A full-length Boscombe Special Report discusses this incident and the
related ties involved with Groom Lake, Air Force Plant 42, and Northrop
& Mc Donnell Douglas.  Supported by numerous pieces of information,
the article provides some deductive speculation that the aircaft involved
may have been the ASTRA (Advanced Stealth Technology Reconnaisance
Aircraft), an aircraft similar to the Northrop YF-23 design.  Their analysis
suggests that the ASTRA is a hypersonic design that has in fact taken the place of the rumored Aurora, and by piecing together various funding and development timelines, concludes that the ASTRA is in operational status.

A good article for the aeronautically inclined.
