The Aurora is something of an enigma since the American government refuses to acknowledge that it actually exists. There are many reports however to suggest that this secret military aircraft with capabilities beyond those previously documented for a recognised aircraft does indeed exist and has been subject to a government cover up ever since it's creation.

It was back in the late 1980s and early 1990s that rumour and speculation arose regarding the development of a top-secret reconnaissance aircraft, capable of flying at speeds beyond Mach 6. The media quickly caught onto the rumours and stories were published in mainstream papers such as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Jane's Defence Weekly, and Aviation Week & Space Technology.

The source of the name can be traced to a Pentagon budget request from 1985 underneath reconnaissance programs of the SR-71 and U-2. It's commonly believed that is inclusion was inadvertent and that this name had not been published in any other document prior to this. Safe to say that this faux pas cost somebody an important position in US government.

Over the years since the rumours of its being surfaced there have been scores of unidentified aircraft reports worldwide that experts claim was the Aurora. In 1989 there was a sighting from a North Sea Oil Platform. A few years later between 1991 and 92, witnesses claimed to have heard sonic booms over Southern California that experts claimed couldn't have been made by any other aircraft under licensed production at that time.

Since no hard undeniable evidence exists regarding the existence of the plane, the US government has always remained strong in its total denial of the creation of a 'superplane' of this nature. Whatever the fact and whatever the fiction many books have been written and websites created to attempt to address the question as to whether the Aurora is real or indeed just a figment of some over active imaginations.
