19Forty-Five: SR-91 Aurora: Mach 5 Hypersonic Spy Plane Or Myth?
In the 1980s an idea was conceived by military planners to develop a hypersonic spy plane that could reach Mach 5+, making it truly the fastest manned aircraft ever to fly. While there have been reported sightings of the prototypes, the SR-91 Aurora, if it even existed, likely never made it much best the concept stage.

WNU Editor: It is very hard to keep a secret in today's world. If the SR-91 Aurora spy plane exists, it would have been exposed a long time ago. As for the concept of such a spy plane. I have to give credit where credit is due. Those planners in the 1980s were very imaginative on what to develop and build.

Their goal was freedom, and they were driven by human spirit. With purpose and dedication. Our God and end goal seems to be material all too often these days. Hard to get an engineer or designer or whatever dreaming on just a salary alone.. that might also help explain the perceived decline of the West. People have bought into the myth that there's nothing worth fighting for and even if people fight it seems to be all about money. And the media purposefully dulls our wit and spirit.
Well, fear not, WNU. New, glorious designs will be upon us soon, as we once again replace material goals with ethereal ones. If that however will be a good thing, is entirely dependent on which side you'll be on. ;)
But they didnt imagine the easy of hacking such a spycraft, with an AI spynet the future will so surely have. These are mere assets to very notorius players in the cyber realm. Reality is these can only operate for a very short span of time, because of there capability.
