CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The military’s small, top-secret version of the space shuttle rocketed into orbit Tuesday for a repeat mystery mission, two years after making the first flight of its kind.
The space plane, dubbed the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle, was launched into orbit hidden atop an Atlas V rocket Tuesday for a classified Air Force mission that could last more than nine months.
This is the third time the Air Force will send an X-37B into orbit. It resembles a miniature space shuttle, is 29 feet long with a wingspan of 15 feet, and draws solar power for energy using unfolding panels. . . .

X-37B Robot Space Plane Returns After 220 Days in Orbit On Secret Mission; Air Force Denies That Ship is a Weapon
After seven months in space, the U.S. Air Force's secretive X-37B unmanned space plane returned to Earth today to wrap up a debut flight shrouded in secrecy.
The robotic X-37B space plane landed at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California to end its maiden voyage. The space plane, also known as Orbital Test Vehicle 1, glided back to Earth over the Pacific Ocean before landing at the revamped Vandenberg runway at about 1:16 a.m. PST (0916 GMT) Dec. 3.

NASA veteran Clark C. McClelland confirms alien existence as outlined by astronaut Edgar MitchellBy Australia.to
8-1-08
I, Clark C. McClelland, former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet, personally observed an 8 to 9 foot tall ET on his 27 inch video monitors while on duty in the Kennedy Space Center, Launch Control Center (LCC). The ET was standing upright in the Space Shuttle Payload Bay having a discussion with TWO tethered US NASA Astronauts! I also observed on my monitors, the spacecraft of the ET as it was in a stabilized, safe orbit to the rear of the Space Shuttle main engine pods.
I observed this incident for about one minute and seven seconds. Plenty of time to memorize all that I was observing.
IT WAS AN ET and Alien Star Ship!
To all who have faith in ME, I present you with this artists concept of what I saw many years ago at KSC. It was a tall creature, about 8 to 9 feet tall. It had a humanoid body shape with two arms, two hands, two legs, two feet, a slim torso and a normal size head for its size. The color of its skin I could not determine. It appeared to have two what appeared to be eyes, but it was not detailed enough for any other comments.
How did it communicate? I have no idea. It did move its arms a lot. Almost like giving instructions! I heard no voice communications. The helmet was not as large as our two NASA Astronauts, and had a viewport to look forward. It had a small, perhaps a communication device, attached only to the right side of the helmet!
I saw no oxygen tank(s). It had a wide belt like wrapping around it.. It did not appear to be tethered as the two Astronauts were to the sides of the shuttle structure. I observed nothing that appeared to be a weapon. The time of this amazing scene was one minute and seven seconds, I timed it on my Astronaut chronograph watch.
A friend of mine later contacted me and said that this person had also observed an 8 to 9 foot tall ET INSIDE the SPACE SHUTTLE CREW COMPARTMENT! Yes, inside OUR Shuttle! BOTH missions were DoD (Pentagon) TOP SECRET (TS) encounters!
With my verifiable background, there is no Federal Government Agency that can say I am crazy!

With my verifiable background, there is no Federal Government Agency that can say I am crazy!
I am a SPACE PROGRAM PIONEER. I assisted in launching the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Apollo-Soyuz, Skylab, Space Shuttle, Deep Space Missions, and the International Space Station.
I have received character substantiation from: Walter Cronkite, Major Donald
Keyhoe, NICAP Director, Richard Hall, Assistant Director of NICAP, Astronomer, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, etc. I served as the Assistant State of Florida and KSC Director of MUFON, the Director of the NICAP (National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena) at Cape Canaveral and KSC! I have received honored mentions from US Senators, Congressman, Military Officers and Scientists. (See my website site below for more exciting disclosures)
In fact, this absolutely verifies what my friend, Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, of Apollo 14, has recently and courageously released!
I have launched or witnessed 650 missions, so far in my life!
I am an expert in visually recognizing any crafts created and flown by the human race, whether secret or otherwise!I know an ET and Alien craft when I see them!
I was the Director of the NICAP Unit-3 actual X-Files at Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center, 1958 to 1992! YES, the ACTUAL X-FILES!! Aliens ARE HERE!! They walk among US! They may be implanted into OUR various earth governments!!
What I know, they would NOT allow me to publish! I have written at least three books to release the TRUTH to all of the HUMAN RACE! I was on the leading edge of this subject, and I have met with many NASA and other astronauts throughout the years I have been involved in the Military, NASA Space Programs, 1958 to 1992! I have heard many experiences of ETs having been seen on the Moon, etc., by NASA Astronauts and I relate these and more in my books.
NASA is not a CIVILIAN SPACE AGENCY! The Pentagon owns NASA! Some of the DoD (Department of Defense) missions I participated in were TOP SECRET! Those missions carried TS Satellites and other space mission hardware into orbit where several crews met with ETs! I am ready to tell my story, but, for compensation,
Clark C. McClelland,
former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet,
Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
Update 1 August 2008
A reader's comment - You've been had. The so-called NASA expert was long ago discredited. While he was a contractor for NASA for a time, his credentials simply do not check out. He has been selling nonsense for years. For the record, my friend, Edgar Mitchell, posted a disclaimer about the story that covered him last week. Edgar states that the author made up the part about NASA. This guy is trying to piggyback on the Mithchell story. Hope you didn't pay his asking price. Suggest you go back and vet your source. If you want more info, contact Jim Oberg,a real NASA veteran. John

UFO Disclosure from Astronaut Edgar Mitchell
Clark McClelland is a bonafide expert in the field of UFO specialists. He began his investigations of this strange phenomenon in 1947. His 60 plus years of study in the field of UFOlogy puts him in a unique class of educators and investigators.
He has lectured at many national universities including Notre Dame, Penn State, Ohio State, Berea, Montana State University, New York University, Idaho State, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and others too numerous to mention. On several occasions, he was requested by students and faculty to bring his unique topic to their campus as an elective course, although his work at Kennedy Space Center at the time overruled his acceptance.
Clark McClelland's long association with the UFO phenomenon has followed him throughout his aerospace career. In 1958 he was assigned to the national space program at Cape Canaveral, Florida, and helped launch or viewed 650 rockets and spacecraft. In addition to being an Aerospace Engineer and Technical Assistant to the Apollo Program Manager during the Apollo moon landings, McClelland and other SpaceCraft Operators did extensive technical checkout of simulated flights and mission objectives of the various shuttles to assure orbital success and the personal safety of the astronauts. McClelland knew many of the astronauts who perished during the Challenger disaster and certainly did all he could to keep each shuttle from such a repeat accident. He has held important positions involving such manned projects as Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo lunar landings, Skylab, the Space Shuttle and the Space Station. He was assigned to the cockpit of the Space Shuttle missions as a SpaceCraft Operator (Ground Test Astronaut). If anyone knows what is going on in space, with humans or otherwise, it is McClelland
In 1960, Major Donald E Keyhoe, the International Director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) selected McClelland to be Director for the Kennedy Space Center and central Florida region. His unit members included two NASA Astronaut Flight Surgeons, many engineers, scientists and mathematicians as consultants and investigators. Later, he was chosen as the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Director at the KSC and served concurrently as Assistant State Director for Florida.
McClelland's name is on three commemorative monuments, the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions - - - His name will be on the Space Shuttle, International Space Station and the Deep Space Missions monuments in the future
"To Clark McClelland: A space pioneer and a top SpaceCraft Operator. With admiration for your work."
Walter Cronkite, from an autographed photo given to Mr. McClelland.
"Your gift of knowledge concerning space exploration, astronomy and cosmic life is most impressive. I've always enjoyed our talks during my visits to the KSC/MFA (Kennedy Space Center/Manned Flight Awareness) awards presentations."
"Clark, it is as impossible to confirm them (UFOs) in the present as it will be to deny them in the future."
Dr. Wernher von Braun (deceased), space flight pioneer and NASA scientist.
"Thanks for the great orbiter (Shuttle) you gave us. It ran better than my lawn mower! Again, thanks to you and your fellow spaceship perfectionists, it pays off!"
Brian Duffy, NASA astronaut and Space Shuttle Mission Commander."
Thanks for letting us borrow YOUR orbiter."
Kathy Thornton, NASA astronaut and space walker who helped repair the Hubble Space Telescope in orbit.
"Clark, you were a GREAT Space Shuttle ScO (Space Craft Operator, etc.)."
Dr. Sally Ride, NASA Astronaut and first American woman in space.
"I am indebted to Clark McClelland, Director of the Kennedy Space Center UFO Investigative NICAP group, for the benefit of his scientific evaluation of UFO sightings and those of his fellow aerospace engineers and scientists."
Major Donald E. Keyhoe (deceased), former International Director, National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, Washington, DC.
"I will be pleased to call upon you to investigate UFO reports in the Kennedy Space Center area. I am most interested in your exchange of information with the Russian scientists."
Dr. J. Alan Hynek (deceased), Director, The Center for UFO Studies.
