Revealed: How America's secret space plane has been in orbit for over a year - and no one knows what it's doing
By Ted Thornhill , Daily Mail, British paper



The U.S Air Force’s highly secret unmanned space plane was supposed to stay in space for nine months, but it’s now been there for a year and three days – and no one knows what it’s doing.


The experimental craft has been circling Earth at 17,000 miles per hour and was due to land in California in December.


However the mission of the X-37B orbital test vehicle was extended – for unknown reasons.

The plane resembles a mini space shuttle and is the second to fly in space.  (VN: The first one went up the day before the gulf blow out that experienced a 30 minute electronic failure of all systems on the rig, before the actual blow out occurred.  The mission was to test top secret military weapons, "Lasers?", did they blow  out the rig?  We had a video showing it did and Tru Ott saw the video and also used it in his blog that we put up on our site.  The video was gutted of the two laser beams, blue, I might add.... like "project bluebeam?" and the platform holes fit exactly the beams that we saw, both in distance and in configuration). 
The first one landed last December at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California after more than seven months in orbit.
