...And the UFOs ?
I wrote a book entitled, OVNIS et Armes Secr�tes Am�ricaines (UFOs and classified American weapons) where I show how the Americans, having recuperated a hypersonic shuttle in Roswell in 1947, laboriously rebuilt it. One of the results of this military research is the American hypersonic vessel Aurora, which can reach a speed of 10,000 Km/h at an altitude of 60 Kms.
What is the Aurora ?
It's the successor to the spy plane Blackbird SR-71. The Aurora is actually low orbit (80Kms) satellite, which can take off and land anywhere by its own means. The engine uses extensively MHD technology, which I introduced in 1977. In the book I will give all of the technical details. I'm not actually sure that my editor will accept publishing the book "in its current state", with the direct link between American hyper-technology and UFOs. I have the impression that "he's had enough". Nonetheless, all of this information comes from first-hand sources.

Get over Roswell. I have a relative who was the commanding officer there in the '50's. It is all bunk. The Aurora plane is outstanding. I don't know the specs., and if I did I would deny the project exists. I hear from a credible source (someone who maintains it) that it does between mach 8 and 10. What puzzles me is how a human can take that much stress. Of course Aurora exists. Do you think America would retire the SR-71 without a replacement? Satellites are too slow and are dependant on a non-cloudy day. SCRAM jets, nice.
