Shocked by US secret aircraft

A US Air Force top secret drones have quietly "stayed" in space for a year, the last three days - but no one knows what its purpose and mission is.

Things are more mysterious, when inherently, this plane only plan to fly in space for 9 months only. It has swam around the Earth at speeds of up to 17,000 miles per hour and should have landed in California last December.

According to DailyMail , the mission of the X-37B test aircraft has been extended without anyone knowing the reason. The X-37B is shaped like a mini space shuttle and is the second test aircraft to be launched in space. Before it, another unmanned aircraft landed at Vandenberg Air Force Base (Canada) in December 2010 after seven months in orbit.

The US Air Force said its second mission was to 'test out more technology' , but its ultimate goal was still a mystery.

Some believe that the true mission of the X-37B is to serve as a defense or reconnaissance, especially when some amateur astronomers observe the first X-37B orbit flying over the People's Republic of China North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. There are rumors, too, that the X-37B is retained in space in order to guard the new Chinese space station. However, experts point out that monitoring is not easy, because the aircraft moves at super-fast speeds up to thousands of meters per second.

And as Brian Weeden of the BBC Secure World says, if the US really wants to see the Celestial Archer, they have the means to do so without the X-37B.

Weeden favors the hypothesis that the US Air Force only wants to test its effectiveness in using X-37B fuel and maintain it in space as long as possible to show its performance, protecting it from being cut off. reduce budget.
