Had an interesting discussion a few days ago. Im sure you all know of Area 51, the UFO that supposedly crashed and the goverment conspiracy to cover it up, etc.
Theres been various documentries on it. Witnesses, etc. I didnt have much of an opinion of it besides the fact that -something- happened, since something like this couldnt have just been a rumor that spread around the world. However, the most convincing one ive seen took a different approach from the other ones.
It started with saying that a UFO crashed into a field. A farmer called in the nearby general of a military installation. The general inspected it and for 3 days he was as clueless as the population. Suddenly one day the goverment moves in and takes it away and the general starts saying it was an advanced weather balloon that crashed. This program, using un-classified info, showed that the goverment spent millions of dollars transporting, etc. an 'advanced weather ballon'. Suddenly Area 51 pops up and people are shot on sight if they try to get into the compound.
Another little fact : The general took a piece of the wreckage. It was a piece of amazingly strong sheet of metal that you could squish up into a ball like plastic-wrap and would spring back to its original shape.
Ill try looking for a site with some info on it.
Forgot : It also said that fiber optics may have come from study of the UFO.
