Early to mid 1970’s NASA Langley photos of a hypersonic research aircraft configuration in a hypersonic wind tunnel, demonstrating the shock waves that would be generated at high speed.
This particular configuration was studied at some length. And while I seriously doubt that it led to an actual “Aurora,” I have little doubt that it inspire many in the journalistic and “conspiracy” communities, and became one of the stereotypical configurations depicted as “Aurora.”
