About the AAP
The Aurora Aircraft Page was originally created by a graduate student at the Haas Business School at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1995. It is believed to be the first webpage devoted entirely to the subject of the Aurora. The page was hosted for about three years on the university domain, and quickly became the most popular, and perhaps authoritative, single website about the subject.
After the Berkeley domain was shut down, the AAP saw at least two other webmasters between 1998 and 2000, falling into increasing states of disrepair before it came into present stewardship. For almost three years the AAP was run by a very loose partnership, and the site resided at Tripod, until increasingly draconian bandwidth policies forced the AAP to look for new hosting in 2003. In early 2004, the AAP's web presence was reestablished with its move to Prohosting.
The Aurora Aircraft Page attempts to present the "facts" of the Aurora as reliably as possible.
However, the observations, speculation, and opinions of the people involved cannot always be
entirely objective. Since 2000, the AAP has endeavored to treat the subject more fairly and objectively than in past iterations, while remaining faithful to the general, old-school layout of the original Berkeley site. Inevitably, mistakes are inherent in reporting such an elusive, yet technical story. Therefore, the AAP cannot ascribe to the authenticity of all content presented on this site. Herculean efforts have been made to separate fact from fiction as much as possible, but with the volume of innuendo and hearsay present in the site's content, the ultimate goal of objectivity is an ongoing process.
It is the goal of the Aurora Aircraft Page to make no claim which harms the personal or professional reputation of any person or entity mentioned herein. The information provided on these pages is believed to have come from unclassified, lawful sources, and are credited whenever possible.
Since the mid 1990s the subject of Aurora has fallen into history, and would not be considered an ongoing news story by most observers. It is with this understanding that the AAP does not treat the subject as a "current event."
Finally, it is the hope of the Aurora Aircraft Page to work toward a credible historical document of the aircraft, whether it exists in fantasy or reality.
