TR-3B ASTRA [Area 51 Build Challenge]
TR-3B ASTRA
The TR-3B "ASTRA" is a rumored black triangular anti-gravity craft developed by the USAF for reconnaissance purposes. The "black triangle" has been sighted globally, most notably during the "Belgian UFO wave" in 1989 and 1990. It's reported to silently hover, with 3 lights at the triangle corners (most likely thrusters) and 1 bright light at the center (probably some sort of reactor or generator). During the Belgian UFO Wave, 2 Belgian Air Force F-16s that were scrambled after the unidentified objects supposedly were able to get a radar lock, before the object out maneuvered the F-16's and zoomed out of sight in seconds. Since then there have been more of these Black Triangle sightings across the UK and US. It's possible the "black triangle" may be some kind of covert "stealth blimp", which could explain why it floats completely silent. Residents around Antelope Valley, CA also reported giant, silent black triangles floating in the sky at night during the 1990's. Antelope Valley is in the vicinity of Edwards AFB.

Kinda, instrument rating eating up my time again.
Yo buddy, still alive?
wow luv this thematik about unidentified aerial phenomena - "UAP"
looks great!
@DickBrazen
Oh cool! I think a lot of the silent hovering black triangle sightings are some type of stealth blimp. Although I'm open to the possibility they are some sort of anti-gravity vehicle like the Tic Tac (which I'm positive that thing employs some kind of anti-gravity). SE Oregon is pretty barren with lots of open semi-desert; Would make some pretty good testing grounds for aerospace projects. There's also a couple of Military Operation Areas in SE Oregon as well.
Someone have seen a UFO battle on CAMERA!!!!!
@Kimfri
Thanks!
@JohnnyBoythePilot lol
@QuickNils
Cause it came from Area 51
Why is this so much fun? lol
@JohnnyBoythePilot oh, that makes sense. I have a gyro saved to my subassemblies that has unbelievably huge power stats, and it shakes anything you put it on, so it essentially removes stability, rather than adding stability, lol.
@AWESOMENESS360
I think it's from the gyro. Let's just say the gravity generator can get unstable at times... This craft is more unstable than the Tic Tac.
Question: how come it jitters around so much?
The Forbidden Dorito
@JohnnyBoythePilot Interesting...

Thanks!
@TheFantasticTyphoon
That was the TR-3A "Black Manta", not the TR-3B "ASTRA". The thing is though, the F-117 already had sophisticated sensors to designate targets without a second aircraft, so I don't think the "TR-3A" was a flying laser-designator. Although something like the TR-3A Black Manta DEFINITELY exists, as flying-wing aircraft have been spotted over Texas and Kansas. It's either a tech demonstrator, a covert stealth bomber, or a recon aircraft.
Don't some people believe these were used as laser designators during the First Gulf War in support of F-117 Nighthawks?
@Weebness
Yea there's nothing I can really do about that.
Shakes a bit but other than that it's pretty good
@X4JB
My second entry!
