-Here is the relevant portion of the article mentioned by John Lear inthe ParaNet.Alpha Ufology message section of 1/16/88.It is excerpted
from the Feb. 88 issue of "GUNG-HO" (chinese for "worktogether"). It bills itself as, "The Magazine For The InternationalMilitary Man". The
article is entitled, "Stealth and Beyond". It iswritten by "Al Frickey", believed to be a pseudonym in order toprotect his identity.

e "Unfunded Opportunities" (UFO) During this article, the Mach 3-plus (2,000 mph), SR-71 Blackbird hasbeen referred to for comparison sev

ral times. The SR first flew about25 years ago. Twenty years or so before that, the hottest thing in theair was the 450 mph P-51 Mustang. T
o
day, there is Aurora, the codename given to a methane-powered, hypersonic, strategic-reconnais-sance aircraft capable of Mach 7 (5,000 mph)
speed in the 250,000foot regime. Aurora has a three-man crew and has been operational sincethe mid-1980s, after a testing period in the Nel
l
is Range. It is refueledafter conventional takeoff by a specially rigged KC-135Q tanker jet, andcan fly from Nellis to Kadena Air Force Bas
e
in Japan in less than twoand a half hours. Aurora first came to public attention in 1985, when an unclassifiedprocurement document discl
o
sed its existence. Disclosure heightenedspeculation that the system was a stealth fighter or bomber, and pro-gram managers were happy to pl
a
y along. Aurora's budget increase from$80 million in FY 86 to $2.3 billion in FY 87 was unprecedented, giventhat: (a) black-project budget
f
igures are normally withheld; and(b) $80 million is very little for development, and $2.3 billion is alot for operations. As for "UnFunde
d
Opportunities," these are programs dealing withtechnology levels so advanced that one Air Force officer involved inSR-71 development said:
"We are flight-testing vehicles that defydescription. To compare them conceptually to the SR-71 would be likecomparing Leonardo da Vinci's
p
arachute design to the space shuttle." Other officers are similarily emphatic about the nature of thesenew systems. "We have things tha
t
are so far beyond the comphrehension of theaverage aviation authority as to be really alien to our way of thinking,"says one retired colon
e
l. Rumour has it some of these systems involve force-field technology,gravity-drive systems, and "flying saucer" designs. Rumour further
h
asit that these designs are not necessarily of Earth human origin - but ofwho might have designed them or helped us to do it, there is les
s
talk. "Let's just put it this way," explained one retired Lockheed engineer."We have things flying in the Nevada desert that would make
G
eorgeLucas drool." (Editor's note and conclusion: The Air Force has had a unit atNellis for several years; its name: Alien Technology Cen
t
er. Thefirst question is, do you think they are studying Mexicans? The center is rumored to have obtained alien ( not earth )equipment an

, at times personnel to help develop our newaircraft star wars weaponry, etc. Yes, I know I sound crazy,but the rumour is aufully solid! Th
e
Alien Technology Center isfor real. Something remarkable has caused the Russians to suddenly want to play ball, and I personally believe t
h
is couldbe it. Sure, it sounds strange, but the most advanced knownairplane in today's world (SR-71) was secretly flying in 1963-64.Do yo
really think our best, 23 years later, is the F-16?) END Opportunities" (UFO) During this article, the
