TR-3B Black Astra – A UFO or Top Secret Aircraft of USAF

What is It?

The TR-3B Astra is the name of a top-secret surveillance aircraft of the United States Air Force developed under a so-called "black project". The only evidence for such an aircraft is based on speculations about several reported sightings of mysterious triangular flying wing aircraft over Antelope Valley, an area of desert in southern California. TR-3B was manufactured by Northrop Grumman and Teledyne Ryan. The aircraft known for its low observability, was invented by Robert W. Wintersdorff and George R. Cota, employees at Teledyne Ryan, a firm specialized in building unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. On May 10, 1977, a design of the aircraft was patented by Teledyne Ryan. This design was made by Waldo Virgil Opfer, the first design being unmanned, the second manned. The TR-3B has been made using advanced composites, metamaterials, and titanium.

TR-3B Astra Sighting

The pitch black, triangular-shaped TR-3B whose operational model is 600 feet across on each side (the prototype is 250 across on each side), also strongly resembles the various Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) photographed in Belgium in 1989-90, that were chased by the Belgian Air Force and seen by hundreds of people in what came to be known as the Belgian UFO wave. On 31 March 1990, two F16 were scrambled from Beauvechain airbase and guided towards the radar contacts. A total of 9 interceptions were made that night. On 6 occasions both F16 pilots established a lock-on with their air interception radar. The lock-on distances varied between 5 and 8 NM. On all occasions, targets varied speed and altitude very quickly and break-locks occurred after 10 to 60 seconds with speeds varying from 150 and 1010 knots. On 3 occasions both F16 registered simultaneous lock-ons with the same parameters, even as the two F16 were flying approximately 2 NM apart. Owing to the night conditions, no visual contact could be established by either of the F16 pilots.

Another reported sighting was at the Groom Lake facility in the USA. The TR 3B that became operational in the early 1990s is known to fly in complete silence with indefinite hovering/loiter capabilities that allow it to remain in a place for as long as it needs. The TR-3B gives out a low humming noise during operational flights. All sightings have reported about TR-3B being distinct for its massive lights due to the 3 multimode rocket engines mounted under each corner of the aircraft at the 3 corners with a massive glowing red light in the center. As per reports at the very least 3 TR-3Bs were flying by 1994. The tactical reconnaissance TR-3B is a nuclear-powered aerospace platform developed under the Aurora Program, one of the most classified aerospace development programs in the USAF. TR3B is funded and used operationally by the NRO, NSA, and CIA. The NSA, NRO, CIA, and USAF have played a shell game with aircraft nomenclature like TR-3, TR-3A, TR-3B, Teir 2/3/4, with suffixes like (+) or (-) to confuse everyone and keep the guessing game on that each is a different aerospace vehicle.

TR3B Propulsion

Managed by a crew of 4 (prototype at least), the TR-3B is a very high altitude, stealthy reconnaissance sub-Mach 9 vehicle platform, which means it can travel at Mach 9 speed, vertically or horizontally. The aircraft can reach altitudes more than 120,000 feet, once an aircraft reaches that height at that speed, it doesn’t take much propulsion to maintain altitude. The performance of the aircraft is limited only by the stress levels that the human pilots can endure. Rumors abound about the use of a new element on the aircraft that helps reduce vehicle mass by 89%, considering the fact, that the G force is also reduced by 89%. The TR-3Bs propulsion is provided by 3 multi-modal thrusters reportedly built by Rockwell, mounted at 3 corners of the triangular platform.

The 3 multi-modal rocket engines in each corner of the craft use hydrogen or methane and oxygen as a propellant. In a liquid oxygen/hydrogen rocket system, 85% of the propellant mass is oxygen. The 2 nuclear thermal rocket engines use a hydrogen propellant, augmented with oxygen for additional thrust. The reactor heats the liquid hydrogen and injects liquid oxygen in the supersonic nozzle so that the hydrogen burns concurrently in the liquid oxygen afterburner. The multi-modal propulsion system can operate within the atmosphere, with thrust provided by the nuclear reactor; in the upper atmosphere, with hydrogen propulsion, and in orbit, with the combined hydrogen/oxygen propulsion. There are multiple vents on all 3 sides of TR-3B that serve as variable vectored intake/exhaust nozzle systems depending on which side the TR-3B is moving.

TR3B Stealth & MFD Tech & Anti Gravity

It must be remembered that the 3 rocket engines of TR-3B only have to propel 11% of the mass. TR-3B incorporates electrochromatic skin/panel for use in daytime stealth operations. The TR-3B vehicle's outer coating is reactive to electrical radar stimulation and can change reflectiveness, radar absorptiveness, and color. This polymer skin, when used in conjunction with the TR-3Bs Electronic Counter Measures and, ECCM, can make the vehicle look like a small aircraft, or a flying cylinder–or even trick radar receivers into falsely detecting a variety of aircraft, no aircraft, or several aircraft at various locations. A circular, plasma-filled accelerator ring called the Magnetic Field Disrupter, or MFD surrounds the rotatable crew compartment and is far ahead of any imaginable technology.

It’s reported that Sandia and Livermore Laboratories developed the reverse-engineered MFD technology. The plasma, mercury-based, is pressurized at 250,000 atmospheres at a temperature of 150 degrees Kelvin and accelerated to 50,000 rpm to create a super-conductive plasma with the resulting gravity disruption. The MFD generates a magnetic vortex field, which disrupts or neutralizes the effects of gravity on mass within proximity by 89%. This is not antigravity. Anti-gravity provides a repulsive force that can be used for propulsion. The MFD creates a disruption in Earth’s gravitational field upon the mass within the circular accelerator. The mass of the circular accelerator and all mass within the accelerator, such as the crew capsule, avionics, MFD systems, fuels, crew environmental systems, and the nuclear reactor, are reduced by 89%. This causes the effect of making the vehicle extremely light and able to outperform and outmaneuver any craft yet constructed except, of course, the UFOs we did not build.

All these prove that at least TR-3B is not an alien UFO as has been referred to earlier, but a USAF craft designed with specially made materials and tasked for doing special reconnaissance tasks.
