THE FLYING TWINKIE. James Oberg reports on the launch of the Air Force’s X-37B Orbital Text Vehicle (OTV) on April 22nd. In an interesting speculation. Oberg writes:

Observers suspect that the test flight may involve observations of another space vehicle. This suspicion was fanned by the announcement in late February that a Mach-5 hypersonic glider would be launched from California toward a Pacific tracking site during the X-37B's first week in orbit.

If that was in fact the case, it would be interesting to find out that the X-37B was able to determine the cause of the Falcon HTV-2 failure.
