The U.S. Air Force's robotic X-37B space plane has quietly passed the
five-month mark on its latest secret mission in Earth orbit.
The X-37B looks a bit like a miniature space shuttle. The vehicle is 29 feet (8.8 meters) long and 15 feet (4.5 m) wide.
Flights of the spacecraft are conducted under the auspices of the Air Force’s Rapid Capabilities Office, an organization that performs risk reduction, experimentation and concept-of-operations development for reusable space vehicle technologies.
Air Force historical records may yield clues about how OTV missions could help support some of the squadron's duties.
The 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron is identified as one of two Deep Space Tracking System squadrons located throughout the world.
These groups are asked to keep sensor eyes on objects orbiting high above Earth, with agencies using this information for everything from collision avoidance to intelligence-gathering purposes.
This revealed to some people, that X37 B secret mission is in fact to study and
keep an eye on a object orbiting high above Earth designated The Black Night.
In 1953, four years before the U.S.S.R. launched Sputnik I, a the blip of unknown origin was sighted by Dr Lincoln La Paz of the University of New Mexico. As more reports of sightings trickled in from around the world, the U.S. Department of Defense appointed distinguished astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh to run a search for the mystery object.
He had discovered Pluto in 1930. The blip became known as black knight.
In March of 1960, the mysterious satellite was seen again . This mystery satellite was in polar orbit feat that neither the US nor Russian were capable of at that time.
The soviet satellites were inclined at 65 degree angle with the equator. It was calculated that the weight object to about 15 tons, which is far too heavy for rocket of that era.
It also traveled twice as fast as any known satellite at the time. The object was sighted and studied by many of the astronomers across the country.
This is what Robert L. Johnson, director of the Adler Planetarium had to say about the object,
“ ‘THE OBJECT,’ JUDSON SAID, ‘DOESN’T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO MAINTAIN A REGULAR SCHEDULE,LIKE ANY OTHER HEAVENLY OR MAN MADE OBJECT HE’S EVER SEEN.’ ‘WE DON’T KNOW WHEN TO WATCH FOR IT.’ he says.”
It appears some nights, and some nights it doesn’t.
The military attached so much importance to this mystery satellite that they created special committee to gather information and study the mystery satellite.
The committee’s findings were kept secret and the sightings were forgotten.
More recently shuttle mission STS-88 launched on December 4 , 1998 took a series of photos that show what NASA called space debries, but there are many who doubt the official version. For many those photos shows the Black Night.
Can this be X-37 B secret mission?

I saw many photos of STS 88 those photos are no longer available on NASA website ..i wounder why...
ReplyDeleteThat would explaind why his is highly manouverable! to follow target
