Current launch of the x37B Space Plane is set for 5:27 pm, March 4, 2011.

NASA space planeThe X-37B is prepared for launch near Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Air Force officials have offered few details on the experimental space plane. (Boeing / March 4, 2011)
 
Indeed, official have offered few details about today’s space plane launch.  What is is for, what it can do, what it’s mission is- is all up for debate.  While we wish it was researching teleportation; in reality, we do know from the military is that-

The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle will provide a flexible space test platform to conduct various experiments and allow satellite sensors, subsystems, components and associated technology to be efficiently transported to and from the space environment where it will need to function.- http://www.dodlive.mil/index.php/2010/04/air-force-bloggers-roundtable-air-force-set-to-launch-first-x-37b-orbital-test-vehicle/    

Last year some amateur astronomer found the X-37B, resulting in it being tracked in apps such as the Simple Satellite Tracker.  Saw it as clear as the ISS in the night sky.
 
“It’s a classified mission,” said Maj. Tracy A. Bunko, an Air Force spokeswoman. The spacecraft will be carrying “reusable technologies for America’s future in space and operating experiments, which can then be returned to and examined on Earth.”

The first X-37B was launched from the Cape last April, and 224 days later it landed on its own — fully automated — on a 15,000-foot-long airstrip at Vandenberg Air Force Base, northwest of Santa Barbara. The plane being launched this week is also expected to land there sometime late this year. via http://www.latimes.com/news/science/la-fi-space-plane-20110304,0,7597538.story

(PDF Document)  

Yeah, okay.
 
This morning a Taurus XL rocket did not separate as expected at about three minutes after launch of the Glory weather satellite.  Crashed into the Ocean— so they said.  Better luck to the Atlas 5, powering the X-37B.
 
 
X-37B will go from Space Launch Complex-41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. If the launch scrubs, the next launch attempt is set for March 5. The launch period for March 4 opened at 3:39 p.m. EST and extends until 5:37pm.
Updated 5:25 pm, the launch has been scrubbed due to bad weather, everything else was go.  Rescheduled for 4:09 pm on Saturday, March 6, 2011.  Stay tuned.

UPDATED https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/x-37b-space-plane-ready-set-go-for-what/

The U.S’s., sort of top-secret spy plane the X-37B,  also called the Orbital Test Vehicle 1 (OTV-1) landed at Vandenberg AFB on Friday at 1:16 a.m. in the darkness. 

Vandenberg released infrared camera video of the craft rolling to a stop, recovery crews approaching in vehicles and working around it in protective suits, much the way space shuttles are handled upon landing. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/03/x-37b-spacecraft-returns-_n_791579.html

Conspiracy has been abuzz ever since the X-37’s perfect launch from Cape Canaveral, FL in April 2010.  Depending on who was issuing the launch press release, everyone from NASA, the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office,  Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) the Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Space Command’s 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron and United Launch Alliance has had something to do with the X-37B.  More on the launch at https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/04/22/x37b-otv-spaceplane-launch-to-militarize-space/.   

With so many agencies working on this top secret project, we have to ask how the project has managed to stay so tight lipped in this day and age of Wikileaks?  (No one can find Assange let alone Osama.)

The site, Not Another CONspiracy http://www.notanotherconspiracy.com/2010/04/x-37b-prompt-global-strike.html  opinions that, “the X-37B would make an excellent platform for a Prompt Global Strike.” 

Citing the nytimes.com

Called Prompt Global Strike, the new weapon is designed to carry out tasks like picking off Osama bin Laden in a cave, if the right one could be found; taking out a North Korean missile while it is being rolled to the launch pad; or destroying an Iranian nuclear site — all without crossing the nuclear threshold. In theory, the weapon will hurl a conventional warhead of enormous weight at high speed and with pinpoint accuracy, generating the localized destructive power of a nuclear warhead.

The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle will provide a flexible space test platform to conduct various experiments and allow satellite sensors, subsystems, components and associated technology to be efficiently transported to and from the space environment where it will need to function.- http://www.dodlive.mil/index.php/2010/04/air-force-bloggers-roundtable-air-force-set-to-launch-first-x-37b-orbital-test-vehicle/    

Contrail spirals similar to an advanced solid-rock­et missile

Various experiments?  September 10, 2010 a mysterious missile lit up the sky off the coast of Los Angeles.  What kind of experiment could it have been?  The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, issued a statement jointly with the U.S. Northern Command, or NORTHCOM, saying that the contrail was not the result of a foreign military launching a missile.  via http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/09/missile-launch-los-angeles_n_780858.html If it wasn’t foreign, was it one of ours?

The official/unofficial explanation was an airplane contrail.  Could an X-37B  or a similar vehicle launch have caused the sky disturbance?

Mmmm, remember the Norway lights of December ’09?  A year later and still there is no official explanation.  A rocket launch, airplane contrails, a test shot from an orbiter?  Videos of  intercontinental-range ballistic missile launch contrails can be seen here https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/01/02/norway-lights-missile-debunked/.

Could the X-37B have cloaking properties?  Space watchers have followed the craft on and off all summer along with a multitude of satellites, rockets, debris, and the International Space Station.  Could it have easily caused these and other unexplained lights in the sky? 

…the X-37B been arguably the least-secret secret project on the planet, as fellow backyard astronomers  joined in the scrutiny, aided by how-to video guides and apps such as the Simple Satellite Tracker.

That is, they did until July 29, when the shuttle disappeared, causing all kinds of consternation and conspiracy theories about its fate.

It took amateur skywatcher Greg Roberts of Cape Town, South Africa, who noticed that it failed to appear as scheduled above his base on August 14, another five days to find it.

When he did, he noticed it was some 30km higher and on a different trajectory, according to calculations from other colleagues in Rome and Oklahoma.

The X-37B’s new track takes it on a six-day orbit of the Earth, as opposed to its original four-day orbit. Read more: http://www.darkgovernment.com/news/x-37b-goes-missing-for-two-days/#ixzz16znxXyEK

We can only use our imagination to what experiments were carried out by the X-37B.  The press release pretty much says, “It has landed.  The end. ”  Maybe it is just the beginning.

Is the earth sinking in on itself? 

While it appears that our economy is in a deflationary sinkhole, numerous sinkholes are being reported throughout the world. Wiki says, “A sinkhole, also known as a sink, shake hole, swallow hole, swallet, doline or cenote, is a natural depression or hole in the earth’s surface caused by karst processes – the chemical dissolution of carbonate rocks.”

A natural depression? Many of the recent sinkholes occurring around the world are not in an area where there are carbonate rocks, so what’s up? Or should we ask, what’s going down?

Two new sinkholes were reported today.

HARRIMAN, Tenn. (WVLT) — State transportation officials are warning drivers to avoid a sinkhole on Interstate 40 westbound in Roane County.   TDOT says maintenance crews discovered the sinkhole Monday morning in the right-hand lane at mile marker 344.5, just past the Harriman exit. http://www.volunteertv.com/news/headlines/99242529.html?ref=529

AND

A large sinkhole caused by heavy rains last week has closed down U.S. 51 north of Janesville, and officials don’t know when the road will reopen.  The state traffic operations center said the highway was shut down as of 10:14 a.m. Monday.  Traffic is blocked in both directions, from U.S. 14, near where the sinkhole formed, north about seven miles to County M, the state Department of Transportation said. http://host.madison.com/ct/news/local/article_7da125b0-98cd-11df-beb8-001cc4c03286.html

On July 23rd, a man was rescued from a sinkhole in Milwaukee, asking “What happened?” after his Cadillac Escalade plummeted into the a chasm that opened up during a deluge. http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/milwaukee-sinkhole-swallows-driver-in-suv/19566080

In Alabama, The Department of Transportation hopes to have a sinkhole on I-65 fixed by the end of the week. Traffic in Hoover and Pelham has been snarled for most of the month. http://www.myfoxal.com/Global/story.asp?S=12868441

On July 22, 2010 a sinkhole 45 meters deep was discovered in the Yucatan.

The giant hole in an agricultural area Chencoh , Hopelchén

The depth of the hole is estimated at more than 45 meters, the gap is 13 to 15 meters in diameter. It is the first time an event is recorded of its kind in the history of the entity and therefore the State Emergency Centre ( Cenecam ) isolated the area to prevent accidents, as they fear more landslides.

“It’s amazing , the collapse of Guatemala in June had 31 meters deep , it exceeds it , “said Mario Arcovedo of Cenecam . http://www.yucatan.com.mx/noticia.asp?cx=16$1310000000$4349232 

30m-diameter sinkhole in a northern district of Guatemala City

Mario Arcovedo of Cenecam was a bit confused.  The Guatemala sink hole was 60 meters deep, 30 meters wide, according to The Guardian.

Tropical Storm Agatha swept across Central America yesterday, bringing torrential rain that killed more than 100 people and opened a 60m-deep sinkhole in Guatemala City. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jun/01/storm-agatha-hole-guatemala

We wrote on the Guatemala hole in this article- https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/conspiracy-hurricane-volcano-fema-oil/  stating , “That’s some perfectly round sinkhole, wouldn’t you say?  Almost looks as if it was man-made.”

“With few exceptions, the ground collapses that constitute the karst geohazard in engineering activity in limestone terrains are induced by human activity,” says the Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology; 2008; v. 41; issue.3; p. 291-300. http://qjegh.lyellcollection.org/cgi/content/abstract/41/3/291

What if that human activity extends beyond uncontrolled surface drainage, bad engineering, and poor geology?  Alabama Department of Transportation spokesman Tony Harris said Friday sinkholes remain a problem for North Alabama with limestone deposits. Blame that one on geology, as for the rest?

What if it extends to the human activity behind projects like HAARP, CERN, FERMI, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and other conspiratorial projects? Project Blue Beam, part one?

Rainfall amounts ranging from 5-20 inches is not normal in the Midwest or the DC area.  It feeling a bit like the the Amazon! Shall we believe nature is showing a supernatural course around the world?  Are you more akin to believe it is weather modification?

And, if you don’t believe in weather modification:

“Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves… So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations…It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts.” Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April 1997 counterterrorism conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn.  http://weatherwars.info

Sounding like a military operation, the Chinese government authorized the use of 1,104 cloud seeding missile launches from 4:00-11:39pm on Friday night to remove the threat of rain ahead of the 29th Olympic opening ceremony in Beijing.

We fired a total of 1,104 rain dispersal rockets from 21 sites in the city between 4 p.m. and 11:39 p.m. on Friday, which successfully intercepted a stretch of rain belt from moving towards the stadium” – Guo Hu, Beijing Municipal Meteorological Bureau (BMB). http://www.universetoday.com/2008/08/12/the-chinese-weather-manipulation-missile-olympics/

FOR SALE, Bulgaria Weather Modification Cloud Seeding Rocket Loza

Maybe they should be using those dispersal rockets now.  Leave it to China to broker the sale of a Bulgaria Weather Modification Cloud Seeding Rocket Loza.

Heavy rains, flooding and disasters have killed at least 742 people and left hundreds more missing this year across much of China, state-run media reported on Monday.  Rains have affected nearly 36 million people and more than one million have been relocated.  Floods and landslides have killed dozens more people in recent days and forced the evacuation of another 12,000 people in western and central China….Although floods are common in China during the wet season, floods this year have been the worst in decades.  http://english.ntdtv.com/ntdtv_en/ns_china/2010-07-26/930104913328.html
   
China, Russia, the U.S. and others have admitted to controversial weather modification programs. Static Brain wrote at, http://www.staticbrain.com/archive/haarp-weather-modification-for-weather-warfare/

As if electromagnetic pulses in the sky and mental disruption were not enough, Bernard J. Eastlund (patent holder and developer of some of the HAARP technology, bragged that the super-powerful ionospheric heater could control weather. Begich and Manning brought to light government documents indicating that the military has weather-control technology. When HAARP is eventually built to its full power level, it could create weather effects over entire hemispheres. If one government experiments with the world’s weather patterns, what is done in one place will impact everyone else on the planet.

A research paper entitled, Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025 , submitted in 1996-http://www.fas.org/spp/military/docops/usaf/2025/v3c15/v3c15-1.htm stating that:

In 2025, US aerospace forces can “own the weather” by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war-fighting applications

Just makes you want to sing, “It’s raining, it’s pooring…,” but no man should be snoring.  Wake up before you sink further into believing that these things aren’t possible. 

It was after all rather convenient that another tropical storm evaded the BP oil spill disaster.  A significant amount of air space remains closed over the Gulf spill. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/06/16/faa-closes-airspace-gulf-oil-spill/

I wonder how the mystery tests are coming along with DARPA’s X-37B?

The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle will provide a flexible space test platform to conduct various experiments and allow satellite sensors, subsystems, components and associated technology to be efficiently transported to and from the space environment where it will need to function. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/04/22/x37b-otv-spaceplane-launch-to-militarize-space/

X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle

UPDATE https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/x-37b-space-plane-ready-set-go-for-what/

The X-37B  Orbital Test Vehicle also referred to as the Advanced Technology Demonstrator  is set for launch tonight, April 22, 2010. It will be taken aloft by The Atlas V in the 501 vehicle configuration with a five-meter fairing, no solid rocket boosters and a single-engine Centaur upper stage from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station’s Launch Complex 41. The planned liftoff time is 7:52 p.m. and the launch window will extend through 8:01 p.m.

The X-37B OTV is not your everyday launch.  First of all, this is not a NASA program, but a U.S. government launch that is cloaked in secrecy.   Shuttle Atlantis only this morning has reached its seaside perch on launch pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center.  It is targeted for a six crew, May 14 launch to the International Space Station. http://flametrench.flatoday.net/

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with the Air Force's Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) rolls out to its Space Launch Complex-41 launch pad arriving at 11 a.m. EDT today. Photo by Pat Corkery, United Launch Alliance.

 The X-37 program, while originally a NASA initiative, is now led by Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office officials, which expedite development and fielding of select Defense Department combat support and weapons systems. AFRCO officials are currently working on the X-37B program, building upon early development and testing conducted by officials from NASA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Air Force Research Laboratory. http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123199790 

Angie Blair, an Air Force spokeswoman for the project added, “that the X-37B will be operated by contractors under the direction of Air Force Space Command’s 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron.”  

The Denver Post http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_14924089?source=rss said the launch was being done by the Centennial-based United Launch Alliance.  This will be United Launch Alliance’s third launch of the year and the 21st Atlas V launch in program history. http://www.ulalaunch.com/site/.

    

Featured above is one of, “Trevor Paglen’s “I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have to Be Destroyed By Me: Emblems From the Pentagon’s Black World.” Paglen, an “artist, writer and experimental geographer,” has assembled about 40 colorful patch insignia from secret, military “black” programs that are hardly ever discussed in public… Almost every patch has a Latin phrase at the bottom, e.g. Semper en Obscurus, or “Always in the Dark,” the motto of the Air Force’s Special Projects Office.http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/08/opinion/08iht-edbeam.1.9872586.html     

On this AFRCO patch, ” The Latin at the bottom of the patch translates as “Doing God’s work with other people’s money.” The image is part of the http://www.naderlibrary.com/index.htm.    

This patch is from the Phillips Laboratory Military Spaceplane Technology (MiST) Program Office at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. The original version of this patch featured an "X-Wing" fighter from Star Wars.

The Air Force interest in military spaceplanes stretches back nearly 40 years from the first Aerospaceplane program and Dyna-Soar/X-20 program (late 1950s-early 1960s); to the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization’s Single-Stage Rocket Technology program that built the Delta Clipper-Experimental (DC-X) experimental reusable spaceplane.  http://www.fas.org/spp/military/program/launch/msp.htm      

From a 1999 Report via http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/library/report/1999/99-154.htm   “The Air Force must quickly develop doctrine and command relationships designed to maximize the contributions routine space access brings to the joint warfighter. Doctrinal constructs for the effective use of USAF expeditionary aerospace power will help ensure our nation maintains its lead as the preeminent aerospace power. This paper specifically uses the near-future advent of Reusable Launch Vehicles and their implications for an Expeditionary Air Force as an illustration of how future Joint Force Commanders may effectively bring aerospace power to bear in the battlespace as a combined, synergistic whole.”    

Basically, 11 years later America is about to officially weaponize space, or should we say at least for the first time, admitting it.    

The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle will provide a flexible space test platform to conduct various experiments and allow satellite sensors, subsystems, components and associated technology to be efficiently transported to and from the space environment where it will need to function. Read the X-37B fact sheet.  The X-37B will also prove new technology and components before they are committed to operational satellites.    

 “The X-37B is an important step in the effort to make space access more routine, affordable, and responsive,” Mr. Gary Payton, Air Force Under Secretary for Space Programs, said. “The technologies and concepts of employment that are proven by the Orbital Test Vehicle will be folded into development programs that will provide capabilities for our warfighters in the future. http://www.dodlive.mil/index.php/2010/04/air-force-bloggers-roundtable-air-force-set-to-launch-first-x-37b-orbital-test-vehicle/    

Just how important could the X-37B in defending our nation? 

Columnist Charles Krauthammer reiterates President Obama lackluster nuclear policy at WaPo, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/08/AR2010040804507.html–    

Under President Obama’s new policy, however, if the state that has just attacked us with biological or chemical weapons is “in compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT),” explained Gates, then “the U.S. pledges not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against it.”    

Besides our horrible policy on deterrence, officials are warning that the U.S. is being subject to increasing threats.    

WASHINGTON, April 20, 2010 – Ballistic missiles are an increasing threat to the United States, and the Defense Department must keep up with them, the deputy undersecretary of defense for policy said today. James N. Miller, speaking about the department’s Nuclear Posture Review before the Senate Armed Services Committee, said several nations are developing nuclear, chemical or biological warheads for their missiles.    

The threat to the U.S. homeland is most acute from states such as North Korea and Iran, Miller said. “Neither has yet acquired ICBMs that could reach the United States, but both are working to acquire and/or develop long-range ballistic missile capabilities – including space-launched vehicles – which include many of the necessary technologies,” he said.    

“The exploration and use of outer space … shall be for peaceful purposes and shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interest of all countries, irrespective of their degree of economic or scientific development. …prevention of an arms race in outer space would avert a grave danger for international peace and security Prevention of an arms race in outer space, United Nations General Assembly Resolution, A/RES/55/32, January 2001. (PDF Document)  

Whether we are militarizing space for peaceful purposes, attack purposes or economic purposes; the X-37B is set for blastoff  today, which in total irony is designated Earth Day.

Viewing the Launch Online: A live simulcast of the TV broadcast will be available here http://www.ulalaunch.com/site/pages/Multimedia_Webcast.shtml on the ULA Web site, at 7:32 p.m. EDT  or follow  http://twitter.com/ulalaunch.
