i saw the SR-71 in late 1962. It was still called something else then - YF12, think but am not positive. I was on a midnite shift at Andrews AFB and took lunch at Base OPS. Big commotion outside on the ramp. Whole gang of armed MP's surrounded it with their backs to the plane. Crew got out opened a compartment and withdrew a large shroud which a ground crew then helped them cover the plane and then a tug pushed the thing into a hangar and the doors closed. The episode took less than 5 minutes in the dark after the plane stopped taxiing. I knew what itwas from Popular Science magazine 6 months earlier. It went officially over 2200 mph. I heard from a buddy in a Nike missle squadron that they tracked one in an exercise later at 2400 knots. That's hauling ass! Now given 40 more years. I agree that UFO's are really "NATFO's" (Not Admitted To Flying Objects)
