There is buzz floating around that the US has top secret orbital bases (more than one) and black space planes fly to and from them regularly. Of course, UFO believers and unreliable sources perpetuate such
rumors, which would be great for deniability issues.
Is it impossible for such hugely expensive black projects to exist? Probably, but.…
Does the name Millenium Twain mean anything to anyone? He is probably spreading these rumors to bring web attention to himself and his own “out there” pet projects.
But, with the recent sightings of black silent triangles flying over Texas by dozens of eyewitnesses and the Air Forces tardy public explanations, who really knows what highly advanced top secret “toys” we have, right now?
Besides, a slow silent dark craft could just be a blimp with electric fans to move and steer with, and primarily be a distraction to throw the public off the trail of something much more secret.
We aren’t meant to know, then are we, so speculation is all we’ll ever have. National Security would always prevent disclosure of any such projects, even if they DON’T exist.

Hello, I’m a habitual reader of DefenseTech from Spain and first of all I want to congratulate you for your excellent job. Well, I write you beacause of the recent issue of the Blackstar and the whole lot of reactions it has provoked. I want to send you the direction of a web page you might found interesting (many critics have been directed towards the hypothetical propulsion system of blackstar and the gel-like boron fuel, and this page shows a possible alternative for a two-stage-to-orbit vehicle).The direction is http://www.andrews-space.com/content-main.php?subsection=MTA5 Thanks for your attention.

I actually don’t see why this is such an exotic idea. It’s already been recently done on a smaller scale, and in the privately funded civilian world at that.…..think Spaceship One (remember the winner of the X-prize).

I know if I say “airship”…that the first thought to come to mind is “blimp”. This instead: a very large, RIGID, framed in carbon fiber Lighter-than-Air craft.…can indeed reach extremely high altitude, just as stratospheric weather balloons are able to.…the only hinderment really is payload. So, launch Pegasus-like from this “mothership”.…orbit on demand, more or less.
When DARPA Walrus was first being touted, wording in the solicitation indicated that Pentagon was interested in development of “electrokinetic propulsion” for the airship. Doable, if the craft is big enough for unusual power source. (Like the “Aurora” slip of years back…this wording has been deleted from later writings from DARPA related to Walrus.)
NIDS has postulated on this possible craft. While a lot of that may be dismissed as typical “UFO” hype.….so was stealth technology some years ago.
I vote for this airship. Why? because it is relatively simple, has built in “UFO” deniability, and because it allows the first stage of an orbit on demand system to be somewhat passive.…let the actual missile/launch vehicle be the one with the most bugs to work out.…
Just a thought.…

AFAIK Black Horse/Black Colt were Mitchell Burnside Clapp’s ideas for a system of similar capability but operating by in-flight refuelling of the oxidizer after takeoff.
He seems to have been serious about wanting to build one way back when…

I’m thinking Black Horse/Black Colt = Black Star system. Yeah, I know the Black Horse/Colt aircraft were described as SSTO in nature, but I have a feeling that was disinfo.

Well let’s see here:
1)It’s Big
2)Expensive
3)On the verge of useless/inefficient
Yep the Pentagon would have it…
On a side note from what I have heard out of Northrop Grumman, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a hand in this.
