  1. A SR-71 for some reason or another landed at NAS Miramar, California once back in 1973 right next to my fighter squadrons VF-114’s flight line. Upon landing it was immediately met by a tow tractor and a large tarp was thrown over it and taken away to a nearby securely closed hangar and stayed there for a few days until it secretly took off later which no one noticed because of the secrecy surrounding it. It was very hush hush as it was supposed to be, and I still don’t why know it landed at Miramar or the reason why.
