In November's "Monitoring Times" (a magazine for radio hobbiests)
there is a 3 view drawing (page 43) from an anonymous source 
of a small aircraft which the magazine links to the August 5 
encounter of United flight 934 747 and a small fast wingless aircarft
over the California desert (recently reported in Av Week, etc..)

The magazine states that the sketch is of a vehicle tested recently 
on a hypersonic sled test track at Holloman AFB, NM.  The magazine
also repeats stories of a small fast wingless craft that were in
Av Week a couple months ago.

For those who can't find the magazine at their news stand, I will 
attempt to describe the drawing:  basic shape and size (judging from
canopy size) is very similar to the X24-B, but with an added curved 
underside. Add to that large flaired chines (like an SR-71's) to the 
nose and inward canted tail surfaces like the F-177 prototype.
