There was never any "Col Steve Wilson", that was just some made up name by someone writing this utter fiction. As as people started asking for proof about this person, "Steve" just all of a sudden mysteriously dies.
You can file that in the Dulce, TR-3 nonsense bin
The TAW-50 is armed with its own Kill Laser system, which
can track and immolate SAM (Surface-to-Air missiles), STTA
(Surface-To-Trans-Atmosphere missiles), ATA (Air-To-Air
missiles), and ATTA (Air-To-Trans-Air missiles). The
TAW-50's killer lasers can also knock down high-performance
fighter interceptors.

HOAX
if it is as good as it claims then it must be extremely expensive. im thinking in the 100's of billions at the very least so 20 and even the us cant afford that. however if we assume that the us can afford them for a moment then if they have been in service since 2002 then why havent we seen them in action. why havent there been any reports of it in iraq?
However this leak is so crazy that maybe it is true. surely nobody in their right minds would make up a hoax as unbelievable as this.

If this aircraft is as fast as they say it is why would it need ANY defencive weapons.
The SR71 never needed any defensive weapons as it out ran any anti aircraft weapons out there.
What country has mach 50 surface to air or air to air weapons or mach 50 interceptors for it to need defensive weapons.
To make it a point for other countries (after they get into war with the u.s) not to f*ck with us and you wish you had us for an ally
I put this story in the Tall Tales class with Pecos Bill, and Paul Bunyan,
I won't call it a hoax because likely it was not told as fact but as a Tall Tale.edit on 26-4-2011 by ANNED because: (no reason given)
