Agreed, Peter, there's no squadron of Auroras zipping around undetected. I call it my "Aurora story" with tongue in cheek.
But, I definitely heard a sonic boom, then saw a contrail that was definitely a series of smoke rings spaced along an axial main trail. And it was definitely on the precise heading to put it on the Robins runway in about six minutes, faster if it was doing anything above M1. But no, I have no idea if it actually went to RAFB or not.
Likewise, I make no claims or guesses about the vehicle that made the trail. I didn't see it. And I'm not a propulsion guy, so I have no idea whatsoever about the powerplant/aerodynamic properties needed to produce the contrail I saw.
Actually, none of this fits into my area, so I just threw it out there for people to chew on and maybe explain for me.
