US Air Force's Secretive X-37B
Any thoughts or idle speculation from some of our knowledgeable members on the nature of this long secret mission?

Wild speculation of course on my part.
Russia has one, and so does China.
Some of you may recall a group of UFO sightings
a couple of years ago. These involved what was
the bow shock of each of these craft
as they were illuminated by the Sun.
This happened in each of the respected countries.
One after another, all within 6 months of one another.
Now Imagine an orbiter you can pull up along side
another satellite with and manipulate whatever you like.
Push it slightly off its path, pull a few solar panels apart, etc.
and that's just the manhandling capabilities .
Ah, Speculation ..

Has anyone been able to track this thing? Who's to say it is still in LEO?
