their military base . At night , left runway and triple sonic booms shortly after
What base it was?
6:50 Anyone know where a copy of the audio sample of the Sr-91's engine they used can be found? That shit sounded tight.
I’m 18 I live in great falls Montana I always see these contrails over the sky we have had multiple ufo sightings in the area
saw this con trail over Tasmania 3 years ago- finally found an explanation
that guys douglas has single handedly produced half of all the photographic evidence that exists of the aurora project. I admire his determination and enthusiasm for the aurora project and aviation in general
Here is where call sign "Dark Star" comes from for top gun?
Obviously because it is
Been hearing about this for a least a decade. Different variations of the same story, any where in the world in 90 minutes. Was photographed by the Space shuttle and later by the international space station. One story had it docking with the station. One even said it orbited the moon. Every thing we "know" is a least 10 years out of date. Remember what we "knew" about" Stealth aircraft in the late 80's to the early 90's ?. The military didn't talk about one till one crashedm
Regarding the "doughnuts on a rope" images, it seems fairly compelling that this would be produced by some unique kind of propulsion system (e.g. a PDE) but this is not the case. Years ago, when flying model planes, I noticed that a standard passenger jet flew over head, leaving a typical looking contrail. About ten minutes later, I happened to look up (to watch some other model being flown) and noticed that the contrail had taken on the form of "doughnuts on a rope". So it was just some atmospheric phenomenon nothing special at all. I took a photograph of it and just checked it again today. It clearly matches the images in this video. I've no idea how it happens but it's just a normal occurrence.
I see them regularly. I think the wing tip vortices drift through the contrail and swirl it into regularly spaced ‘doughnuts’. You can see them all over and behind aircraft you are actually following to the same destination.
@@malcolmhodgson7540 Hey thanks for the response, I never thought about the tip vortices. Now you mention it, that sounds really plausible.
I think the Aurora is really the Convair KingFish that was designed in the late 1950's alongside the A12 oxcart. Plans were in place for it to fly at Mach 9 and the design was almost identical to the SR-91 AURORA depictions we see online except the cockpit was more angular. I bet they kept working on the KingFish until it became the Aurora.
That presenter certainly has mastered the gravelly voice effect. His vocal chords must be absolutely fried.
I saw it. 13 years ago above Prince Nevada. About 12,000 feet above the ground I think, slow, with 2 silver jets on either side. I made them to be T 38 but not at all sure. Heading north above clouds, I heard the strange sound, looked up, and saw this formation cross through an opening in the clouds. No contrails on the T 38s. donuts on a rope, mostly just dots, from the black triangle in the middle. Black plane just a bit longer than the T 38s. About the same "wing" span. Then the chase planes broke off left and right and the Black plane turned sharply left, west, and broke out a heavy contrail. Still with donuts. After a full 180 turn the chase planes came back into formation and the formation disappeared above the clouds. NO sonic boom, "slow" turn. Perhaps 400 MPH or less. But very sharp! Turning radius perhaps 1.5 miles. Then in about half an hour, they came back. Same maneuver same place.
We'll find out sooner or later. We almost always do.
I saw a very similar object 1 month ago in Rosario, Argentina.
I thought this was already out?? Yes, it's real, I found out in 1998 when I asked my air force buddy about "secrets". He said well, the Auroras amazing. Kinda like a F-117 and a SR-71 combined.
That's all he would tell me.
Lol yeah probably some airforce buddy who was a cook lol
The contrails are that of a pulse jet for sure, and they make a hell of a lot of go fast. I think it's real
it's exhaust trail has been photographed, years ago, by satelite, only something like the 'aurora' project could have made them
Regardless if its Aurora or not I would love to see a fully functioning pulse detonation engine in the air. Would be cool to see it on a redesigned Concorde.
farsensor operant an ordanery comuter jet will make trales like that i see them all the time
The con-trail I looked at went coast to coast and allegedly was made in 45 minutes. It's been a long time since I looked but whatever made the con trail had to be traveling 1000 mph or better.
Mike Ries if it was a pulse jet powered machine that no one has seen before, there is only one logical explanation. Colin Furze built it.
@@mikeries8549 "allededly"
It was 100% the Aurora, given the sightings, especially the sonic booms, Donuts on a Rope contrails, and the formation sighting and drawing by Chris Gibson, this was real and the US was indeed developing a new hypersonic, possibly stealth reconnaissance aircraft.
this is the us governments mouse cursor on the sky
I read an article in 1997 about the aurora. I have seen some really strange aircraft in our section of Virginia and we have Navy and Air force plans going over and doing flyovers through the mt.s where we live. Some could go over 10 miles in less than 10 sec. and not make a sonic boom! I am not the only one to see these planes. So we have some planes that are really our of this world.
Pulse propulsion is old hat,were beyond that,we're using electromagnetic field propulsion.
yup!! Tesla technology exists. resonate with the earths magnetic frequency and you levitate
+Fred Munao It's just that easy huh?
Only easy if you create quantum locking and build a superconductor magnetic field above the ground.
In 2000 I saw an object flying at an extremely high altitude and going faster than anything I'd ever seen. I watched it fly from horizon to horizon in less than 10 seconds and it left that donuts on a rope type trail.
Satellite? Or International Space Station?
space station doesn't leave a trail, plus its just a bright dot that you can see
Space junk re-entering and burning up. That's pretty cool. I'd like to se that.
I Saw 2 UFO FROM A LUNAR CRATER IN SE MOON CROSS 1/4 OF SKY IN 3/4 SEC...TO THE RIGHT, THEN STEP ON IT, TO THE LEFT, CROSS 1/4 SKY & GONE. BACK IN 68 nam.
30 Years of rumors about Aurora......... Please build this Shit finally!
+GibsonVienna Who's to say they haven't? The F-117 was classified for awhile from it's Have blue concept stages through to after it was in service.
+Stev Rex Seems pretty mf'kn effective to me bud.
Stev Rex I hope saving some semblance of dignity in spoken American English is not a lost cause, but Stev I fear it is.
they had these in the seventys ive heard stories of fly guys say they seen them flying higher n faster than they all black flying at unknown speed
They did. Old tech. 1990s. Supposedly hit 7000mph. I swear to god I saw one in 1991 at night. It was glowing from high heat after s high speed run and silent at about 20,000 ft.
I think it was coming down after a high speed run . Thought it was a UFO
My friends mom saw one of these triangle craft moving at insane speeds when she was a teen in the 80s. She thought it was a UFO
one day. i remember....i saw a weird triangle flying in the sky o.o ....well mybe was a experimental plane.....
So crazy now that Top Gun Maverick is out, the concept in this documentary was on unbelievably on point!
Probably a proto 7R-72.
+Calin Dahl Which part of that are you questioning exactly?
Calin Dahl Typo, thank you for finding it, I've had a long week.
I saw exactly this silhouette of over 10 aircraft, it was in one night in May 2018 over the island of Koh Samui, they flew fast in formation and silently from east to west. The sky was clear with moonlight which is why I recognized it very well.
Aurora is not an aircraft type, it's an entire program called Aurora!
Project Aurora SR-91 my God..!! That's the Bad Boy..!! You don't think we don't have a replacement for the SR-71.. Thank you Skunk Works.. (LOCKHEAD)
2.2 miles per second! Golly Gosh , this is awfully quick.
My brother got a picture of the same contrails on 12th January 2021. I've seen it and it is the same. The Aurora does exist!!!
This is one badass jet that I went and still am crazy for 🤪
It started in the late 80s, i was there , it was every Thursday, at 7 am ,
ok last post i swear... sooo any old people remember mico-machines? little vehicles from 80s & 90s. welp the x-87 Remora was one of my micro machines. and in spent.
4 years later I can garantee you the toy industry is one of the most reliable source of industrial espionage in the world. If you want to know the latest EAC shape, then visit a toy store.
When I heard the callsign “Darkstar” I got chills. 7:41
10 minutes of pure guess work... Great knowledge to forget always here.
Well you can hardly base it on facts can you
as in fiction?, a hola cost. hawian for pAS DA PIG.
This years black budget over $81.00 billion. Truth is beyond fiction.
Go ahead put your head back in the sand
Such an old doco, 25yrs later and the plane is STILL Top Secret !
God was this made 20 years ago
+Sean Monaghan F-111 retired in 98.
+Mike Mac The Australians still use it
Stephen Doggart
Not since 2010.
+Stephen Doggart Womera is like Area 51 is it? Or was that Pine Gap?
Development for the F-22 Raptor started in 1981. It takes decades for an aircraft to be operational
It's done and dusted, they are 100yrs ahead of anything you can imagine now.
I shot a photo in March of a high altitude object going way faster than a normal jet. The con trail looked similar to what this video shows and it was heading south west ( area 51 ). I was taking pics of the comet so I had my longest telephoto lens on 500mm. It will not let me post a link here :(
can u send it trough mail or something pls?
+HunHarcos sure I can try what is your email

We regularly hear a series of booms, east of Sacramento California.
They come in a series, one after he other.
Nearby bases used to have SR-71s, but we have been told it is the Sierra Army depot blowing up old munitions that generates the sound.
It's real... And mind-blowing!
yeah look at top gun mavric they named there secret plane darkstar and is triangular shaped
Can say no more.
I love the idea that "Aurora" was completely unrelated to any aerospace development but the public have made it into this fantastic super secretive aircraft that doesn't exist.
Even better if the skunk works staff were looking at these ideas going "we wish it was a flying aircraft".
Who knows?
Quite a few people out there will know exactly what the "aurora" was on the budget sheet, but even if they tell the world, people will doubt them.
It's been blown into something so large, only the extraordinary will suffice. "Oh, it was the entire Skunk works electricity bill" just won't cut the mustard with many.
Either way, we know from the 30 years following on from the early 90s that MANY black projects are actually unmanned aircraft or in the case of Boeing, many were space vehicles.
The Aurora may have even been the name for a ground prototype only and never actually flew.
Why would it NOT exist?
That's a convincing argument.
+Jimmy Jacksonian Uh... because it's almost physically impossible without a shitload of funding
+Sauron Merciful The USAF doesn't have to admit anything. Lockheed is developing the SR-72 so why all of this other bullshit? Why? Because some people are never happy unless they believe there is something "big" going on. I think it's two type of people:1. the kooks and it doesn't matter what you tell them because they will cling to anything that feeds that inner whatever, schizophrenia, schizo affective, life suck and they need something to displace the problems. 2. the people that hope or wish so fervently that there is a huge massive city deep underground somewhere (antartica?), or that the aliens are here and always have been helping us along, that enough alien craft have crashed and we are reverse engineering technology, ....I have a great imagination I could just keep going and going. Why does the government keep things secret? Really? You do understand how Stalin and thus Russia gained jet technology and nuclear technology right? After WW II we gave it to them in the spirit of friendship. Then they gave us the finger and dropped an iron curtain across europe. Why do we keep secrets? because people singularly (some of us) are greedy pieces of crap and quite willing to screw their country for profit. Why keep secrets? If the Existence of Vladimir Putin doesn't answer that question then you need to wake up.
Absolutely, that and much more. My brother told me of a small helicopter that flew silently that was used for reconnaissance in Vietnam. That has yet to be disclosed. I saw footage of a CH-53 helicopter doing a roll and loop in boot camp (Marines 1977) and that technology has been recently released. So who knows what special aircraft that are flying about. I'm not sure if they have an anti-gravity craft operational yet but there was a patent on it. All I could figure from it was you needed two opposing magnetic fields operating against each other for flight. It would have to have some powerful engines of some type to generate that much magnetic forces. Who knows maybe they do since some of UFO's seen have erratic movements. It would take quite of bit of skill to operate one like learning to drive a stick shift or motorcycle. With the computers we have today that problem may have been corrected. But I wonder if the magnetic forces would work in space?
+Konichi Wawa so you are paying for something and you dont think you have the right to know what that is ?
The call sign Dark star was most likely referring to the RQ-1 Dark Star prototype. I've read Bill Sweetman's book and I think I can recall him saying that the pulse detonating engine wouldn't work for the Aurora.
6:33 How was that possible? It's like saying I heard the shot..ran outside and saw the bullet going by lol
basimpsn
Mmm... maybe depends on the speed. He coulda ran outside and then saw it way off in the distant sky.
It has been seen over Auckland NewZealand in 2016, it amazes me they are still working on old technology
If it was real, it's at least 25 years old now. I'd expect it to have been declassified by now.
They've been flying stealth blimps since the late '60s. Have you seen one of those on TV lately?
I said the exact same thing to a guy I met that worked for NORAD in the 70s and 80s. His words to me were, "there are things the government has been doing since the 60s that are still classified"
They just started talking about the sr72 when was the last sr71 flight?
