Mysterious aircraft rumors America deployed space weapons

The X-37B space flight is one of the most secret missions ever conducted by the US since World War II.

The mysterious X-37B plane on 7 May first landed in Florida, USA after setting a record of 718 days in orbit. The US Air Force said the X-37B was developed to test space reuse technology , but its record-breaking long-time space raised the hypothesis that X-37B was a weapon. US secret gas, according to Sun.

The X-37B project was launched in 1999 by the US Aerospace Agency (NASA), then transferred to the Advanced Defense Projects Research Agency (DARPA) of the US Department of Defense in 2003. The first X-37B was first launched in 2006.

After being transferred to DARPA, X-37B became a secret project, all of its details were absolutely confidential, its missions were never publicly disclosed.

Rumor has it that this is the first step in US military space planning. The X-37B can be deployed as a space-based weapon, designed to destroy enemy satellites. It could also become a launch pad to bomb or a kinetic weapon to any location on Earth.

In 2010, a number of amateur astronomers claimed to have found a clue that this type of space plane is conducting reconnaissance operations, when it detects that it flies over the same area at a frequency of every 4 days. , features commonly found in US reconnaissance satellites.

In 2015, Global Security identified the main purpose of the X-37B as tracking China, putting its leadership at a disadvantage, but giving no evidence to prove it.

The Pentagon rejected these hypotheses, but was also very quiet about X-37B. However, Gary E. Payton, Air Force Vice-Minister for space programs, once said that the X-37B "was not capable of attacking", but did not explain it more clearly.
