Micromachines models of the TR-3A Black Manta and the TR-3B Aurora
Note the NASA and National Reconaissance Office logos on the Sr-71 and Aurora spy planes respectively.
Despite some rumors that Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colorado is said to have been the home of the Aurora Project… Evidence instead shows us that the early 1976-1977 Teledyne Ryan projects were conducted at an air field in El Centro, California not far from Teledyne Ryan Headquarters in San Diego. Althought it is interesting to note that Space Force’s largest concentration in the mid west is located there.

Teledyne Ryan patent United States on April 26, 1977, under number 4,019,699. This aircraft of low observability, as it is called, 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 an aircraft was patented by Teledyne Ryan under number Des. 244,265, and closely resembles the earlier mentioned example. This design was made by Waldo Virgil Opfer. The first design is unmanned, the second one manned. Whether one of these designs is related to the above-mentioned TR-3 is not positively identified, but it is a coincidence that TR also stands for Teledyne Ryan. Teledyne Ryan was acquired by Northrop Grumman in 1999.

Gravitational Drag in Superconductors and the Origins of the Magnetic Flux Field Disruptor (MFD)…
General Electric – GE Aerospace Gravity Research of the 1970s
During the 1960s through the mid 1970s, Henry William Wallace was a scientist at GE Aerospace in Valley Forge PA, and GE Re-Entry Systems in Philadelphia.
In the early 1970s, Wallace was issued patents (1,2,3) for some unusual inventions relating to the gravitational field. Wallace developed an experimental apparatus for generating and detecting a secondary gravitational field, which he named the kinemassic field, and which is now better known as the gravitomagnetic field. Wallace’s experiments were based on aligning the nuclear spin of elements and isotopes which have an odd number of nucleons. These materials are characterized by a total nuclear spin which is an odd integral multiple of one-half, resulting in one nucleon with un-paired spin. Wallace drew an analogy between the un-paired angular momentum in these materials, and the un-paired magnetic moments of electrons in ferromagnetic materials.
Why Rotating Mercury? Super-Cooled Condensate? Or High Energy Plasma?
Modern research suggests that high temperature superconductors can be produced in metal-ammonia systems via bipolaronic condensates:

General Electric Mercury-Vapor Lamps date back to the 1930s
Although it is unclear what became of GE Aerospace’s experiments with rotating mercury, the investigation continues into a potential back story for the TR-3B Astra’s propulsion system as alleged by Former Area 51 Employee Edgar Fouche
