Description

I was looking at the supposed sketch of the Roswell craft that was posted here (https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/10wnpwh/sketch_of_the_roswell_…), and the front on view was almost instantly recognisable, as it looks almost exactly like the front on view of the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird.

Looking through the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_SR-71_Blackbird), it seems plausible that the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, might have been inspired by such a craft, if it does in fact exist.

Firstly, and according to Wikipedia, the SR-71 was developed as a black project from the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft, and the A-12 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_A-12) is the forerunner of the SR-71, and both have nearly the same shape, and dimensions. Both of these craft were designed and produced during the late 50’s and early 1960s, which seems like a sufficient enough time after the Roswell crash, for anyone studying it to have a basic understandings of it’s aerodynamic capabilities, in order to duplicate it themselves.

Secondly, the predecessor reconnaissance aircraft designed by Lockheed's Skunk Works is the Lockheed U-2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_U-2), and it looks nothing like the SR-71 and the A-12, and the significant leap in design is clear as day.
