are there acually any rumours of an sr-75?
Fouch'e claims that he was working at Nellis Air Force Base in 1979 when he was told of a reassignment. He and 30 others boarded a blue bus with blacked out windows. Two guards armed with M16 rifles told them not to speak unless spoken to. When they got off the bus he realised he was at the Groom Lake facility. He says conditions were rather oppressive. He was issued heavy glasses, like welders' goggles, which had thick lenses that prevented him seeing further than 10 metres ahead, as well as blocking peripheral vision.
Security was so tight that he could not go anywhere, not even to the bathroom, without an armed guard at his side.
When the US military retired the SR-71 Blackbird back in 1990, it was stated that the aircraft would not be replaced because satellites would now do the job of spying. However, Fouch'e claims that the SR-75 has been designed to help the CIA/NSA satellites in orbit.
The SR-75 reportedly acts as a mothership from which the unmanned SR-74, or 'Scramp' is launched. The 'Scramp' is operated by remote control and is used to place small satellites in orbit and is said to be able to reach orbital altitudes of 151 kilometres and attain speeds of Mach 15, or just under 10,000 kmph

It'd be news to me...and likely to my father, who works for Lockheed on the Raptor in GA...hehe...
I'm going to quickly go with "bogus" on this one...

Their powersource is a nuclear reactor because it is the only powersource capable of powering these secret crafts without the use of fuel of some sort. In hence it can go on forever!!! The only problem is that the pilots flying these aircrafts would be exposed to radiation which can pose as a serious risk to them. Pilots can only withstand up to 4 gs of force, anything more than that would kill them.
