They were trying to being back an updated version of the XB-70 as a mother ship to a space plane.

A large "mothership," closely resembling the U.S. Air Force's historic XB-70 supersonic bomber, carries the orbital component conformally under its fuselage, accelerating to supersonic speeds at high altitude before dropping the spaceplane. The orbiter's engines fire and boost the vehicle into space. If mission requirements dictate, the spaceplane can either reach low Earth orbit or remain suborbital.

Don't you find it odd that debris was found 2 1/2 miles away?? The mere fact you're posting such information doesn't seem in the slightest bit odd to you?

Very cool, ULTIMA...and not too off-topic, in my opinon.
I like it, will come back to explore more....should have its own thread!!!

Well i have evidence that Flight 93 was intercepted.
Clearly conflicting the officail reports that no planes were near Flight 93.

If you are in the NSA you know the DNA reports from PA are correct, you also would know the FDR is real, making the shoot down impossible.
1. The DNA report has nothing to do with shoot down.
2. The FDR has nothing to do with shoot down.

What exactly was found 2 ½ miles away?

Do you support it only because the OS said it to be true?
Just think for a second what would be required to get parts from an allegedly intact aircraft up to the immediate point of impact, from that location to 2 1/2 miles away.
Remember also that all the parts are established in at least a 40° NOSE DOWN attitude at the time.
Think what energy would therefore be required, to get parts that far away, by BOUNCING THEM off the surfae of the Earth, at 40°.
Logic says it is complete BS.
The fact you support such a "theory" shows just how little you've thought about the OS side of the story.

The energy of impact is 1/2 the mass times the velocity squared. It is only like a 2000 pound bomb. Very big, and 10 to 15 times bigger than a low speed crash most of us are use to seeing.

@beachnut: before you get the wrong idea and think I just think that debris landed 2 1/2 miles away (and actually I thought it was a little over 1 mile away but there ya go...) I've seen documentaries on TV about Flight 93, and that debris was found over a mile away in the lake etc..
Now that isn't a CT - that is "official".
My point is exactly as you suggest - that's a lot of KE for 2 1/2 miles. If you look at who originally mentioned 2 1/2 miles, you will see it is our resident debunker.
So you know, I'm still very much on the fence with this (believe it or not). Answer my questions regarding things such as the tail and APU, and you'll start to get my attention, but as yet, there is nothing definitive.
As seems to have been ignored so far, Flight 93 would have had the impact energy commensurate with a Magnitude 4.0 or so earthquake.
Why is there absolutely no seismic record of this size magnitude event? There is a record, yes, but no-one is saying what Magnitude.

I think the engine was found near the other lake, the pond next to the impact area.

Like I said, my post further up keeps being ignored.
Further up this thread someone stated that one engine was found at the crash site, and the other some distance away. I heard in one documentary that it was found in the lake.
The fog of war isn't working with me...

Will neither of you look into PSA Flight 1771, in December 1987 ????
You are spreading false junk.
