SR71 Film

Thanks everyone. I'd read about this programme but hadnt connected it with
the film clip. You can clearly see the airspike in the early part of the
clip. It occurred to me that the drone would look very triangular from
below. Could it be an explanation for the so-called aurora sighting in the
north sea thats often cited on documentaries.

No. The D-21 was canceled after only a few test flights.

Read to the end of the article, 4 D-21D models were launched
from B-52 motherships and overflew China to the Nuclear test
area at Lop Nor.
Ben Rich in his book about the Skunk Works detailed his
getting a "Gift" from a CIA agent, it proved to be an hatch cover
from a D-21B that had flown off course in China, the hatch was
reportedly picked up in Siberia, Russia

its unlikley that they were ever over the North Sea.
