"The Air Force X-37B is not a missile or weapon."

Unless you have a security clearance and are using the information from classified sources, you cannot claim this, and people should not believe this statement at all.

The X-37B is a classified US military project. There is no confirmation, either way, whether it is or isn't a weapons system, or whether it has already been used as a weapon system.

In fact, you can ask the US military point blank, is the X-37B a weapon, and you will get "no comment"
