Dude, the cargo capacity is enough to carry a person and life support gear- people would pay handsomely to take rides in this thing!

Umm ... no windows?  I'd not pay **** to take a space ride I couldn't be sure I was even in space for.  You know, cuz I couldn't see if I was or not.

 I can't imagine the re-entry would be all that pleasant, stuffed into the cargo bay of one of those things...  Tongue out

Well, maybe they'd open up the bomb bay- er, cargo bay doors when you are up there. As an added bonus, you'd then be one tether line away from a personal spacewalk.

Now that's not a bad idea.  Bonus!

It was a plane.  Multiple sources confirmed it by comparing the time stamp of the recording to flight records.  There was a plane in the area at that time and the film was a result of the contrail and the angle at which the film was shot.  To verify this, they recreated the shot soon after.  Cuz they know planes fly that route, when they do and where the shot was captured from.  It was nearly identical.

No need to be all frowny about it.  It's just a 'story' the man told us.  As I forgot where I placed my tinfoil the day I read that particular article, it's possible my brains was corrupterated.
