You've been looking in the wrong place. You should have been looking in Russia.

God bless Area 51 and Dreamland.

And someone teach those Pravda writers better english.

Yes, I heard of a few "UFOs" they shot down. The largest was a KAL Boeing 747, I believe.

Vodka abuse has been a long-term problem.

[Who dat?]

Supposedly, the Germans had a subterranian Antarctic UFO base in the 1930's. Even sent crews to mars in 1938 or 1939.

They were the ones that said you could make your own space vehicle powered by two air-cooled VW engines, that the moon atmosphere was "thin" but didn't require any breathing apparatus and that the temperature was "cool" but only required sturdy (wool) clothing.

I actually sent away for the plans for the space vehicle but got my letter back as "no such person at that address." I guess they had to leave.

Blame it on the Stargate.

With global domination behind them, they turned to their next objective: the conquest of space. After considerable vodka and midnight oil, their research and development work led to the construction of the hotnik lunar rocket. Its power source was a steam-turbine engine based on the principles of the sauna stove. Veiled in the strictest secrecy, the first moon flight took place in 1959, with the launching staged - partly for sentimental reasons - back of the Cowboy’s sauna.

I knew it! Finally, the truth comes out! My kids told me a UFaO was hovering over a shopping center a few years ago, and I refused to stop. (Never lived this down.) Oddly, nobody else in the intersection seemed to see the UFO, but I digress. News from the Russian UFO front finally vindicates a bunch of ten year olds. Hmm.

"In the end of the 60s a secret laboratory of researching "flying objects" was created in the USSR. Among the laboratory"s tasks was researching anti-gravitation, but the research results were made secret. Its testing area was near the town of Kapustin Yar on purpose."

Isn't this the town where Boris Badinoff was born and raised? Could this be the genesis of UPZIDAZIUM??!!!
