@dkl415: Aside from the fact there appears to be a direct relationship between the appearance of whatever it was and the fact that just about any nuclear missile base is in a sparsely populated area, if you had the capability and went to do a recon mission on a far off planet, would you first land or potentially make…

@Sabbatai: Well, it would be awesome if we, the USA, have had the secret NMT-O all along, and like someone else mentioned, only the upper echelons of the military (and maybe shadow govt?) knew about it?

@Balveda: Good point — these guys could still be doing the "just being a good soldier" thing.

@stirringthingsup: Are you sure you weren't just watching Star Trek IV?

@Arken: And that's not what I said. The point is, testimony from eyewitnesses with some credibility is a good start to hopefully finally getting some evidence. While it may not be what you're ultimately requiring, I think if certain powers that be who are active in the government come out and say, "ok, yes, this is…

I wonder if it would still work with an egg in place of the ball.

we can't help but wonder whether we're on the cusp of a full disclosure from the US government that they've been in contact with creatures from other worlds.

That might as well be considered code for leaving all the whimsical charm and handmade craft of the original movie behind as well...

Hmm, the shot with the most realistic lighting and context — photo #1 — is not at all flattering for this Batmobile incarnation. The rims are especially pedestrian compared to the rest of the car. I would still love to drive it around for a day.

@TitoPuente: I think their testimony is a good start.

@simonbarsinister: Didn't we? . But us humans won't stop there. We'll make bigger boards and bigger nails, and soon, we will make a board with a nail so big, it will destroy us all!

@GreasyPig: he don't even know how to pahk his cah

@ellegos: That's right, it's made of elbow macaroni.

@Deftly: And on that note, there is another thing here to consider. There have been private companies doing who knows what to acquire, compile, store, and sell as much personal data as they can get their hands on. For example, before there was a Google amassing personal data to use as a selling point for targeted…

@Deftly: I don't think it's appropriate for the government to require a company have a backdoor for them. Rather, I think it's up to the government to first get a warrant for the wiretap, then address whatever challenges there may be to review the communications. If they encounter encrypted transmissions and can't…

I think law enforcement has enough other tools and workarounds to provide security and enforce the law...sure, some of the methods may require some extra field work, but this is their job, and if they have to work a bit harder to keep our civil liberties in tact, then so be it.

@johncon3: "2) I don't do illegal things, so listen in all you want......"

The "Scream Acres" haunted house/corn maze attraction at Fritzler's Maze in Colorado is pretty cool:

Where's the shark spotters with rifles or shotguns?
