X-31
History will always remember the name…Enterprise!
X-34 Mock-up from March 1995:

“X-34 Mock-up from March 1995”
Bingo. I guess the “warp drive access” gave it away…
However, it was not from March of 1995, but from January of ’96… when the mockup was sitting in rather sad plywood parts in a tent next to the OSC office building.
Reminds me of a section on “Trouble Shooting” a friend of mines brother found in his Technical School (Air Force) training manual on electronic warfare systems.
“Occassionally the system will register spikes in the (very high range can’t recall the exact figure) these are transient and caused by starships using their warp drives in the outer solar system.”
Page break at this point, where in the very next paragraph on the next page says the issue is actually caused by high altitude lighting and how to adjust it so it doesn’t interfere with your trouble-shooting progress.
Technical Instructors (who write these manuals) really DO have a sense of humor! :o)
(Not that it hasn’t stopped me from seeing the page “quoted” on several UFO conspiricy sites as “proof” of the Governments involvment in UFOs :o)

That and the round to square airframe with a wing shape on top.
And the article I found sited this for a date stamp: “AP 03-31-95 02:03 AET”
The fun part was at the very bottom is the reasoning for Orbitals L-1011 being named ‘Stargazer’. š
Grumble-grumble-grumble š
Should have been Enterprise…
