The Truth is Out There

. . . or not.

The LA Times carries an article about the infamous Area 51, where conspiracy theorists and UFO aficionados think the government keeps captured aliens and their spacecraft.

Oh, and some think this is where the government staged the "fake" moon landings (I was surprised to find that 7% of Americans think the moon landing was faked).

Now, intelligence agencies and the military have declassified some information about cold-war era activities there and some of the men who worked at Area 51 have gone on the record with their stories.

Turns out that it was mostly super-secret spy plane testing, but an interesting story nonetheless.
