There is a model of the Aurora hanging from the ceiling in the mezzanine level of the lobby of a building in Langley . Of course it could just be a piece of misinformation, but it is on display right next to a blackbird ( not sure which model ) and a U2 . They like to throw breadcrumbs out there to keep people guessing .
That said one plane matching the Aurora was spotted by a well respected plane spotter in the North Sea , only thing I saw that week was a killer whale hunting seals between the platform legs . Just another reason not to go swimming even when the water looks nice enough .
