quantumeffectWho knows, maybe I can apply some stealth technology to my basement/bedroom studio.

Not to be paranoid or anything, but make sure you don't apply any stealth treatment to the door - you might never find your way out!

My studio is currently lined with aluminum foil to prevent the government from reading my mind (this way I don't have to wear my foil lined hat when I am recording).  If I do ultimately incorporated the stealth technology I will probably leave the door lined with aluminum foil and supplement that by wearing my aluminum foil hat.

Is it true that the Mig 21 was actually smuggled out of it's factory in a lunchbox?

According to the article we borrowed it from the Israelis.
 

Besides secret U.S. aircraft work, Area 51 also hosted the study of secretly acquired Soviet MiG fighters. The first effort involved a MiG-21, designated "Fishbed-E" by NATO. Israel acquired the plane in August 1966 when a captain in the Iraqi air force defected, landing the MiG at an airbase in northern Israel — an action that been arranged in advance by the Mossad, Israel's secret intelligence service. From January 23, 1968 to April 8, 1968 the plane was loaned to the U.S. Air Force.¹⁶        

 
 

No paranoid tendencies from me. As for anything that may have gone out there in the desert, it pales to what our military and others have been doing out in the middle of the oceans for the last 60 years. A close friend of mine began to tell me some things about his time in the Navy and later working for a defense contractor. We'd both been drinking and I asked about his time in the Navy and the conversation evolved into him telling me some things that left me shaken for a few days. Nothing our military has done or is doing would surprise me at this point.

Did he really defect or did he just run out of gas? Those things had a crazy short range back then :-)

Or up near the North Pole.  There's some very interesting things that they just don't want to talk about for some reason!

One very reputable pilot did talk about the north pole and the whold "hollow earth" story.
Without ex-Nazis neither the USA or the USSR woud have had a space program for a number of years. Funny, I recorded a program last night called Nazis vs Aliens, about to watch it.

It is not so well documented that Area 51 and other like places were created after WW2 when the US confiscated several top secret German projects and took them home to reverse engineer them. Stealth technology and flying saucers were discovered in Germany way out in heavily forested areas where no one could see what they were doing. The "UFO" hysteria was rejected but then used by the military to fool would-be whistle blowers as to what was really going on. To fool enemy nations they even created a "dumby" department to make it look more authentic (your hard earned tax dollars at work). It worked so well the Russians adopted a similar approach to covering up top secret activities.
 
And those "grey aliens"? They were monkeys that had their fur shaved off and sent out into the atmosphere and space so that scientists could perform autopsies to analyse the effects of space radiation on living beings before sending humans "out there".   
 
Yes Mulder, there really was a "conspiracy" going on. Just not what everyone wants to think.

Poor guy. Nowadays aluminum foil only serves to AMPLIFY mind reading technologies. Reynold is NOT your friend, my friend! Trust me! If you want to ward off mind altering rays you must wear nothing! Nothing at all! Trust me!

It's also advisable to NOT live in a glass house when taking this approach.  The rest of the world will thank you.

It's a known fact that Daryl likes monkeys in general.  I wonder if that includes space monkeys.
