Secret US space plane orbiting Earth for 500 days shrouded in mystery
Published 11th October 2016
A NASA space plane has been in Earth’s orbit for over 500 days, but nobody knows what its top secret mission is.
The US Air Force’s Boeing X-37B left our planet on May 20 last year under a secretive programme. But neither the reason for the mission or the length of the space mission have been released to the public. This is the fourth secret mission launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida, using a Atlas V rocket to get the plane in space.
The US military have even refused to reveal where the craft will land. Experts predict that it will land where all the previous missions have ended – in the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
The secretive nature of the mission has sent people into over-drive wondering what the craft might be up to above our heads. Conspiracy theorists have a number of ideas what the mysterious craft is up to in space.
1. It could be a space weapon used to capture or destroy other satellites in orbit, similar to Blofeld’s rocket in You Only Live Twice.
2. It could be used to drop high altitude bombs on unsuspecting countries.
3. It might be a surveillance craft which deposits mini satellites in the sky.
4. The space plane might be part of the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Programme (HAARP), which could be used to cause earthquakes and climate chaos.
The last theory is the most outlandish, and suggests that the HAARP programme might be able to engineer seismic events and influence weather.
HAARP was commissioned to research the ionosphere layer of Earth’s atmosphere which is full with electrons.
