Of course, the conspiracy people will view this denial as proof something was going on there.
Gotta go. Black stealth helicopters circling my position.
Well yes - don't forget this photo which was snapped near groom lake a few weeks ago:
The fighters look interesting, but I'd like to know more about that exec jet.
And then of course there's britain's Meteor PR19 which knocked the spots off the U2 programme...

Maybe the project is actually booming and for the sake of argument the supposed sub scale unmanned demonstrator is flying..

It makes sense to have some high speed reconnaissance asset that is not as pedictable as satellites. Plus it is unlikely that they have retired the blackbird back then without having something better. Core job of the SR-71 was post SIOP-reconnaissance. Something existing today must be able to do it. Might be unmanned as well.
All the current hypersonic hype, showing models and stuff, is like the stealth hype back then: Too noisy. Do they just want to scare russia into buying super expensive new radars and air defence all along their border again? Like when the cold war ended and the soviet union went bankrupt over it's defense expenditures? Russia today tries to "scare" back with their torpedo it seems.
