Heck.. considering how far in the past the retirment of the SR-71 was... The Aurora would be similarly as 'Long in the tooth'.
The Yanks couldn't keep the identity of the F-117 and the B-2 a secret for long.
Not to mention the "Dragon Lady's" that are still, possibly, flying around.
I doubt the Aurora is actually a 'Thing'. Heck, probably a screeen, like the F-117 was for the B-2 project and development, for something even more weird and hyper wonderful.
Cheers.
Not at work.
The YB71 - the SR71 prototype went in service in 1958. It was still classified almost 30 years later.
....
It is almost unconcievable to NOT have an in-service spy plane that can do recon in places where satellite recon isn't effective.
I would bet everything that they did not pull the SR71 from service till they had a replacement.

Very useful - but not quick deployable and not really all weather capable.
