Aliens are everywhere and I live with 30 cats
I have found my self reading Abovetopsecret.com (ATOS) a lot again recently. Initially this was because of a conversation at work regarding siting of what could of been the "Aurora". Reading the other articles on there and posts on the forum it would be easy to jump up and down and claim most if not all these people are either complete nut jobs, or Totally on the money.
The more I read on there, the more fence I'm finding to perch my self on. The arguments for and against the various things such as UFOs, the presence of Aliens on earth, are many and varied. A lot of the arguments are self reinforcing (similar in many respects to religions). It has been published that the CIA spend up to 50% of its colossal budget on misinformation.
What really interests me and what I keep coming back to in my mind, is that the SR-71 came in to service in 1964 s
o was being developed through out the 50's and is capable of speeds well over 2000mph. Assuming you get 12 Points for doubling the national speed limit you'd get 336 point on your license doing that, enough for a ban for 118 years. If the official last flight of the SR-71 was in 1999 what have they replaced it by ? The official response is its no longer required due to the increased sophistication of spy satellites. Does the SR-71 indicate the possession of advanced technology not in common usage ?
A would be counter the SR-71 is that the Cassini mission, having its systems advanced by "upgrading" the systems compression method during the mission, could indicate that the perceived technological leaps being made at Groom lake etc, are in fact just extreme implementations of already understood technologies.
So in conclusion of this very conclusion-less post, I'm finding it increasingly important to keep an open mind on these things, and put less weight on the fantastic sounding or not listening to an "expert" on a subject just because he lives in a trailer in the desert with a lot of cats.

To make an informed decision on anything, you first need to be informed - since they're not going to do that (remembering that people are stupid, especially in large numbers), then you can't come to any kind of sensible conclusion. Kind of like political elections, medical responsibility, and the danger of owning too many cats - but that ends up being a whole different can of beans. Anyway, bring on another Cold War I reckon. Not only was lots of money pumped into developing cool aircraft, but it also generated material for a number of brilliant films.
