"If they actually release proof of the Aurora's existance, by then, the Aurora will be outdated."
Not necessarily so. The SR-71's existence was made public by President Johnson in 1964 who transposed the RS prefix to SR. So it was forever changed to SR-71. I still have the 1964 clippings about the thing and it obviously was in active service for long after.
lol, well this guys managed to get sum up close pictures. Theyve been checked and the aicraft isnt a computer image and the picture hasnt been pasted on but its a real photo. If he posts it ill give a link so you can see it, but their still runnign checks to see if the pics 100% real. So far its passed most of the tests

Now this I would like to see.
I am the Dragon Queen of the Azure Skies. My graceful flight inspires awe in all who see it.
Applying all logic here points to the fact that any close-up image would have had to have been taken by someone actually on the base where it flew from- Area 51 or where ever. Is this alluded to in any way?
No, they'd have to have a titanicly large lens to capture a recon craft like that that gained altitude over desolate, uninhabited territory and was at even medium altitude. At 25,000 feet even the details would be grainy as hell. A closeup photo is a shot taken while the plane is on the tarmac!
Besides, does anyone know the theory that the thing launches from a C-5 and is captured also to ingress/egress airfields in complete secret?

That might have been an actual shot of the Aurora. Or it could have been one of those new U.A.V.'s being developed.
It is possibly a mockup to keep us guessing. In world war two, the first US jet, the P-49 was fitted with a dummy propeller at all times when it was on the ground. No one knew what it really was.

That was the Bell P-59 Airacomet that had the fake prop. Remember when the B-2 finally came out to the light? There was lots of coverage about what it might look like when it was thought to exist. It was very similar to Popular Mechanics renderings in an article actually. I don't think that the pic is that of a UAV or UCAV due to the fact that they are more conventional in layout and the blob in the image is lifting body in shape.
