    Excellent! !!!!! Love the mystery that surrounds the aurora project. Still today there is always some kind of sighting. I'm sure it been shelved now as it was most likely an early test bed for scram jet tech. Can see similar stuff in the public domain with the nasa hyper x and so on. Either way this is gorgeous mate. Well done
