Is this the Aurora

I know what your all thinking *another* aurora, but check it out
Aurora

The Photo's called "Scotland2002" i cant actually think of a reason why it would be in scotland... if anyone knows please dont hesitate to tell me!

cool pic this will go in the aurora aircraft research project i will credit you with finding the pic

looks like a kite....do auroras run on jet engines???? if yes then you should see trails from the engines

good point it does look like a kite but jet engines do not always have contrails contrails are caused by condensation and a bunch of other crap sometimes u will see contrails sometimes not

why the heck would they want to waste soo much time on the aurora and at the same time make the raptor....damn they are speding OUR money to make those aurora crap that is never going to be in service till we die.....damn i wanna nuke all those secret air bases

Looks like it has been photoshoped to me.

It looks fake to me. Usually some sort of ID of an engine would be present... some distortion.

Also, CM... shut it... the Aurora Project was waaaaaay before the Raptor. We don't even know if it exists (IMO it does) and if it did, if it's in service or not.

The "Aurora" name on a budget paper that started this all hypersonic plane stuff was acually an early codename for the b-2

Anyone got any ideas why it'd be over scotland??? Thats assuming it is the photo name?!

cookie monster that was one of the most idiotic things i ahve heard someone say, and yes i have heard aurora was a b-2 codename on sites but i have never seen confirmation the site wont let me post the pic and i cant link this thread without deleting my post

The head of Skunk Works said that he believed that "Aurora" name was a codename for Northrop's B-2. Now even during a cover up a companywill NEVER say that its product was by another company, so it is very believable.

The aurora would be in Scotland refueling to go back to the US after flying across Russia, a circular trip round the world westwards. Scotland has the most remote airbases in the UK, and the lowest populations density, so with the UK being the US's closest ally, it would seem the place to refuel.

Ah cool, never thought of it that way. Had this image of them making the Aurora in Scotland and not US for a moment, i think im going insane

I dont know maybe it could be...

Yeah, i aggree lots of Hills and valleys, plenty of places to hide a secret millitaty insallation, anyone aggree?

I think people from Scotland have enough problems with the Loch Ness Monster (excellent roller coaster by the way) and Aurora would only worsten things

It's a fake, it looks waaay to fake. Even with a high quality camera, the plane would still be traveling too fast to get no distrotion, unless it's the kind the Air Force use.

I also doubt an aircraft like the Aurora would cruise by at 200 mph for someone to get a good look and a nice snap shot of it.

Thats unless it is really a UFO?? Thats what i was lookin at on the site when i came accross that pic.

The image has moved to here:
www.unexplained-mysteries.com...

Looks like a kid's kite to me. I blew it up and increased the brightness and it looks like a batman logo (orangish red and yellow) on the kite also.

That is definetly not the aurora because the Aurora would not be shaped that way, it would be less of a wing span, not so stubby(larger length) and it would be pure black, not to mention flying at that altitude would be illogical.

Shattered OUT...
