Just to add a little information for you the plane didn't disintegrate because of the speed. What happened was the drones noes cone was at a poor angle (as you can see) when it detached it pitched immediately down cutting into the plane. The video you watch if you notice is in really slow motion and does not show this. But if you slow down the actual crash you will see the two aircraft collide. Thanks for sharing this video I haven't see this one yet but I have read reports and books on this crash.

edit anyone interested is reading into what happened at area 51 (no not alien stories) but the u2/sr71/stealth bomber and nuclear testing you should check out this book. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316132942/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1/192-7878547-1497613?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_r=0ZJ5GT5NG18GHDGCDA89&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_i=0440220734 its a good read.

What did you think of this book? Specifically the claim concerning russians sending mutants over to spook the Americans?

I highly recommend this book to learn more about the SR-71 (among many other things).

This is very similar to the perspective put forth by Annie Jacobsen about the U2 spy planes doing fly overs of the USSR during the cold war.

Annie Jacobsen has probably gotten as close as anybody, and she wrote a book about it.

I just finished reading "Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base" and it explains [SPOILER] the Roswell incident was a hovercraft with alien looking "children" in it, but they were not ET, they were from the USSR.

Stalin was apparently fascinated by the effect the radio broadcast "War of the Worlds" had on our country (in terms of panic, psych fear, etc.) and "recruited" (i.e. enslaved) German scientists captured from WWII to create the craft and genetically engineered humans as a scare tactic, though he didn't really intend it to crash.
