It was recently reported than on 27 September 1995 David Morris of Walsall, Cornwall UK took a picture of a triangular shaped plane being refueled by a KC-135, and flanked by a pair of F-111s. The unknown aircraft appeared to be about three-quarters the size of the KC-135
It was recently reported than on 27 September 1995 David Morris of Walsall, Cornwall UK took a picture of a triangular shaped plane being refueled by a KC-135, and flanked by a pair of F-111s. The unknown aircraft appeared to be about three-quarters the size of the KC-135. This picture has been widely distributed. However, the "refuelling" picture is a hoax -- it was montaged by Bill Rose for the October 1995 issue of Astronomy Now (UK) magazine. There, it is captioned "A simulation of the refuelling of the top secret 'Aurora'. Photo composition by Bill Rose

4. The only escort they would have for this plane would be another Aurora. If this plane is so classified that no one has seen it, they're not going to be flying other planes anywhere near the tanker when it's refueling one.

Yah, I know that, but this picture was over the UK, which would have made it an operational flight. They don't use chase planes of any sort on operational flights. . .

Getting back to the subject, something does exist. Like I said, it might be something else. So I have one question, is the Aurora just a spy plane, or is it also a bomber (that is assuming that the project really does exist. Which I believe that it does!)?

Well yes, something called Aurora did exist, it was on that budget (even though no one can find a copy of it). The official explanation was that it was a project related to the B-2. Except for that no one knows whether its recon or a bomber, hypersonic or subsonic, everything else is speculation.

Is there anyone that would of seen the document before it was pulled from the public etc or was it a public document that should be at washington? Good questions I think that don't get brought up enough. Its the document that the story rests on and no one seems to find it. Not saying it never existed its just that a document like that would of been hard to destory every copy.
