FOX News: Secret spaceplane returns to Earth sending sonic booms across Florida
People throughout Central Florida heard the rumble of the sonic booms Saturday.
At first a mystery, the booms were caused by the X-37B space plane returning to Earth, landing on the old space shuttle runway at Kennedy Space Center. The landing marks the end of a more than 900-day spaceflight.
The sound of sonic booms across Central Florida marked the return to Earth of Boeing's X-37B, an autonomous spaceplane returning after more than 900 days in space on a U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force mission.
People from Cape Canaveral and as far inland as Orlando heard the rumble of the sonic booms about 5 a.m. Saturday. At first a mystery, the U.S. Space Force confirms the booms were caused by the X-37B spaceplane returning to Earth, landing on the old space shuttle runway – now called Launch and Landing Facility – at Kennedy Space Center.

Did the space plane find the RED WAVE?
I'm still looking for it.
Some in the party are ready to declare it so. David Urban, a longtime Trump ally, told the Washington Post: “It is clear the center of gravity of the Republican party is in the state of Florida, and I don’t mean Mar-a-Lago.”
If such a shift has taken place, it did so gradually, then suddenly. Since he descended an escalator at his New York headquarters in June 2015, Trump has dominated and defined the Republican party, crushing rivals in the Republican primary then eking out a victory over Hillary Clinton to seize the White House.
But the party of Trump suffered drubbings at the ballot box in 2018 and 2020. And despite forecasts of a “red wave” in 2022, it fell short again.
You should get your own blog, Brother.
This space is reserved for positive comments regarding one of the most amazing vessels ever created by the hand of Man, the X-37.
you are right. Could you tell us then what this amazing vessel was doing all that time.
I'm sorry, that information is available only on a need-to-know basis.
Can it release smart pebbles?
Does it carry cans of smart pebbles?
We should give this to Ukraine.
