According to The Guardian British newspaper, the secrecy surrounding the vehicle has captured the imagination of scientists and dozens of conspiracy theorists.

Some of these theories are the monitoring of satellites of other countries, such as Russia, China and the EU, and to monitor the “secret space station” supposedly created by China in space.

The only certainty is that the mission of the mysterious X-37B spacecraft will not be its last, as American federal agencies are planning the fourth launch from Cape Canaveral, next year.
