Do Black Budget Trillions Support A Secret American Space Program?

This report, authored by Linda Moulton Howe, explores the possibility that missing trillions in Pentagon funding are being utilized to support a secret American space program. The document draws a connection between a statement made by then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on September 10, 2001, regarding $2.3 trillion in unaccounted transactions, and historical claims of advanced, classified aerospace technology. The report references a specific incident on November 12, 1988, at Norton Air Force Base in California. According to aerospace researcher Michael Schratt, a diamond-shaped 'lifting body' was tested at the base. Schratt alleges that U.S. Senator Alan Cranston and Congressman George Brown Jr. were present for a demonstration of the F-117A, which allegedly served as a cover for an exhibit intended to garner support for black budget aerospace programs. An anonymous engineer claimed to have witnessed a football-sized, diamond-shaped craft covered in thermal tiles similar to those used on the Space Shuttle. This craft was described as an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of launching nuclear missiles. The document also references a 1997 Jane's Intelligence Briefing regarding an 'aero-diamond' craft with an aerospike engine capable of reaching Mach 14, further suggesting the existence of highly advanced, non-public aerospace capabilities.
