Footage appears to show aircraft larger than football field soaring over Calif

sfgate.com

Appears to show? The article identifies the aircraft - which denies the hinted-at uncertainty. And it hit mach5 which is cool and interesting.

Aircraft is the Roc, Scaled Composites' autonomous Model 351 Stratolaunch (giant dual-fuselage flying wing).

Mainstream media just reflexively equivocates now, because actually making a positive statement just leads to immediate attacks.

It's the Talon-A2 that reaches mach 5. The Roc is its launch vehicle. Roc is very cool nonetheless.

Ah. Appreciate the clarification.

I had planned to be stunned at those giant wings doing mach5, as soon as I had a free minute.
