Maybe it's just perspective, but look how fricking huge it looks compared to the blackbird.

1. The Aurora - I'm still up in the air on this one
2. X-37B
3. RQ-180 UAV
4. Backstar
5. Stealth Blackhawk
This has to be the biggest pile of garbage I've seen in a while about so called secret military aircraft.
Aurora - no such aircraft exists and is all based on a bunch of hypothetical articles.
X-37B - was a demonstration platform only and never saw any actual production
RQ-180 - Pretty sure they mean the RQ-170 Sentinel. The RQ-170 is an actual UAV in service today and is by no means top secret.
Backstar - as previously mentioned, that's the XB-70 that never went into production because of its extreme costs and limited capacity.
Stealth Blackhawk - Too much is made of this because of the Bin Laden raid. Not a totally new helo. Just a few modifications done to a normal Blackhawk to reduce it's radar cross section and noise signature.

The backstar is a valkyrie xb-70
I came here to post this also. The Valkyrie was a flying prototype but then high-altitude antiaircraft missiles became effective, so the plane was cancelled.

Um, the the x37b is in orbit right now. And has been for almost 2 years. It's the forth flight invalmost a decade
It's an Air Force classified vehicle currently in low orbit.

I've always thought the Phantom was one of the most badass looking flying instruments ever to be built.
You'd have to be a granola munching, limp-wristed hippy to not get a raging freedom boner from the the F-4.

I've heard they will take away your pension if you ever let the "cat out of the bag" but I've never heard they will give you money for shillin' baw.
For OT redemption - Can you shill on the cigar shaped craft seen all over the world since the 60's even been captured in a live news broadcast? Seems it can go in and out of water, hangs out in Antarctica, has invisibility cloaking and it has very cool propulsion as seen in IR camera thx to Chilean Navy helicopter on 11/11/14. Do tell us more about that mystery airframe and its purpose.
As for the Aurora = TR3b its well documented since the 80's especially in NYS, friends from rural Westchester county still remember that beast on approach. Coast to coast crew might like this old vid- LINK
We can agree the rest of the list is meh. There are numerous X-37b's but no one has come up with mission objectives except cheap reusable space vehicle. I assume it can service SATs(or kill them) and holds rods of god weapons payload if desired. a rod is prolly headed to my house now just for being genuinely curious

Just a hunch, but I'm guessing you never watched the Austin Powers movies.

the spy that shagged me was tough to get thru... nevertheless fun thread for the military baws, might as well add the tinfoil hat crowd too if you doing semi-secrets of the MIC.
Here's the one time in 8 yrs Obummer seemed kinda alright- LINK discussing Aliens with Kimmel no less.
Trump seems to be falling in line- TPP, NAFTA, NATO and Obamacare all going to be scrapped once in office was the plan. Has he changed his mind?
