Who Doesn't Love a Good Classified Mission?

I read an article on this a few weeks ago and the today this story pops up! I love it. Man I sure hope that some government blabbermouth does not spill the beans about what this thing is all about.

I'm prepared to stay in the dark on this one...

The mysterious unmanned mini-space shuttle on a classified mission has finally returned to earth.
It landed early Saturday morning at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California after weather conditions kept pushing back landing attempts the last few days.
The Air Force's X-37B, is an unmanned reusable spacecraft built by Boeing that has spent more than a year on a classified mission in space.

I just saw a TV story today, maybe Discovery or something like that, about this unmanned shuttle. Also, half the show was devoted to the unmanned drones which is the thing of the future. I say we won't have pilots in fighter jets within 20 years, maybe sooner. That show was so informative and I'm wondering why we are so "blabbermouth" about all these inventions and secrets? I'm wondering, is unmanned drone an oxymoron?

Edited to add note about drones. No airport runways required. That would save a lot of money.

If you were able to click on it the govt would have to place you into protective custody for a very long time...

Even worse, if you were able to click on it the government would place you with a Kardashian (and it would just seem like a very long time).

The X-37B mission is the only thing in the last 5 years that got me thinking about my old job with the USAF. It would be interesting to have some sort of idea what that mission was.

In general, whenever you had a need to know, you didn't want to know...
