The Aliens told them it was time to de-classify. Now they will be revealing their true identity and intent.

Anything "secretive" was moved to Dugway Proving Ground in Utah a few decades ago.

UFOlogists crack me up, If I'm thinking of the same place Dugway is/was an army base designated to study chemical agents etc.(sheep incident?) Yeah, it makes sense to let the friken army look after alien spacecraft.

Fact is as soon as the cold war ended and the US stopped hiding ultra secret aircraft like the SR-71 Area-51 became very boring so the idiots picked a new place to hover around and of course have seen nothing (and never will)


If any government were hiding aliens or their spacecraft it would be impossible to hide it in this day in age...It's all BS,fairy tales and folklore.

While UFO's and little grey men are folklore (no question), I wouldn't be surprised if the government has found aggressive and / or dangerous bacteria in planet samples and have been studying such samples for years. Perhaps some from meteors or that which is found from the Mars Rovers, etc.

The actual story of Area 51 and operation oxcart are far more interesting and in a lot of ways hilarious then a UFO story

It is no surprise about all the Alien BS when they saw these things flying in and out of there in the early 60's:

I'm assuming that you were posting pictures of the SR-71.

Now with the rumor of the American's building a hypersonic spy plane (So fast that the Joe's can't catch it)

http://www.fighter-planes.com/info/aurora.htm

This would certainly look like a UFO



Suppossed contrails

My favorite is the BT Tower, which was secret from 1964 to 1993.

It's funny: I still remember my first Popular Science mag I got in grade 3 that showed a similar mock up of the Aurora. Here we are 25 years later and the speculation remains the same (though the scramjet contrail shots are new).

Whatever skunkworks is working on, they're bloody good at keeping it under wraps.

Alien autopsy was the name given to a hoaxed medical examination and dissection of a dummy depicted in a film released in the 1990s by a London-based entrepreneur Ray Santilli. He presented it as an autopsy on the body of an extraterrestrial being recovered from the crash of a "flying disc" near Roswell, New Mexico on June 2, 1947.

The 17-minute black-and-white film of poor quality surfaced in the 1990s, and Santilli claimed he had received it from an unidentified, former military cameraman. In 2006 he admitted the film was not authentic but a staged "reconstruction" of footage he claimed to have viewed in 1992, which had deteriorated and become unusable by the time he made his film. Santilli claimed that a few frames from the original were embedded in his film, but he never specified which ones. In 1995, before being exposed as a hoax, the film was sold to television networks and broadcast in more than 32 countries.

What's crazy is if the Aliens actually get a hold of this and see how we conduct our experiments they might learn what to do to us, based on this fraudulent presentation. I think about stuff like that.

Make sense that this is a secret base, as I can see by the map that Stark Road travels right through the south end. May want to rethink that one S.H.I.E.L.D.!

The intro music for that show was the soundtrack to many nightmares when I was a lad.
