SECRET USAF ROBOT SPACE PLANE ENDS MISSION
Some months ago I blogged about the US Air Force's X-37-B robot space shuttle. By the time this blog actually appears, it seems that the secret robot-shuttle will have completely an incredible 453 days in orbit, according to Wired, and according to the same article, it is scheduled to begin another such mission in October:
After 15 Months in Orbit, Secret Space Plane Finally Returning to Earth
Now there are lots of speculations on what this craft is really for, and the article summarizes some of them:
"We still don’t know what the 29-foot-long X-37B has been doing up there. In the wake of the first X-37B mission, and with its pickup-bed-sized payload bay, analysts theorized it could be a commando transport, a bomber or an orbital spy. It could launch, repair or reposition U.S. satellites in low orbit. It could carry sensors. It could even sneak up and disable or steal enemy satellites.
"It could also just be a way to test technology in space, and do so cheaply, as the Air Force maintains. Though, a reusable — albeit unmanned — spacecraft shaped like an airplane can also be more expensive to launch and more difficult to maneuver than disposable spacecraft. The ambiguity surrounding the X-37B even sparked a minor space race last year as Russia and Chinathreatened to build similar vehicles."
Another excellent summary of possibilities is here:
What is interesting in the second article is the comment that the plane could function as a kind of scaled up, space-capable drone, given its long staying power in space, no mean feat in itself, as the author of the second article states. And of course, one article notes that amateur trackers who have watched the X-37B have noted unusual paths over North Korea, Afghanistan, and China, suggesting a possible espionage role(see U.S. Space Plane to Return from Secret Mission).
Then, finally, there's this curious picture of the X-37-B on the ground, with two people in biologiocal containment suits in front of the craft, suggesting still other, possibly darker, purposes:
Now all this places the wider theme of a "secret space" program into a rather interesting light, and indeed, Gary McKinnon's hacking case that is still going on in the USA and UK, into a very interesting light. What intrigues me here is the possibility that this craft represents, and the possibility - nay, I would venture to say, the probability - that we know about this craft at all because the US AIr Force wants us - and other nations - to know about it. And the thought induced inevitably is, what aren't they showing us....?
See you on the flip side.

First off this is my first time writing you I couldn’t find just a contact link so sorry for being off topic I’ve read a few of your books and they sure have been very enlightening I read babylons banksters which i think should be read in high school history but we both know that would never happen. I just finished nazi international. I have the cosmic war series and genes giants and monsters which i havent gotten to yet. I also havent gotten the the death star series yet but is there an order you suggest to read the books in since there are alot of back references to post books. and my second question is regards to babylons banksters and the buildings being radio comm towers I was looking at another old building that looks very interesting and was wondering if it was involved since it kind of represents a magnatron I think it is called Castel del Monte it looks very similar to some of the other building you have broken down into waveguides what do you think
Thank You for your time

Hi Brent…yes, the order of the publication of the books is the order I intended them to be read, but one can read them in any order, really, as there are essentially three series (1) ancient series (2) Nazi Series (3) bankster series, and they’re obviously all interconnected. But I did write the books in a peculiar order deliberately, to be read in a deliberate order.
and Queen plays…I am about to break free….good bye Barbarians,
