how long was the blackbird flying about before the official unveiling? i believe there are a couple of interesting satellite photos that seem to show
the 'doughnut on a rope' contrail from the unique propulsion system it uses?? i think its called a pulse detonation engine although im not sure
about that bit!!

No time at all, the SR-71 was announced in July 1964 and flew in December of that year, even the A-12 had only been flying since 1962. The idea that
it was in service for many years before anyone knew it existed is a myth, the SR-71 was known about before it even flew.

That really holds no relevance to project unveiling. The SR-71 was unveiled before it even flew as Waynos has stated.
There is a very good chance that if the Aurora ever existed at all, it will never be de-classified.
Remember, they don't have to tell us about what doesn't exist.

In my opinion, the idea of "Black Manta" is more out of realm than Aurora, mainly because of it's description comparison to the B-2. I've never
heard Aurora under the designation TR-3B or A, only SR-75, and sometimes B-3.
Kinda makes me wonder what happened to the DL-500, or whatever it was called, I can't recall what it was...I'll have to see if I can find it to
refresh my member. The idea was that it was a hi-speed attack/strike aircraft designed to run on the PDWE system, I have heard comparisons between
that craft and Aurora many times as well, but as said, I don't know what the designation was or the like...maybe will go have a look back and see if
I can find out what it was actually called.
Edit:
It was the CL-400, code named Suntan...not sure about it. Thought it too sounded too far fetched.
It also looks like another story is that it was a mach 2.5 aircraft deisnged to replace the U-2...but I've never heard of the CL designation.......at
all.
Was said ideally to have been the early version of the SR-71 in 1959...but I can't see this as accurate.

CL is an internal designation of the design. The U-2 was the CL-282, the C-5 is the GL-500-13-7, etc. The company designation is usually nothing
close to the military designation.
