    Thanks to those who've already replied to my request for info and 
opinions on the "Aurora", (yes, I know I mis-spelt it last time !) 
some interesting opinions I must say. 
    I've been given a little pointer as to where to look, but a 
little help is needed from someone out there. I've been told that a 
good source of info is "Trader John" on portal.cup, but unfortunatly, 
that is all I've got to go on. What I'm looking for is the full e-
mail address needed to get through. 
    If anyone out there can help me, get tapping now to 
"92913938@mmu.ac.uk".

Thanks,

Adrian Brown.

Subject: Another Aurora Fable

Last night (Thursday 3/30) a Discovery Channel program, "The Know Zone,"
dealt with various aspects of future weaponry & warfare. At one point, they
did a brief interview about the Aurora project with the guy from Testors (I
forget his name) who designed the 2 models. He talked about his network of
sources, that airline pilots were accustomed to seeing these things fly
above them but were instructed to ignore them. At *no* point was it made
clear that the models they were talking about were a commercial project for
sale in hobby stores, or that there was any other basis than the designer's
"network." Poor     8-(
