Talk:TR-3 Black Manta

message: Does anyone have the covers for the listed magazines, or some other pictures of the Black Manta?
There are photos posted on internet forums that
appear to have lights at the three apex corners.

That link to youtube is a summary of photos.

text: I think, you are right and I will add Adrian Mann's picture - didn't know, that it's ok in the US (by the way: I'm identical with 141.2.22.211 from above). And what's about the Keith Saint "sighting"? Delete or not? Crypto-ffm 11:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Keith Saint's photo looks exactly like the sketch of an UCAV (unmanned aerial vehicle; used for reconnaisance) presented in the UAP-Report of the British MoD (Section 9, Figure 8, p. 93). The sketch presented there comes from Janes, a journal focused on military subjects and describes an UAV whith a highly stealthy design. Frankly spoken: It could also be nearly anything else including a fake. But in any case: it shares absolutely no similarities to the socalled TR-3 Manta, as this allegedly looked very much like a mixture between the F-117 and the B-2 141.2.22.211 15:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Manta Photo 

message: Actually, there exists no photo of the TR3-Manta. The photos which are proposed by the sites which are cited by teslafieldmachine are no conclusive evidence. It's up to everyone's personal belief whether they are showing a Black Manta or just some lights in the sky. All one could add is a sketch drawn by Adrian Mann and based on the rumours about what TR-3 should look like (http://www.thespacereview.com/article/576/2). But that would raise copyright problems. Bytheway, the same source (http://www.thespacereview.com/article/576/2) comes to the conclusion, that the TR-3 never existed and that the rumors about its existence were just based on misinterpretation. 141.2.22.211 15:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

message: In light of the deployment of the RQ-170 Sentinel, possible that the unidentified flying wing aircraft seen over California and Nevada in the late 1980s and early 1990s may not be classified spy planes at all, but instead subscale technology demonstrators built to test the flight characteristics of the Air Force's cancelled Tier III (keeping in mind that Tier III Minus had a shorter wingspan than the original Tier III). The development timeframe of the original Tier III (Darkstar was built after the cancellation of the original Tier III) is consistent with the dates of the sightings because Tier III was cancelled in 1992. Like Aurora, the TR-3 is almost certainly a figment of pure fantasy, lacking concrete evidence of government spending on its operational deployment. 68.4.28.33 (talk) 15:49, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
