The SR-71 used a large number of microprocessors or a level which we have
only just achieved in the last few years. The design of the SR-71 in itself
was revolutionary. This design point alone cannot finalise the argument but
it does raise a few eyebrows. It used technologies which were only
"developed" during the late 80's and 90's...
Also, there are a few materials used in the construction of the SR-71 which
were not available in the 50's and 60's... (mainly complex poly-hydrocarbons
and a variety or bipolymers)... someone of which STILL cannot be identified
today because they are simply something that we've never seen before and
might not do for a long time.


The counter argument to this is that hidden deep in Area51 are people who
are so smart, they've created the technologically most advanced civilisation
on the planet there. They've developed things which we cannot even
comprehend yet... All very feasible and all very possible...
