There's some pretty conclusive evidence that 'Aurora' or whatever it was called DID exist, however the story is that it was retired in 1994 due to ongoing problems with the engines. Maybe it will be resurrected once engine technology has caught up?
As for now, there's evidence of a fast stealthy strike platform operating out of Tonopah with a cover unit comprised of F-16s for daytime flying - similar to what they did with the F-117/A-7 combination in the mid 80s.
There's also talk of an advanced development of the Lockheed Darkstar Recon UAV being flown out of Groom Lake, and that it has even seen action over Iraq much to the chagrin of the U-2 drivers over there.
