i found another site with what looks like aurora and it has a lot of pics they look old but it has some specs.

This thread may be two decades old, but the cited link is no longer active and there were NASA-sponsored design studies in the early 1990s for strike aircraft designed for speeds in the Mach 5 to 6 range that bore uncanny resemblance to images of the putative "Aurora" spyplane in having a tapered nose:

Regardless of the fact that the X-43 became the first air-breathing aircraft to reach hypersonic speeds when it achieved a speed of Mach 9.8 on its third and final flight in November 2004, the SR-72 proposal makes clear that not only was there never a hypersonic replacement for the SR-71 in operation in the 1990s, the USAF still has a role to play in funding studies of hypersonic military aircraft even as it has been historically aware of NASA being keen to put the technology of scramjet-powered, air-breathing hypersonic aircraft to the test in real world conditions. If the X-43B had been built, it might have been the first full-scale hypersonic scramjet-powered aircraft, but the X-51 now holds the honor of being the first air-breathing hypersonic aerospace vehicle to attain sustained flight greater than Mach 4.
