Hi All,
|
|
As a follow-up to Beth's article, the following is an
|
|
article from the August 1992 issue of Popular Science, page
|
|
22:
|
|
WHAT HYPERSONIC AIRPLANE?
|
|
Something (in italics) very strange is flying around at
|
|
terrific speeds. Although no one has managed to -------->
|
|
photograph the craft itself, its radar image, unique exhaust
|
|
contrail, engine sound, and sonic boom have all been
|
|
characterized in multiple reports by observers in the
|
|
Western United States and Great Britain. Yet, questions
|
|
directed to the prime suspect in mystery-plane cases - the
|
|
U.S. Air Force - yield only denials of any knowledge.
|
|
|
|
The aircraft, betraying its shadowy presence may be a high-
|
|
altitude hypersonic spy plane code-named "Aurora" that's
|
|
presumed to have replaced the retired SR-71 Blackbird (see
|
|
"Revealed! Mach 5 Spy Plane," Nov. 88). On five occasions->
|
|
since June 1991, the U.S. Geological Survey's extensive
|
|
network of earthquake-monitoring seismographs in Southern
|
|
California has recorded window-rattling sonic booms produced
|
|
by an airplane traveling northeast at several times the
|
|
speed of sound.
|
|
|
|
The booms have all occurred on Thursdays at about 7:00 a.m.,
|
|
says U.S. Geological Survey seismologist James J. Mori at
|
|
the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. "We call
|
|
them airquakes," he says. "This mystery plane has a
|
|
distinctly different sonic-boom waveform than other large-->
|
|
supersonic aircraft like the space shuttle and the SR-71.
|
|
"We track it because people have been calling us wanting to
|
|
know if there's been an earthquake."
|
|
|
|
Many observers in several states have reported hearing very
|
|
loud, deep rumbling and pulsating sounds coming from an
|
|
aircraft moving at high speed. An aircraft emitting these
|
|
sounds was spotted this past February taking off at night
|
|
from Beale Air Force Base near Sacramento, Calif. Its
|
|
propulsion system may be a pulse detonation wave engine - a
|
|
known type that develops thrust in intermittent bursts, --->
|
|
rather than continuously - according to reports in the trade
|
|
journal Aviation Week & Space Technology.
|
|
|
|
Bill Sweetman, an ecpert on classified "Black" military
|
|
PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 10/04/92 7:30 PM
|
|
|
|
programs, suggests in Jane's Defense Weekly that the
|
|
aircraft may be capable of reaching Mach 6 (4000 mph)
|
|
burning liquid methane or hydrogen fuel. He believes the
|
|
plane is returning from hypersonic (greater than Mach 5)
|
|
flights over the Pacific Ocean and decelerating over the Los
|
|
Angeles area as it heads northeast for a landing at the
|
|
highly classified flight test base at Groom Lake, Nevada.-->
|
|
Sweetman reports that a Royal Air Force air traffic
|
|
controller tracked an aircraft leaving the remote NATO-RAF
|
|
base at Machrihanish in western Scotland last November at a
|
|
speed of Mach 3. No acknowledged aircraft capable of such
|
|
speed is based there.

Call it Aurora, the mystery plane, or whatever. The ultra
|
|
fast, groundshaking high flyer may be one of the latest --->
|
|
in the long line of exotic aircraft that have resulted from
|
|
Lockheed Corp.'s fabled Skunk Works. Financial analysts
|
|
note that the company's budget and work force can only be
|
|
fully acconted for by one or more substancial black programs
|
|
secretly funded by the Pentagon - and perhaps the
|
|
intelligence services.

are two photographs of the contrail of this aircraft and a

seismic profile chart.
