Meet the Myth and Legend of the SR-91 Aurora Spy Plane – Watch out for media leaks and uncorroborated sightings, some airplanes can take on mythological status, even when they likely don’t exist.

Such is the case with the mysterious SR-91 Aurora spy plane.

This airplane may have been nothing more than an artist rendering of a concept, even though one witness said he saw it in action. Let’s take a deeper dive into whether the Aurora actually existed.
 
Why the SR-91 Aurora?
In the 1980s, the Air Force was looking for something that could replace the SR-71 Blackbird. The Blackbird was considered expensive to maintain as SR-71 flight operations cost a reported $200 to $300 million a year.
